Apple IPad Air 2 16GB WiFi + Cellular Review

Apple iPad Air 2 16GB WiFi + Cellular is a new tablet designed by Apple which aims to bring together all the new technologies developed by the company in order to create a worthwhile product.

Considering this is the Cellular version of the iPad, you should know exactly what the advantages of it are: they premiered when the iPhone 6 was launched last month and they bring support for up to 20 LTE bands. While using a Cellular version of the device, users are able to browse the Internet while enjoying speeds of up to 150Mbps, as long as their carrier provides the speed.

Another thing that should be noted about the Cellular version is that Apple SIM cards come pre-installed, so that you can directly choose out of a few carriers and activate services immediately.

The Apple iPad Air 2 16GB WiFi + Cellular is the thinnest iPad model up to date, with a depth of only 6.1 mm, making it much more easy to use on a daily basis. The redesign allows it to feel better, although it weighs 444g. People who are annoyed by the glare effect should know that the new iPad Air 2 is able to reduce screen glare with up to 56%. Although it’s not perfect at all times, it’s a massive improvement which goes hand in hand with the new screen design that is now composed out of a single layer.

The latest iPad Air device is also more powerful than its predecessors. The tablet does not rely on the iPhone’s 6 CPU and it comes with a custom A8X one, benefitting from three instead of two cores. The new, powerful processor has been designed not to simply top up benchmark leaderboards, but also to provide support for a new generation of iOS apps that will require more computing power.

The lifetime of the battery has a span of around 10 hours after a single charge, although the battery itself has been shrunk in comparison to the original iPad Air. The camera, which has always been a negative aspect of the iPad tablets, now receives a well-deserved upgrade so that you can make use of the 8MP rear sensor which is already used in iPhone 5. 1080p video shot at 30fps is now a possibility, together with HDR and face-detection features. The front camera has a simpler, 1.2MP sensor, which is still able to record 720p video.

Apple iPad Air 2 16GB WiFi + Cellular comes packed with 16GB of internal memory, which should be enough not just for apps, but also for songs and movies. Aside from that, the second iteration of the iPad Air is also the first one two feature not one, but two microphones, so that noise cancellation is achieved with ease. The iPad Air 2 also features two new sensors, the Touch ID one, also featured in the iPad Mini 3, and the barometer sensor, which is an all-time premiere for this line of tablets.
