The editors didn't like
Not enough to make you ditch your original iPad Air
No Apple Pay in Australia
Still expensive
Priced relatively high for a tablet
Single speaker isn't that loud compared to iPad Pro
No flash on the rear camera
Mute and lock switch has disappeared
Still no expandable storage
No NFC
Battery has suffered a little
Not worth the upgrade for most
16GB of storage not enough for most people
Expensive
Apple locks its ecosystem
Not the latest Apple tech
Not as easy to hold with a single hand as narrower small-screen tablets
Slimmer than a shaved pencil, lighter than a pound, Sleek design and now comes in gold, Fast A8X SoC, 2GB of RAM, and new storage tiers, Upgraded cameras are finally worth talking about, Lots of little upgrades, such as the Touch ID sensor and barometer,
While battery life is as advertised, it's less than the previous iPad Air
Let's be careful not to pigeonhole the iPad Air 2 as a glorified web browsing device, it's also adept at playing games. It gave NVIDIA's SHIELD tablet a run for its money by posting a higher average framerate in the offscreen T-Rex test in GFXBench, and t...

If you're an Android fan, there are plenty of alternative tablets to choose from. Prominent among these are Samsung's excellent SuperAMOLEDequipped Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (which also comes in an 8.4inch model), and Sony's slimline (6.4mm) 10.1inch Xperia Z2 Ta
So, if you're in the market for an iPad, should you buy the Air or the Air 2? The answer largely depends on how much you value the latest model's 6.1mm thinness, how much you need the A8X's extra processing and graphics speed and extra 1GB of RAM, whether...
Vast tabletoptimized app selection, Powerful performance, Intuitive interface, Good battery life, Incredibly thin and light
Little user customization
Reviewers say that the iPad Air 2 is the best iPad ever, and the best tablet available, bar none. The battery lasts forever, performance is among the best of any tablet, and the huge number of tablet-optimized apps can't be beat.Breaking it downPerforman...

Abstract: PreviousPerformanceThere is a significant performance bump with the Apple A8X processor--so much that the iPad Air 2 can replace your laptop in many situations. Part of the significant performance bump is also due to the 2GB RAM used. We had several tabs ...

It's an iPad, which means it's a finely crafted tablet with an app store filled to bursting with the latest mobile games and utilities. This one is better than ever before, I love that I can now lift a 10-inch screen above my head in bed and watch movies
I don't give a damn about Touch ID until Apple trusts my fingerprint enough not to require a password ever again, and until Apple lets me use it to buy things at brick and mortar stores with Apple Pay, Advertisement, It's expensive: I paid $730 for the mo
If you dont have an iPad and want an iPad, this is the best iPad there is. Its meaningfully better in terms of portability (light, thin, rigid, glare-resistant) than the previous iPad Air, and thats about it. But for $450, the previous 32GB iPad Air wi...
Lacks innovation, Expensive, No expandable storage
Balancing act Every year Apple has to tread a fine line, by trying to offer consumers enough of an upgrade over last year's product without over-promising one year only to under deliver the next. The 4th generation iPad was a misstep in this regards a...

Reduced weight and thickness make this easy enough to use with one hand, let alone held normally with two, Triple-core processor and 2GB of RAM can be felt in basic apps like heavy-duty browsing and video exporting, Touch ID is a welcome home-button upgra
Apps, games, and iOS in general all have yet to catch up to the boosted specs, It's hard to call the gorgeous screen "bad" by any measure, but anyone expecting a major improvement to last year's model will be disappointed, especially in terms of a relativ
