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

Product Information

Still, it feels like there should be a danger that this tablet is too fragile, although it hasn't seemed to be in testing. Apple promised big upgrades, but this is so huge that I have to wonder if there's some kind of optimization here - although the faster speed under the finger and smooth graphics (Zen Garden, for instance, runs much more smoothly on the Air 2 than the iPhone 6 Plus) show the improvements are evident in normal use too.

It does lack the support for some features though such as Memoji Stickers, Apple's ARKit based applications and support for Sidecar in macOS Catalina, due to it having the Apple A8X Processor. The screen is still as hungry as ever before, as the battery test was pretty power-sucking compared to its rivals. The iPad Air 2 may not be the flagship iPad now, but it still compares well with other tablets, both iPad, Android and Windows. I wondered if Apple might have shaved some weight off, added some bits to the camera, shoved an upgraded processor in there (or at least matched that of the iPhone 6) - but that seemed like a very middling upgrade.The included Touch ID sensor allows the user to pay for items online without needing to enter the user's card details. It has stronger multitasking functionality to rival iOS and it keeps Samsung ahead of other Android tablets, even if this update is as small as the form factor is thin. The faster specs keep this tablet running smoothly, while 4K video and the choice of a 256GB iPad make for an excellent combination.

looks, sounds and performs better than the iPad Air 2 in every way, though you have to look a little closer to realize any of these changes on the outside. The big change here appears to be to the battery life - it's no coincidence that the graphical capabilities of the Air 2 are 2. However, although Android has made great strides, it’s still second best to iOS as a tablet operating system. IPS LED-backlit 2048 by 1536 display (264 ppi) that is "fully laminated" (so there no longer is a gap between the glass and the LCD).

It's got all the same iOS 12 upgrades too, so while you don't get slow motion video, a lot of other treats will appear.

It's a great device for a marathon movie session thanks to being light with a less reflective screen and improved color and contrast ratios. Trade-in value may be applied towards qualifying new device purchase or added to an Apple Gift Card. I've seen people taking pictures of a bride walking down the aisle with an iPad mini, and missed a big goal at a football match because someone thought it the right time to try and take a picture of themselves on a tablet.But anyway - you can look at the rest of that yourselves in the dedicated review - and iOS 8 works superbly on the iPad Air 2 and the update to iOS 9 improves things even further.
