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

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.

Apple iPad Air 2 Review

There's no longer a question as to which tablet is Apple's flagship. While the new iPad mini 3 gets a Touch ID sensor and now comes in gold, the iPad Air 2 ($499 for 16GB, $828 as tested with 128GB and LTE) offers those goodies and a whole lot more.

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.
Pros:
  • Thin
  • light and elegant design
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent performance
  • Low-reflectivity Retina HD display
  • Touch ID support
  • Improved iSight and FaceTime HD cameras
Cons:
  • Lower-capacity battery than the 2013 iPad Air
  • No MicroSD storage expansion
