YouTube has no 1080p option iPad

SO I just got an iPad Air 2 and I notice that when I'm watching a YouTube video it does not give me the option for 1080p quality.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Not all videos are available in HD quality.

When playing a video, tap on the " ... " icon, then the Quality (clog wheel) icon, to see all available settings. If you select Automatic, YouTube will use the highest quality available suitable for your connection speed.

I Understand I have searched for videos that are 1080p on other devices like my Mac or pc and it does give my 1080p option.

but the iPad Air 2 won't no matter what video it is. Just gives me the option of 720.

I have iPad Air 2 and the 1080p option is available when on Wi-Fi connection.

Make sure you're using the latest version of YouTube and that you have a good internet connection.
