Stunningly thin and light
Excellent performance
Great battery life
Ten hours of battery life
Twice as fast as fourth-generation iPad
Light and thin
The iPad Air delivers solid performance and battery life in an attractive and impossibly thin-and-light package. The front-facing camera delivers excellent FaceTime capabilities and the Retina Display is top-notch
Sleek design
Powerful innards
Great suite of free apps
More compact
More powerful but keeps its 9.7 inch screen
The editors didn't like
Increased price
Speakers easily muffled
Reflective screen
Still too big for long-term one-handed use
No Touch ID
From $598 ($749 for Wi-Fi & Cellular)
No Touch ID fingerprint scanner
Meaning you'll have to type in a passcode with every unlock and a password with every purchase
Abstract: The iPad Air is thinner, lighter and more powerful than the existing full-size model. It sticks with the Retina display seen on the previous version, but weighs in at a lightweight 469g, measuring a slimline 240x169.5x7.5mm - 20 percent thinner and 28 per...
The iPad Mini 2 and the iPad Air are pretty evenly matched in key areas such as their OS, software, hardware, connectivity and reparability.The larger iPad Air has a higher brightness and contrast ratio with its display, and we also measured a longer batt...

The new iPad Air isn't exactly a radical departure from the iPads of yesterday, but that's not inherently a bad thing. Sticking with a winning formula isn't exactly a recipe for disaster, and the iPad is a known quantity-you know relatively what you get w...

Abstract: The iPad Air 2 is unquestionably one of the finest tablets on the market, but it is facing stern competition from its own predecessor, the original iPad Air .Many are justifiably sceptical about whether or not it's really worth upgrading to the second i...
Abstract: With the iPad Pro 9.7-inch launched and possibly a new iPad Air 3 in the offing, it is time to look back at the original iPad Air and the iPad Mini with Retina Display to see if they still hold up to scrutiny.(You can see all the news and rumours on the...

Since Apple retired the iPad Air, the newer iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro 9.7 would seem the logical choice. But if you're looking to get a quality larger tablet on the cheap, it may still be worth considering an iPad Air.Why? Well, you'll find plenty of iPad A...

Abstract: The iPad Air 2 is no doubt a five-star product. However, while Apple may have improved the processor, added Touch ID and tweaked the display in the Air 2, we don't feel it's enough to justify jumping from the 2013 model.Luckily, there are numerous rumou...

Slim and light (although a little thicker and heavier than iPad Air 2), Still comfortably fast enough for almost all apps and games, Beautifully designed and built
Will start to feel slower as time passes and more demanding apps are released, Screen feels slightly plasticky because of 'flex'
Slim, light, fast and beautifully built, the iPad Air 1 is one of the finest tablets available to humanity - but since the Air 2 came out, it's no longer the very finest. The Air 2 is faster still, thinner and lighter, and comes with the Touch ID fingerpr...
The iPad Air is still one of our favourite tablets. It takes everything that the old iPad 4 did and does it better, in a smaller case. However, it's the smaller size that really starts to confuse matters. Before, the choice between the iPad and iPad Mini...
