Can anyone tell me if the iPad Air 2 box should say "iPad Air 2" on it? Or does it say just "iPad Air"?

Can anyone tell me if the iPad Air 2 box should say "iPad Air 2" on it? Or does it say just "iPad Air"? I can't open the box to check contents because it's a Christmas present.

iPad Air, iOS 8.1

Here's a photo. A better way is to use the model number on the back of the box.

Hi Folks,


I just purchased the iPad Air 2 and had the same annoying confusion after driving one hour to purchase it. The Target store manager said the difference is the the iPad Air 2 has the "Bit Apple" icon before the name. Boxes without the Apple icon are iPad Air.


Another shopper at the store display case asked me the same question but she was looking for a mini which has three models, iPad mini, iPad mini 2 & iPad mini 3. So I told her to ask the manger. Apple puts a lot into their product packaging design I don't understand why the product names are so illusive.


Happy Holidays !.

Glad to hear you got the problem sorted out. A simple way to tell just by looking at your iPad is the iPad Air 2 has no side switch.

A secondary way to tell is to look at the speaker cutouts/perforations at bottom edge on either side of the Lightning port...iPad Air has two rows, iPad Air 2 has one row.

Can anyone tell me if the iPad Air 2 box should say "iPad Air 2" on it? Or does it say just "iPad Air"?
