Apple iPad Air 2 review : Apple's best tablet yet, but is that enough

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

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

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

Apple iPad Air 2

As S21 we like incremental improvements. If a design is good, don't mess with it, we say. Apple users will appreciate the sense of continuity when upgrading from an older iPad to the Air 2.

iPad Air 2 review

When we began this review 3,000 words ago, we wanted to determine whether the iPad Air 2 was as perfect in 2014 as the iPad Air was in 2013. The answer is yes. It has earned the same perfect score as its predecessor, making the iPad Air line the only two products to which we have ever awarded...
Pros:
  • Gorgeous design
  • thinner and lighter than last model
  • tri-core CPU screams
  • double RAM of last model
  • long battery life
  • excellent photography for a tablet
  • fingerprint recognition
  • excellent selection of apps
  • still easy to use
Cons:
  • Drawbacks will be subjective, such as a less open app ecosystem
  • lacks 60fps video capture of iPhone line
  • speaker quality reduced versus predecessor

Apple iPad Air 2 review: Lighter, faster, thinner, better

The original iPad Air is a fantastic tablet. Perfect for the home, upon its launch in 2013 it shared the stage with the more portable iPad mini with Retina display, offering equal power in different sized packages.
Pros:
  • Screen improvements (anti-glare limits reflections)
  • even more power
  • thinner design
  • TouchID integrated
  • best iPad camera yet
Cons:
  • No curved glass from the iPhone 6 range
  • camera could be better still
  • lock/rotation switch absent
  • original iPad Air remains strong
