It is ideal for students, professionals and everyday users who need a powerful device for tasks such as browsing, media consumption, productivity and light creative work.

The iPad Air 2 does not support Apple Pencil, which limits its use for creative tasks.

The iPad Air (3rd generation) supports the 1st generation Apple Pencil, making it better suited for note-taking, drawing, and other creative applications.
