Designed to make
a difference.

What matters to you matters to Apple too. From using more recycled materials that minimise environmental impact. To privacy protections that give you more control over your data. To creating built-in features that make iPad accessible to all.

The new iPad Air has a durable design that uses 100 per cent recycled aluminium in the enclosure.

Privacy is a fundamental human right. Which is why we design our products and services to protect it.

The best technology works for everyone. That’s why our products and services are inclusive by design.

Privacy. That’s Apple.

Summary of a user's health information on the Health app

The Health app makes it easy for you to access your health and fitness information — and encrypts it on device so no one can view your Health data without your permission.

Passkeys eliminate the need for passwords on apps and websites. Just use Touch ID or Face ID to authenticate. Simple and secure.

Safari Private Browsing locks browsing windows when they’re not being used, blocks known trackers from loading and removes identifying tracking data added to URLs as you browse.
