Apple iPad Air 2 review: His Airness

17 November 2014
Another millimeter thinner, the new iPad Air 2 has a body that’s even more befitting the ethereal moniker the iPad bears second year in a row. Outside of that little fact however, the changes may not be as easy to spot. And that’s hardly a surprise. Apple’s...

    AnonD-27765, 17 Nov 2014Unarguably the best tablet in the world. Everything else is... moreAs far as hardware goes I agree. But the OS is last decade's deal. Seriously ios is such a paltry os for tablets that I'm surprised that they have yet to device a mac os - ios hybrid for their ipad line. It's a shame too, such a great hardware goes to waste: no serious multitasking, minimal external devices' support, no pen support (bad for students), and so forth.

    I bought a note tablet for half the ipad's price, Uninstalled Samsung's bloat and it can do things that no ipad could even dream. And I find that to be a shame because samsung devices have mediocre hardware in a cheap casing, yet their os is years ahead compared to ios.

    Ios is a real bottleneck for the iPad line and it's one of the reasons why Ipads lose sales. I guess it was OK for 2010, but nowadays it's simply a shameful state of affairs.

              Ipad Air 2 easily dethrones Nexus 9 and company easily in performance. Feel sorry for the short reign of Nexus.

                    I would've preferred a bigger battery than extra thin. It's all about usability of the device.

                        I love mine. 128 GB Space gray wifi+cell. It feels like youre just holding a screen.

                        Its so thin and light and so so powerful. No game gives any problem and website loading is nearly instant on a fast wifi connection.

                        Very satisfied.

                          iPad new designs are every 3-4 years (remember when Jobs stated that consumer update cycle is 2 years for phones, 4 for tablets and 8 for tvs?)
