It's an iPad. Seriously
That sounds funny

The editors didn't like
No volume silencer
Not a lot new
Pro 9.7in is very expensive
Is it possible to make a tablet too beautiful? Maybe we're neurotic
But these are versatile
Multi-tasking devices – is that always best served all dressed up in your Sunday best? We do feel like we have to smother its waif-like aluminium in a chunky cas
The 16GB option is still too small for Retina HD apps
As they'll munch through your capacity in no time at all
Add to that the increased space a 64-bit app will take and if you're thinking of nabbing a load of high-power apps (which you should want to
The 16GB option was too small
But Apple has now ditched that giving you 32GB and 128GB models which suit this slate much better and makes the entry level option far more approachable
The dislikes are beyond nitpicking
The slow motion video is capped at

Restrictive

Mute button has gone
Slender frame makes us worry about robustness (although we've experienced no problems so far)

No waterproofing
ICloud features have some problems
The iPad Pro 9.7in is even better

The iPad Air 2 represents a full generational leap over the 2013 iPad Air, even though that model is still more than a match for the latest 2014 models from the competition. Apple is simply blitzing its tablet competitors by making the absolute best flags...

Slimmer than a shaved pencil, lighter than a pound, Sleek design and now comes in gold, Fast A8X SoC, 2GB of RAM, and new storage tiers, Upgraded cameras are finally worth talking about, Lots of little upgrades, such as the Touch ID sensor and barometer,
While battery life is as advertised, it's less than the previous iPad Air
Let's be careful not to pigeonhole the iPad Air 2 as a glorified web browsing device, it's also adept at playing games. It gave NVIDIA's SHIELD tablet a run for its money by posting a higher average framerate in the offscreen T-Rex test in GFXBench, and t...

So, if you're in the market for an iPad, should you buy the Air or the Air 2? The answer largely depends on how much you value the latest model's 6.1mm thinness, how much you need the A8X's extra processing and graphics speed and extra 1GB of RAM, whether...

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, I love that I can now lift a 10-inch screen above my head in bed and watch movies
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, Advertisement, It's expensive: I paid $730 for the mo
If you dont have an iPad and want an iPad, this is the best iPad there is. Its meaningfully better in terms of portability (light, thin, rigid, glare-resistant) than the previous iPad Air, and thats about it. But for $450, the previous 32GB iPad Air wi...
