Title: Review: iPad Air 2 is the best tablet ever (until next year) Post by: HCK on November 13, 2014, 03:00:25 am Review: iPad Air 2 is the best tablet ever (until next year)
<article> <section class="page"> <p>It’s a little thinner. It’s a little lighter. It’s a whole lot faster. All of this makes the iPad Air 2 (http://www.apple.com/ipad-air-2/) both more of the same and better than ever.</p><p>The form-factor didn’t change since last year’s redesign, but even though the iPad Air 2 is slimmer than its predecessor, Apple didn’t sacrifice battery life. The company claims up to 10 hours using Wi-Fi, and in three battery rundown tests I averaged 10 hours and 14 minutes of continuously watching a 720p video.</p><p>The camera is good enough that you might actually use it. Oh, and Touch ID gives it parity with the iPhone lineup, as well as enabling online-only Apple Pay—at least for now. (Don’t forget, iFixit found an NFC chip (http://www.macworld.com/article/2838792/ipad-air-2-teardown-reveals-mystery-nfc-chip.html) tucked inside. Apple wouldn’t put one in for nothing, right?)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2846462/review-ipad-air-2-is-the-best-tablet-ever-until-next-year.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Review: iPad Air 2 is the best tablet ever (until next year) (http://www.macworld.com/article/2846462/review-ipad-air-2-is-the-best-tablet-ever-until-next-year.html#tk.rss_all) |
