Apple iPad Air 2 Review: Should You Upgrade?

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...
Pros:
  • 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
  • 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

Gadgets get thinner every year. That's a given. But the iPad Air 2 crosses a threshold where thin makes a difference. I bought my first iPad in the summer of 2012, under the pretense that it would be a really killer digital photo frame at my wedding.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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

  • good battery life
  • Touch ID sensor

Thinking thin: Apple's iPad Air 2 reviewed

A new year means a new iPad, and here we are with another model ready for consumers to take home. Is the latest iteration Apple's best, and does it have what it takes to survive the onslaught of tablet competitors heading its way?
Pros:
  • Lovely clear screen
  • Display has much faster touch support
  • making typing just that much easier and more accurate when you're a fast typist
  • Still one of the prettiest tablet designs out there
  • Touch ID fingerprint unlocking included
Cons:
  • No flash on the rear camera
  • Mute and lock switch has disappeared
  • Still no expandable storage
  • No NFC

Apple iPad Air 2 Review

There's no longer a question as to which tablet is Apple's flagship. While the new iPad mini 3 gets a Touch ID sensor and now comes in gold, the iPad Air 2 ($499 for 16GB, $828 as tested with 128GB and LTE) offers those goodies and a whole lot more.

The iPad Air 2: A host of hidden upgrades in one skinny package

Apple has trained us pretty well about what to expect from alternating years of iDevice launches. The year of the Big Upgrade is routinely followed by the year of an extra letter tacked to the end of the name.
Pros:
  • 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 upgrade
  • If you need to take a photo
  • you may look...
Cons:
  • 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 relatively unremarkable glare guard
  • Smart Cover...
