How to confirm I've bought ipad air-2 ?

[magnetism1035]

hi guys,
Just bought one off of eBay. Just curious, how can I prove that the device is ipad air-2.

Does it have the fingerprint sensor on the home button?

That's a good way to check! Also see this link to identify the model number:

Oh, didn't realize the fingerprint sensor is only from the Air 2 ...

Whoa, my Air 2 says it is model NGKM2LL/A. The link says it is model A-1566.

Why the difference?

The model number on the back just tells which kind of iPad this is, while "Model" in Settings - General - About can reveal the model, it's storage and where it was sold.

The air 2 doesnt have the screen orientation lock on it.

Air2 has finger print verification

Air 2 doesn't have a mute switch either.

The iPad Air2 does have a Mute switch and Screen Orientation Lock

The iPad Air2 does have a Mute switch and Screen Orientation Lock

But only in the control centre, not as a hardware switch above the volume controls.

Unless Apple ripped me off, mine does not have a mute switch like all other iPads and iphones. This is a quick way to tell if you have an Air or an Air 2 without even turning it on.
