2014 Apple iPad Air 2 (9.7-inch, Wi-Fi, 16GB) - Space Gray (Renewed)

Product Information

The battery life of this iPad Air 2 model is reportedly 10 hours "surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music." The new iCloud shared photo stream is also a really handy way of sharing photos between an iPhone and an iPad - simply have both devices logged into the same iCloud account, favorite something on one and it will instantly appear on the other. The first-generation iPad Pro replaced the iPad Air 2 as the flagship iPad model, with the 9.7 inch version releasing March 31, 2016, and the Air 2 being relegated as the mid-range iPad model. But I remember wondering how that could be topped, whether Apple would just give it a tiny push and call it all-new (like it did with the iPad mini 3, lest we forget).

Apple decided to go for design over battery life with the iPad Air 2, and while this is a bugbear of mine when it comes smartphones I don't mind it here, it's less of a hindrance in a tablet. So, in the face of that competition - and the other slates that have launched since the Air 2 - is the iPad Air 2 still worth buying?

I really like the improved screen, and there will probably be a few smug faces over in South Korea looking at the fact colors seem more vibrant on the new iPad Air 2, rather than focusing on natural hues. If you have the budget, though, you’re better off getting an iPad Pro 9.7in in the long run. For your extra money, you’ll get a better screen, much faster (and so future-proofed) device, and support for the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. So buy the new iPad if… The iPad Air 2 is the second-generation iPad Air tablet computer designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced on October 16, 2014, alongside the iPad Mini 3, both of which were released on October 22, 2014. The iPad Air 2 is thinner, lighter and faster than its predecessor, the first-generation iPad Air, and features Touch ID with the height, width and screen size the same as the iPad Air. And while both slates run iOS 12, the iPad 9.7 is sure to be supported with updates for a lot longer than the iPad Air 2.And yes, you do get two cameras: one front-facing, for video-chat apps, and a rear one for taking pictures. The latter is an 8-megapixel camera that’s good enough for everyday use in daylight but suffers badly in low light. The software includes the ability to shoot panoramas, a 10fps burst mode, and of course 1080p video. iPad Air 2 review: Software The iPad Air 2 (held vertically) is 9.4 inches tall, 6.6 inches wide, and 0.24 of an inch deep (240 mm x 169.5 mm x 6.1 mm). Does the iPad Air 2's design warrant the high price tag? Yes, more than any other tablet on the market. It brings a premium build, quality finish, great looks and while it doesn't need to be this thin, the structure doesn't seem to have had an effect on the actual performance of the tablet, and does add something in the palm. Apple doesn't release battery size figures, but reportedly this one is 7,340mAh, which is about what we'd expect, and for most people the battery on the tablet, even if browsing the web or using the tablet as a laptop replacement, is pretty good indeed. Originally you got to choose between16GB, 64GB and 128GB models, but Apple has since ditched the first two and replaced them with a 32GB iPad Air 2. Of course, even more recently it has ditched the Air 2 entirely, so you'll be relying on third-party retailers to get it in any capacity.

Update: Apple has announced that iPadOS 15 , the newest version of its iPad-dedicated operating system, will work on the second-gen iPad Air, so you'll get features like seamless multitasking, an app library and home screen widgets that can be placed anywhere. iPad Air 2 price There's a whole lot of power here too and a gorgeous 10.1-inch 2560 x 1600 display, which beats the iPad Air 2 for pixel density. Yet despite all this tech it's still got a heft battery life.I don't mind the idea of using this for time lapse, as the larger screen and longer battery are actually pretty handy for setting up a shot - but why you'd have a tablet at a beautiful landscape which might require a panorama is beyond me. Group shots, maybe.
