Apple iPad Air 2 review: Slimmer and faster, but a smaller battery

Summary: The iPad Air 2's performance enhancements will appeal to those who run graphically demanding apps, although Apple's quest for thinness comes at the cost of reduced battery capacity. Last year's iPad Air remains a good option, but the Air 2 will be the power user's choice.
Pros:
  • Thin
  • light and elegant design
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent performance
  • Low-reflectivity Retina HD display
  • Touch ID support
  • Improved iSight and FaceTime HD cameras
Cons:
  • Lower-capacity battery than the 2013 iPad Air
  • No MicroSD storage expansion

Apple iPad Air 2 review: Slimmer and faster, but a smaller battery

Smartphone and tablet vendors seem to be locked in an arms race to build the thinnest possible devices at the moment, with the current thinnest smartphone - the Oppo R5 - being so skeletal at 4.85mm that it can't even accommodate a 3.5mm audio jack.
Pros:
  • Thin
  • light and elegant design
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent performance
  • Low-reflectivity Retina HD display
  • Touch ID support
  • Improved iSight and FaceTime HD cameras
Cons:
  • Lower-capacity battery than the 2013 iPad Air
  • No MicroSD storage expansion

Most are in agreement that Apple's iPad Air 2 is one of the finest tablets ever produced, if not the best out there, period. Certainly, it's not difficult to make that case -- after all, the latest 9.7-inch iPad is thinner than its predecessor at just 6.1mm thick, wicked fast with its custom A8X...

  • Slimmer than a shaved pencil
  • lighter than a pound
  • Sleek design and now comes in gold

  • 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
