what is the difference between the apple ipad and the apple ipad air?
Perhaps the biggest difference in design is the size of the screen. The standard iPad has a screen size of 9.7 inches, while the iPad Air steps things up to 10.5 inches. ... The iPad Air is also a little thinner: While the standard iPad comes in at 0.29 inches thick, the iPad Air sits in at 0.24 inches.
