iPad Air 2

 

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...

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

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

iPad Air 2 review

 

Powerful, beautiful and simply brilliant - Apple's taken the perfect tablet and made it even better.

Sleek Superbly powerful Lovely screen

Volume silencer gone 16GB is too little storage

A brilliant tablet that has further raised the bar for the rest of the competition. If you're in two minds what to go for - this is your choice.

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. Apple has once again created a...

Screen improvements (anti-glare limits reflections), even more power, thinner design, TouchID integrated, best iPad camera yet

No curved glass from the iPhone 6 range, camera could be better still, lock/rotation switch absent, original iPad Air remains strong

Apple has once again created a fantastic tablet in the iPad Air 2, ideal for those at the top-end of the market looking for the best on offer. It's faster, lighter, thinner - just all-round better than before.

iPad Air 2 review

 

The iPad Air 2, is thinner, faster and better than ever, but with the launch of an iPad Pro 9.7 it's received a price cut. Since it's still one of the best tablets, that's excellent news. Here's our Apple iPad 2 review.

Besides the Touch ID fingerprint feature, the screen assembly and uprated processor are the headline features. New cameras are a bonus too. Overall the Apple iPad Air 2 is the best tablet you can buy, even though it's been discontinued by Apple. Its...

iPad Air 2 review

 

Editors' note (March 21, 2017): Apple has retired the iPad Air 2, replacing it with a new 9.7-inch model called, simply, the " iPad ." The new iPad, which is virtually identical to the iPad Air 2, come equipped with one significant upgrade: a A9...

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.

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

The Surface Pro 3 was unveiled by Microsoft in May 2014 as a device that can replace both your laptop and your tablet. Now, a new model of the Surface has arrived, this time simply called Surface 3. It's an all-new, more affordable option for potential...

Overall, the Surface 3 and iPad Air 2 are very different devices, and deciding between the two is all going to depend on what you plan on using your tablet for. It's difficult to beat the iPad Air 2 when it comes to design, portability and its user...

iPad Air 2 review: On its fifth birthday the iPad is better than ever

 

Apple has updated its full-size Apple iPad Air, and its replacement is known as the iPad Air 2. The new model keeps the same essential form – the same height and width, screen size and resolution – but includes some changes that raise it above the...
