  • Advertisement
  • It's expensive
  • I paid $730 for the mo
  • The iPad Air 2 should start with 32GB of storage and it would be great to see Apple deliver better sound
  • No LED flash support for photos and movies
  • Camera specs lag behind iPhone 6 models
  • Cannot use Apple Pay via NFC
  • Incremental updates may not seem worth the purchase to people with the iPad Air
  • Little user customization
  • Apps
  • Games
  • And iOS in general all have yet to catch up to the boosted specs

  • Thinner than any other Apple device, Screen brighter than iPad Air, Powerful new processor is a step up, iPads have best app selection of any tablet, Improved rear camera, Touch ID added
  • 16GB model does not have enough storage, Speaker quality worse than Air 1, iPad Air 1 is $100 cheaper, Not water resistant, No MicroSD storage options
  • The iPad Air 2 is a worthy new iPad. It doesn't reinvent the market, but it does perfect it. This is as close to Steve Jobs original vision for an iPad as we can imagine. It's a fantastic tablet and outshines everything else out there in almost every mea...

  • Gorgeous design; thinner and lighter than last model; tricore CPU screams; double RAM of last model; long battery life; excellent photography for a tablet; fingerprint recognition; excellent selection of apps; still easy to use
  • Drawbacks will be subjective, such as a less open app ecosystem; lacks 60fps video capture of iPhone line; speaker quality reduced versus predecessor
  • The iPad Air 2 is a more refined version of the most accomplished iPad to date When we began this review 3,000 words ago, we wanted to determine whether the iPad Air 2 was as perfect in 2014 as the iPad Air was in 2013. The answer is yes. It has earn...

  • Thinner than ever, Turbo powered processor, Touch ID
  • Hardware mute button missing, Not enough upgrades?, Some will want new design
  • The question with the iPad Air 2 is not 'Should you upgrade?' so much as 'Are you ready for your next tablet?'If you are, this is - by a long chalk - the best one around, matching superb hardware with Apple's user interface, unbeaten in intuitive usabilit...

  • Screen improvements (anti-glare limits reflections), even more power, thinner design, TouchID integrated, best iPad camera yet
  • No curved glass from the iPhone 6 range, camera could be better still, lock/rotation switch absent, original iPad Air remains strong
  • Apple has once again created a fantastic tablet in the iPad Air 2, ideal for those at the top-end of the market looking for the best on offer. It's faster, lighter, thinner - just all-round better than before. Will devices like the budget Tesco Hud...

  • Abstract:  The original iPad Air was a remarkable machine: so light it ceased to notice in a bag, so slim that it really lived up to the marketing hype of being a sheet of glass in your hand. Customers, Apple crowed, reported 100 per cent satisfaction.So how to ...

  • Priced relatively high for a tablet; single speaker isn't that loud compared to iPad Pro
  • The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets....

  • Abstract:  While we got our probing hands all over Apple's new lighter, thinner, more TouchID-ier iPad Air 2 tablet for a good half an hour at the Berlin launch event last week, our review sample appears, rather unfortunately, to still be in the post. Or maybe Gera...
