  • Lots of little upgrades
  • such as the Touch ID sensor and barometer
  • Yet again
  • pricing remains the same
  • 1-year...
Cons:
  • While battery life is as advertised
  • it's less than the previous iPad Air
  • Isn't built for productivity
  • C'mon Apple
  • start including Beats earphones

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 early Android.
Pros:
  • Somehow
  • even thinner than ever
  • Very snappy performance
  • thanks to A8X chip upgrade
  • Fingerprint login
  • Better cameras
Cons:
  • 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

Apple iPad Air 2 review

Bottom line, if you have an iPad 4 or older or an original mini, you'll love the improvements in the iPad Air 2. If you already have the Air, then you may not feel the improvements are worth spending hundreds of dollars for and may be happier waiting for the Air 3 or whatever Apple brings us next.
Pros:
  • Thinner and lighter than any previous full-sized iPad
  • Improved camera
  • NFC chip lets you use Apple Pay for online purchases
  • Faster than previous iPads
  • Better sound than previous iPads
  • Thumbprint reader for increased security and for use with Apple Pay
Cons:
  • Incremental updates may not seem worth the purchase to people with the iPad Air

Apple iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3

The form-factor didn't change since last year's redesign, but even though the iPad Air 2 is slimmer than its predecessor, Apple didn't sacrifice battery life. The company claims up to 10 hours using Wi-Fi, and in three battery rundown tests I averaged 10 hours and 14 minutes of continuously watching...
Pros:
  • Incredibly fast A8X processor makes everything feel more immediate
  • same great battery life
  • easier to see in bright sunlight, Comes in gold and has Touch ID
Cons:
  • 16GB isn't enough storage for the entry level model
  • Otherwise it's the same as last year's
