today Apple released a brand new iPad and it's time to get inside the box I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is our unboxing of the Apple iPad air it's November 1st and that means one thing it's new iPad day Apple recently announced this and we thought it was gonna be the iPad 5 but it's the iPad air we pretty much knew everything about it before it was officially announced and this is the 32 gigabyte model it's supposed to be thinner lighter and it's basically sporting the design of the iPad Mini on a much larger frame and nine point seven inch display but let's get into the box and see what it's all about pretty much guess and tell you what's inside but we're gonna open it up anyway cut off the plastic wrap that Apple is so well known for throw it to the side and open the box okay so we got the Space Gray model as you can see it's got the black front a Space Gray on the back we're gonna move that to the side you've got your power block or a/c adapter reading materials and your lightning cable so that is all that's inside the box nothing underneath there it's just these things so no earbuds just this pretty simple implant that out of the way let's take a look at the actual device because that's what really matters right so it's a plastic off take a look and it's got a matte finish it's a nice matte finish kind of similar to what we've seen on the iPhone 5s that's some stuff on my hair looks like it's just stuff like residue left from the plastic but this is a nine point seven inch 2048 by 1536 resolution display so that is the same it's 264 pixels per inch this thing is only 7.5 millimeters thick it is so thin so thin and it's pretty narrow it's much narrower not as much bezel on the side here and it is only one pound so it's much lighter than last year's model by actually almost half a pound it's point four pounds lighter which is which is really nice and that matters when you're dealing with a tablet this size but as you can see just like the iPad Mini this has the lightning connector on the bottom with your dual speakers on the bottom the speaker on the top your microphones here 3.5 millimeter headphone jack at the top power button a 5 megapixel camera your volume control and your mute switch and that's that's pretty much it - your home button which is not touch ID it does not have finger sensing capabilities it's just a standard home button and lastly let's get this thing powered on it should look just like all the others but hey alright so we've got this thing powered up and I've restored it really quickly from an old backup and we're just gonna jump through this and we can talk about more about its internals really quickly it's gonna take a while to download all these apps I made that mistake but on the inside it has 1 gigabyte of RAM like before it has a 32 point 4 watt hour battery which is supposed to give it still about the same 10 hour battery life and of course it has the a7 chipset from Apple inside which is actually the same chipset as the iPhone 5s but it's clocked at 100 megahertz faster so it's it's not gonna provide that much of a difference but other than that this is pretty much the same as before same thing very similar software iOS 7 and it's not all that different from last year's tablet except for its design that's the big thing here so you get the a7 chip and a new design is that in the display as far as we can tell here looks just as great as before so we're gonna be interested to see what this device is like over you know the next couple of days and weeks so stay tuned for that we're gonna have some comparisons up on the site next week and a full review following that maybe a couple days and probably week after that so stay tuned for that I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow this is the iPad air unboxing and I will see you next time we hope you enjoyed the video and if you did be sure to click the thumbs up button below to let us know and subscribe to the channel to see more videos in the future including more iPad air coverage over the next couple of weeks be sure to follow us in all the usual places twitter google+ and facebook at pocket now I'm Taylor Martin you can find me on twitter at casper tech and i will see you next time
