AppleFor a device that is so similar to its siblings, iPad Air is much different than any tablet Apple has ever put out before. Weighing just one pound, it has the body of a Mini in the size of an iPad 4, with a side bezel that’s 33 percent thinner than its predecessor (and an overall heft that’s 20 percent slimmer). Inside, save for a processor swap-out, iPad Air and iPad 4 are largely the same, both with identical connectivity options (LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE), a 10-hour battery, and a 2,048 by 1,536 Retina touch display. But from a usability perspective, these two tablets couldn't be more different, because when an app is launched, the iPad Air seems to fade into the background — it’s almost as if the software takes up the physical space, rather than the device. This experience is what Apple marketing minds had always boasted about but never quite achieved. And with this new design, it’s as if they pulled it out of thin air.
