One of the thinnest tablets in the world, Allday endurance (and then some), Beautiful design, Powerful hardware with classleading ecosystem
Power users may find UX inflexible, Cameras are only soso, Display resolution is nothing special
iPads are typically not the most surprising tablets, and this edition is no exception. Iteration is never as exciting as revolution, but this an iteration on a tablet that was already near –if not at– the top of the pile for quality and capability. Again...
Somehow, even thinner than ever, Very snappy performance, thanks to A8X chip upgrade, Fingerprint login, Better cameras
The familiar iPad-family gripes (no MicroSD card slot, reliance on iTunes), Rear camera lacks a flash, Physical mute/orientation-lock switch has been eliminated
The iPad Air 2 takes the title (from Apple's original Air) of Best Tablet You Can Buy. The updates aren't enough to force an upgrade from a 2013 Air, but it'll feel like a tablet from another planet if you're still using an original iPad or iPad 2, or an...

Abstract: Proof the Apple SIM exists!My friends at Apple took pity on me and sent me one to play with. The best I can tell, they're now available at a handful of Apple Stores and are trickling into the rest. For the sake of those who got burned by greedy wireless o...
The iPad Air 2 represents a full generational leap over the 2013 iPad Air, even though that model is still more than a match for the latest 2014 models from the competition. Apple is simply blitzing its tablet competitors by making the absolute best flags...

Pressure-sensitive case, Configurable toggle was removed, Problems with iOS 8.1, Throttling of the CPU and GPU, Only LTE Cat. 4, No Bluetooth 4.1, NFC without antennas can only be used in combination with Apple Pay, Signal noise of the Bluetooth connectio
In Review Apple iPad Air 2The Apple iPad Air 2 is still a really good tablet that is pleasing with its even slimmer construction and high-quality materials. Unfortunately, the slim construction also results in some drawbacks since the tablet is more sensi...
Fast, Continuity feature allows seamless integration with other Apple devices, Touch ID feature, builtin encryption
No LED flash support for photos and movies, camera specs lag behind iPhone 6 models, cannot use Apple Pay via NFC
When the iPad was first released in 2010, I described it as a leap ahead for computing -- a tool that simplified interaction in a way that I thought would make computing accessible to even more people. And when I looked at last year's iPad Air, I said...
Abstract: But after a few days of playing with it, I am, well, a bit confused. This tablet clearly has the potential to be great, and yet, it isn't. Not yet at least.While I don't feel like I've been able to spend enough time with the Nexus 9 to give it the full re...
