A method of manufacturing a magnetic head apparatus provided with a slider having an ABS includes a step of aging a bar with a plurality of sliders, a step of lapping a surface or the bar, the surface including the ABS to be formed, the lapping step including a final lapping process for finally lapping the surface of the bar, a step of forming rails of the respective sliders of the bar after the final lapping process, the forming step including a photolithographic etching process to form the rails, and a step of cutting the bar to separate into the individual sliders. The aging step is carried out before the final lapping process or with the final lapping process. |
