The editors liked
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
Fantastic design
Great performance and apps
Good
Brilliant new design
Great for gaming
Best camera on a tablet
Continuity on iOS
Fast
Especially on the web
Great battery life
Beautiful screen
So very thin
The editors didn't like
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
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...
Great design, High-quality materials, Fast components, Great display, Excellent GPS module, Covers many frequencies, Good camera in daylight, Good viewing angle stability, Decent speakers, Finally 2 GB memory
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...

Abstract: The Apple iPad Air 2 review is here! Does the iPad Air 2 deserve the "Best iPad Ever" title? Find out in our full review above!The iPad Air 2 is 1.4mm thinner than the first iPad Air. It measures just 6.1mm thick, making it the thinnest tablet in the worl...
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...
