Another thing that Apple is boasting is the new 8 megapixel f/2.2 camera that can not only do the basics but also panoramas, timelapse, slo-mo videos and a lot more, all as if Apple wants tablet photography to be a trend.

As you’d expect, Touch ID is also coming to the iPad Air, and it will function accordingly with Apple Pay.
