Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

iPad Air 2 is the tablet which was launched by Apple in October last year and has impressed plenty of publications with its features including the thickness, quality of the display, performances, camera quality and more.

The cable has a rubberized finish and the Lightning end which connects to the tablet permits fitting on both sides; this cable contains security features via four embedded chips, along with some passive devices:
