Ipad air 2

Reviewed in France on May 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

emballage parfait. dommage qu'il n'y ai plus de notice explicative et que l'on doit télécharger sur internet, par-contre, vous devriez prévenir les acheteurs éventuels qu'il faut impérativement acheter, avec, un adaptateur UK 3 broches pour pouvoir recharger l'Ipad car sans cela la fiche fournis ne rentre pas dans les prises Françaises.

Apple iPad Air 2 - Brilliant - but getting to speak to Apple Support is difficult.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2014

What a brilliant tablet. I've been contemplating getting one of these for the couple of years and just taken the plunge. The quality if the retina display is incredible, the tablet is very light (my wife has the previous generation iPad, also brilliant but the difference in size & weight is very noticeable).

It was easy to set up, only hiccup was in getting through to Apple Support and speaking to someone when I made a set-up mistake. You need to talk to someone when you've got a problem, not struggle with FAQ's that don't tell you what you need to know. The contact numbers on the website are useless, I eventually phoned my local Apple Store who very efficiently put me through to Apple Support in the form of a real person.

As far as the tablet goes, it's brilliant.

iPad Air 2

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2014

In have never owned an iPad before but finally decided to buy one and bought the iPad Air 2 64GB
I was a bit apprehensive initially as I had read some blogs about wireless connection problems with iPad Airs but all I can say is it's been brilliant and I have suffered no problems at all.
I know you pay quite a lot more for Apple products but the quality of the product is superb. It is also very fast when browsing - a lot quicker than my laptop. I can see the laptop will only get used for transferring music and films!
I would recommend getting either the 64GB or 128GB models and not the 16GB model as I think you would struggle with the small amount of memory on the 16GB model.
I would definitely recommend this product.

Beautiful product

Bought this for £425 to upgrade from an old iPad 2, quite expensive but I really think I got what I paid for! I'm absolutely blown away at the performance - the most demanding games run GREAT, and even just navigating is really really smooth! I'm a developer too, so it's nice to now have both low-end and high-end iPads to test on.
The resolution, at 2048x1536 is more than the now standard "1920x1080 full HD", yet the screen size is small enough not to be able to see the individual pixels unless you get up reeeeally close (what they call Retina). Everything just looks so crisp.
64GB was perfect for my needs, not too big or small. I can't really imagine why you'd need anything more unless you store A LOT of music and films on it. Personally I have a lot of games and apps, but also some photos, videos and podcasts and I still have 20GB left.
What else to say? Design is great, screen can be made much brighter or dimmer than iPad 2, buttons feel nice, weight is light. It is very thin though and I would not be taking it anywhere without a good case (the old iPad 2 however is like a brick).

Brilliant but not a lot more brilliant than Air 1

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

I had an iPad Air and after the multi tasking upgrade that came with iOS 9 I decided to take the leap to the air 2. This was also warranted as there was not an upgrade announced in September.

In my opinion the iPad is the best tablet on the market. My 80 year old parents can use one so it is still as accessible as when it originally burst on to the scene. Build quality is as you would expect excellent.

Is it worth an upgrade though?

The finger print sensor is useful but now I have an iPhone 6s it seems slow to activate (although this is more to do with the 6s being lightening quick)

Multi tasking for the apps that support it is brilliant. Having safari and email open at the same time certainly makes you more productive. It won't replace your laptop completely for work/power users but it's a step in the right direction.

It's a bit quicker than an air one but not hugely noticeable.

So if you are not bothered about having the latest and greatest I would stay with the air 1. If you have an older version I think it is worth the upgrade. It would be a five star if the iPad Air one wasn't so good. The one star deduction is because the upgrade doesn't offer enough.

A tip is that the original iPad Air smart case does fit but the camera holes don't match up and it's just marginally too big. If this would bother you then a new case would also be needed.

Great Tablet of the Mac Kind

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

I was always a 'mac' person but of late because of (a) cost and (b) availablility of certain specialised programs I've had to transfer to windows for my main computer, but never really liked it. I've recently dabbled with Kindle OS and Android t6ablets as well but never felt really confident. In the end decided to dig out the piggy bank and go for the iPad. Indefnably why I'm not sure, but in spite of its similarity with the other two tablet OS's the iPad is still quite definitely a Mac! Had it few weeks now but it's only over the christmas break with few spare hours that I've read the manual. I found out some new bits doing that but basically I've done all I needed by instinct and previous Mac experience. My windows desktop PC and Laptop I suspect are going to get used less and less.
n'tI'm really impressed with the screen. At nearly 73 my eyes are all that they used to be but although the screen is less than 10 inches it's so clear I find it better than my HD laptop.
My main hesitation was the inability to increase memory at all, but the icloud is so easy to use that I feel confident in keeping anything 'up in the sky'. Wish I done it ages ago- though I wouldn't have had the air2 which I think is brilliant. Anyone hovering over the decision to buy? I would say, mortgage tha cat if you must to raise the cash,
for you won't regret it.

Spectacular!

Seller:
as always I was very suspicious when looking at an item selling for £70 less than RRP as new. I've spoken to a retailer before about how this works and apparently they buy abroad and so can sell here at a cheaper price. (Sounds odd to me as Apple's foreign prices should be based on the dollar conversion. HOWEVER, when the item arrived there were two tiny scratches on the top, absolutely minuscule. But knowing Apple's strict product fitness testing I think it's possible they sell damaged ones to third parties at a discount.ccertainly cheaper than refurbishing if damage is very minor.
Anyway, this iPad was the real deal.

Product:
Absolutely stunning. So gorgeously thin, shaped and a real beauty, like everything Apple promises to be, both in hardware and software. I've read some comments about the iPad vibrating at high volume, I get that at about 20% of max. Usually I wear headphones anyway but sometimes now I use the speakers. The vibration actually adds another unexpected dimension to the sound (to my surprise) and the speakers are truly to be marvelled at.
The anti glare screen is incredible, vividly coloured and smooth. I haven't got a single complaint about this item.

Just amazing....loving the new iPad

the A8x clearly makes a huge difference in performance and 2gb helps in multitasking a lot.......honestly i stopped using iPads after the is cz with iOS 7 and iOS 8 iPad became pretty much useless as there were lags and stutters everywhere..even doing some normal tasks like splitting up the keyboard and switching from portrait and landscape was sluggish....and that was the main reason i stopped using it but with the iPad air 2 all those problems are history...every thing is silky smooth and works as it is intended to be...the display is really beautiful...i really thought the laminated layers of display was just a gimmick but you have to see it infernos to believe it...i am loving the experience now and honestly i think that i am back to iPad and love it...for those of you who don't like the lag and stutter of the last ten iPad like iPad 4 or even air you should definitely try it out

I never wanted an Apple. but I really enjoy this, its easy to use and a good product.

It is what it is. Light, easy to use, slimline, seems pretty robust in general use. If you want a technical review there will be a good one here somewhere, I just wanted something I could carry around and use easily and this fits the bill. Camera if you need one gives superb quality images - I do better than with my Nikon for taking quick photos on the move, and use is simple for stills or video. Always been a PC user but not having any difficulty swapping to use this, so so far not found any negatives. Yes its a bit of a bind that it uses MAC OS, PC uses Microsoft, Phone uses Android and Kindle uses its own system, but cross platform applications and use is becoming more common so I guess eventually we will get the ability to do everything on all and move between them. If you have the cash and can afford to try it then give it a go, I don't think you will be disappointed, I have been pleasantly surprised.

Not worth upgrade

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have a 2 years old iPad mini and an old HP netbook for complex spread sheets in Excel. I have to take both when I travel. It's good to know the new iPad Air 2 has an excel equivalent so I tried to get this new iPad to replace the two devices.

I'm very disappointed with this product. To start with, the system and 6 essential apps are not up to date. It took me hours to upgrade them. Also iCloud photo does not work, which means I can't see any photo in the new iPad which were taken in my old iPad, and vice versa. After some search and several trial and failures, it finally works but extremely slow. In terms of Excel functionality, neither the new Number app nor Excel app works with my Spread sheets. This is not the experience expected from Apple.

I suppose I expected too much of the combination between Microsoft and Apple's products. They have made good progress to support each other's product in recent years, but it's impossible to replace one over the other. Also iCloud back up sounds good, but the speed is killing, which is probably true to many providers.

Having given the negatives above, I must admit I'm very impressed with the super slim design of iPad Air 2.
