iPad Air 2 display
The iPad Air 2 has the same 9.7-inch, 1536 x 2048 264ppi display as its predecessor, but it's not a carbon copy as Apple has developed a zero air gap screen.
It claims that this anti-reflective coating reduces screen reflections by 56%, which should provide clearer, brighter images.

The iPad Air 2 houses Apple's new A8X chip created specifically for the tablet, providing 40% faster CPU performance for apps and it claims graphics are 2.5 times faster.
Apple bigged up the graphic performance of its new chip, which means games should look pretty awesome on the Air 2, with the promise console quality graphics.
The M8 motion co-processor also resides inside (just like the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus), plus Apple has stuffed in a barometer as well, because it can.
