iPad Air 2 review: A great tablet gets better

If you liked last year's iPad Air, you'll almost certainly like this year's version, unveiled early last month (along with the 5K Retina iMac) by Apple CEO Tim Cook.

  • Fast components
  • Great display
  • Excellent GPS module
  • Covers many frequencies
  • Good camera in daylight
  • Good viewing angle stability

  • but also really fast.

  • Thin
  • light and elegant design
  • Excellent build quality
  • Excellent performance
  • Low-reflectivity Retina HD display
  • Touch ID support
  • Improved iSight and FaceTime HD cameras

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
