It is functional, and does what we require of it. Have not got to grips with everything yet, but are getting there.

Try to access to a random character for text editing, for backspace or deletion. You will understand how easy it is in any other touchscreen . Not in iPad. Many seemingly simple things are hard to do on iPad.

Update: Later this year the iPad Air 2 will see an update to the latest iOS 11 software. Apple has now stopped selling the iPad Air 2 and has instead replaced it with a new product, simply entitled the iPad. We've compared the new Apple slate with the iPad Air 2 here .

Bought for my son as a replacement as his old ipad was stolen in a burglary at our house. This one is a much better version, lighter, quicker and more storage. He loves it!

Purchased two of these a few weeks back now to replace a 5 year old iPad that the family has been sharing, the new ones's are for my wife and I, I purchased the pencil's with them too.

If you're short of time and need to get off then all you need to heed is this, the iPad Air 2 is the best tablet we've ever reviewed. Apple has done it again and improved on the already excellent iPad Air (that's remains on sale for a lower price) from 2013.

Screen doesn't reflect much; Great performance; Ultra-slim design; Improved camera

Battery life a little lower; 16GB version storage too low

Apple's aging mid-range tablet is still the perfect mix of size and performance for nearly everyone.

The iPad Air 2 has a great balance of size and weight. Crisp, bright display. iOS 9 runs perfectly, including split-screen apps.

Priced relatively high for a tablet; single speaker isn't that loud compared to iPad Pro.

Welcome to our iPad Air 2 review, last updated back in January 2016. Please note that (as of 21 March 2017) the Air 2 is no longer on sale on Apple's online store (you'll still be able to find it on some reseller websites and through Apple's education sales scheme).

I received my new iPad Air a few weeks ago. I am totally in love. I was able to transfer everything I needed to do business with ease. Smart purchase indeed.

I bought this for my husband... just because he works so hard for his family. Made his day & uses it so much in his free time. Very simple & versatile to use.
