Watch Apple’s iPad Air promo video now

2013 iPad Air (Retina, perspective)

Apple’s event has wrapped up. As the media continues to chew on on the announcements, Apple’s already refreshed its homepage with gorgeous graphics, new product information and promotional videos. These feel-good clips featuring Apple execs like design guru Jony Ive also pop up on Apple’s YouTube channel, though usually a few days following the event.

In my personal opinion, the iPad Air promo is definitely worth sharing and even though one can always stream this particular clip straight from Apple’s website, I’ve decided to make a YouTube version for easy embedding, have a look below…

I’ll let Jony Ive do the talking.

It’s interesting how the famous designer has become the public face of Apple in these promotional clips – I’m liking his Oxford English accent a lot!

By the way, if the video renders in low-res, the high-definition YouTube endocing must be still in process. No need to sweat over it, just give it another shot in half an hour or so.

The iPad Air features the 9.7-inch Retina display with 43 percent narrower side bezels.

The innards include the Apple-designed 64-bit A7 chip, the M7 motion coprocessor, the improved FaceTime HD front camera, the five-megapixel iSight camera on the back, dual microphones for enhanced Siri reception, expanded LTE bands and the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi networking via two antennas to support MIMO (Multiple-In-Multiple-Out) technology with up to 300 Mbps Wi-Fi speeds.
