First-generation iPad Air with A7 chip

The Apple iPad Air A1474 MD785LL/A is a 9.7 inch tablet powered by a dual-core 1.40 GHz Apple A7 processor with 64-bit architecture and an M7 motion coprocessor. It ships with iOS 10 and includes 1 GB of memory alongside 16 GB of flash storage. The Retina display uses LED-backlit IPS technology at 2048 x 1536 resolution. This unit is new and finished in Space Gray.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your existing apps and cloud services still support iOS 10, as this version cannot be upgraded to current releases. Confirm that the Lightning connector matches your cables, docks and accessories. Ensure the single-band 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi with dual-channel 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz MIMO meets your network requirements. The 16 GB capacity suits light media storage but may limit users with large offline libraries.

Thermals noise and power in daily use

The fanless design produces no audible noise during operation. The slim profile at .30 inch and light weight of 1.03 lbs help dissipate heat passively across the aluminium chassis. The A7 chip and 1 GB memory draw modest power, allowing the internal battery to sustain typical mixed workloads. The 5.0 MP iSight rear camera and 1.2 MP FaceTime HD front camera operate without thermal throttling in normal conditions.

Questions about this item

Does the iPad Air A1474 MD785LL/A include a charger and cable, or must they be purchased separately?

The tablet ships as a standalone unit; a Lightning cable and USB power adapter are not included and must be bought separately.

Should I choose the 16 GB model or look for a higher capacity for offline media?

With 16 GB of flash storage and no expansion slot, the model suits light apps and streaming; heavy offline libraries will need a larger capacity.

What does the 264 ppi Retina display mean for daily reading and video?

The 9.7" 2048 x 1536 screen at 264 ppi renders text sharply and shows 1080p video with clear detail at normal viewing distances.
