    iPad Air iPad Air 4th generation question - flash

    I was looking on Apple's refurbished & clearance discount pages, and I saw the iPad Air (4th generation) was for sale there. Did these older Airs include a flash with the rear-facing camera? When was the flash introduced to the Air? Thanks in advance.
