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

Better specs and monster power fit into the iPad Air 2's carefully crafted body, now thinner than ever. Apple has created an incredible harmony between the hardware and software, making it a delight to use. We were hoping that all of the improvements woul...

In simple terms, if you don't have an iPad and want an iPad, this is the best iPad. It's meaningfully better in terms of portability – light, thin, rigid, glare-resistant – than the previous iPad Air, so goes straight to the top of the wanted list. But fo...

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...
