Display & Camera

iPad Air 2 features the same 9.7-inch display with 2048 x 1536 pixels resolution. While, the iPad Air 2’s display is very similar to that of its predecessor in size and pixel density, Apple has removed the air gap between the display and the glass protection and introduced a new anti-reflective coating. This two factors combined gives the iPad Air 2 a superior viewing experience indoors and especially outdoors.

The camera has been upgraded from 5 megapixels to 8 megapixels. The new camera now offers slow-mo video amongst other features.
