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 Wifi + Cellular (64GB, Silver) - Excellent review

Overall, there’s a lot to go over on the iPad Air 2. While the name suggests that it’s an iterative update in nature, in practice these updates add a lot of compelling hardware to the high-end iPad line. One of the first areas worth looking at here is the design.

  • 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

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

Apple iPad Air 2 review: His Airness

Another millimeter thinner, the new iPad Air 2 has a body that's even more befitting the ethereal moniker the iPad bears second year in a row. Outside of that little fact however, the changes may not be as easy to spot. And that's hardly a surprise.
Pros:
  • 3G/LTE 150Mbps model available as an option (comes with GPS/GLONASS, 9.7" LED-backlit IPS LCD touchscreen, 1536 x 2048 pixels, ~ 264ppi
  • scratch-resistant, oleophobic coating, 56% less reflectance claimed, Thinner than ever at 6.1 mm and lighter at 437g, A8X 64-bit chipset (rumored as triple-core,...
Cons:
  • Hardware Mute/Rotation lock switch is gone for no practical reason
  • No microSD slot
  • Pricey storage upgrades
  • 32GB version should be standard for the asking price
  • No enhanced resistance to liquids or dust
  • while the competition has them
  • Tied into iTunes for uploading most of the content
  • iOS UI...

Review of the Apple iPad Air 2

However, if you own any previous non-Air Apple iPad, the opposite is true – keep reading, because you have every reason to upgrade. You've held on to your old iPad long enough .

I see some great fireworks, but where's the bang?

The iPad Air 2 is impressive - It's not the bold, drastic change its predecessor was. The iPad Air 2 has a Touch ID home button, A8X chipset, higher-res camera which all perform perfectly.
Pros:
  • screen
Cons:
  • lack of 'game changing' technology
