Full-sized iPad Air packs A7 processor into thinner design
Apple introduced the fifth generation of its full-sized iPad on Tuesday, re-naming its tablet the iPad Air. The new offering bumps up the speed and performance while slimming the bezels to give the iPad a sleeker look.
The iPad Air sports the same 9.7-inch Retina display as its full-szied predecessor, but it has a much smaller bezel around the screen—43 percent thinner than previous generation, according to Apple. Overall, it’s 20 percent thinner than fourth-generation model. And at one pound (down from 1.4 pounds), it’s lighter than before as well.
During Apple’s special media event, senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller called it, “the lightest full-sized tablet in the world.”
