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

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 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...

  • Incredibly fast A8X processor makes everything feel more immediate
  • same great battery life

Great!

It's a very good device. It's fast moving all the apps, and it has got a very good display. Also, the price is very important, but nowadays it is not expensive, so if you want an iPad, you should buy it!
