Apple iPad Air 2 (4G) review: Small tweaks, big difference

Apple started with the size of the iPad. The Air 2 retains its 9.7in, 2048x1536 resolution screen, although it rests in a body that is 6mm thin. Turns out Apple has shaved the Air 2 down by 19 per cent.
Pros:
  • Great performance
  • Thin at 6mm
  • Improved cameras
  • Finger scanner
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Apple locks its ecosystem

Apple iPad Air 2

When the iPad first arrived on the scene it took the world by storm and basically brought the idea of tablets into the mainstream. Now, Apple is facing tough competition from other manufacturers and has seen their sales flatten out in the past couple years.
Pros:
  • Reduced weight and thickness
  • Incredibly fast performance
  • Beautiful display with vibrant colors and deep blacks
Cons:
  • Potential issues with bending
  • 16GB base model not worth the price
  • No real improvement in battery life

Apple iPad Air 2

The Apple iPad is fading away, so it can make iOS apps even more visible. Apple's obsession with making its iPads thinner and thinner, lighter and lighter every year is a philosophical statement. The computer should disappear; all that should be left is the app.
Pros:
  • Very thin and light
  • Extremely fast processor
  • Best app design and selection of any platform
  • Cellular models can be switched between wireless carriers in software
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Battery life is just okay

The iPad Air 2 is undoubtedly Apple's best tablet to date. Its Touch ID fingerprint scanner works well, it's thin, light and powerful and lasts a long time on a single charge. But it no longer stands head and shoulders above the competition.

  • thin
  • light
  • long battery
  • powerful processor
  • fingerprint sensor
  • decent camera
Cons:
  • expensive
  • small upgrade over last year
  • square screen
  • no expandable storage

But as I tested out Apple's new iPad Air 2 , I see why people like to shoot pictures with a tablet. Images look great on the large screen, and there's less guesswork about whether or not small details, such as lettering on a sign, will be in focus.

iPad Air 2 review

The iPad Air 2 is the best tablet ever created - and that's not us getting excited over an Apple product for the sake of it. From the amazing engineering that got this thing so thin and yet still feeling so premium, to the A8X chip which has given the tablet more grunt than anything else out there,...
Pros:
  • Upgraded screen
  • Slimmer design
  • Super speedy processor
Cons:
  • 16GB is a little low on space
  • No mute switch
