iPad Air Data Recovery
The iPad Air sits in the middle of Apple’s range and is especially popular with students and business users. We recover data from all iPad Air generations, from the original 2013 model to the M4 iPad Air released in 2026.
This includes the iPad Air 2 (2014, A8X chip) – the first iPad with Touch ID and a laminated display, which makes screen damage more likely to affect the touch layer.

Important – Please Read
About passcodes: iPhones and iPads encrypt all data using a key tied to your passcode and the device’s own chip. No recovery company can bypass a forgotten passcode, and the storage cannot be moved to another device. What we can do is repair a damaged, dead or water-damaged device so that it starts again – and once you enter your passcode, we copy your data off. Please make sure you know the passcode before sending the device.
