Apple's marketing suggests that the iPad Air 2 is the fastest, thinnest, best iPad Air ever. But they would say that. Is the iPad Air 2 worth buying, or upgrading from if you're an existing iPad owner? First up: My early impressions, and a comparison to last year's iPad Air.

Apple has sold more iPads in the last four years than it sold iPhones in the first four years they were available. And yet, despite these amazing figures, Apple's tablet business is suffering.

iPad Air 2 Review – Another Incremental Update

The iPad Air 2 is not worth the upgrade if you already have the Air 1. Aside from the enhanced hardware, better camera and Touch ID, there simply isn't anything compelling. The Absence of NFC relegates Apple Pay to being able to make App Store purchases, without having to type in your password.
Pros:
  • Anti-reflection screen coating
  • Faster processing
  • More RAM
  • Wireless Connection is faster
  • Touch ID
Cons:
  • Very Minor Upgrade
  • No Mute button or rotation lock
  • Apple SIM does not work in Canada or Australia

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...

iPad Air 2: Vulture chews on new Apple tablet

All in all, this is one quick tablet, all set for some great game playing if you like that sort of thing. It also makes for a silk-smooth interface and the power to take on production duties from the more serious apps out there. The best iPad upgrade yet? Undoubtedly.

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

Apple iPad Air 2 review: Slimmer and faster, but a smaller battery

Summary: The iPad Air 2's performance enhancements will appeal to those who run graphically demanding apps, although Apple's quest for thinness comes at the cost of reduced battery capacity. Last year's iPad Air remains a good option, but the Air 2 will be the power user's choice.

  • light and elegant design
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent performance
