    Replaced an iPad Air 4

    Fits in the magnetic cover from my old Air 4, but unfortunately will not work with my Apple Pencil 2. Everything runs fast and it supports the newer Apple Intelligence AI features. Having the camera on top in landscape mode makes more sense than the older iPads with the camera on top in portrait mode. Having base storage of 128GB instead of 64GB is a plus as well.

    Just what the doctor ordered. This was number one on my 15 year old daughter’s Christmas list. She received it on Christmas Day and has not stopped bragging about the great features, ease of use and compliments she still receives from her peers. She absolutely loves it and said it’s the best one yet. Kudos BB for making this purchase so effortless

    Good enough but have screen frozen issues

    Had to wait for inventory to become available to ship. Finally got it 10 days ago. I wish I would have waited another week before purchasing it because then Apply announced the 11Gen 128GB which is the right memory size I want. At the time of purchase 10Gen 256GB was only $70 cheaper than the Air6. Since Air6 is 2+ years newer, with a more powerful chip, I decided to get the Air instead, despite I dont use magic keyboard / pencil so is like paying for extra features that I dont need. However at only $70 higher Air6 is a better value. The Air6 of course is good but it already has a few glitches that surprise me. I already experienced a screen freeze when trying to add another email to the iCloud account. The pop up just froze, would not let me add or cancel. I had to use the power button to get out then returned to set up, and was relieve to see the pop up disappeared. In fact before submitting this review I had yet another screen freeze in the Sign In and Security category of the Setting. It once again froze in that area, would not allow navigating to any category in the setting! Had to do a forced reboot by pressing power button and volume bottom together to induce the power off function. Then reboot the device to get out of the locked up jail! Later I googled this issue, apparently it is a common issue on the Air because google Germini gave me the exact steps to get out of the jam. Frankly I am rather disappointed by this glitch that apparently Apple is aware of it but never fixes it. So the users have to resort to forced reboot to get out of the jam. The iPad 10 Gen have not had such issue for its first 2 years of life, while this Air 6 is a brand new buy, less than 12 months old from its initial launch. Very disappointed. Also it seems to often return to home screen by no apparent reasons despite I am actively using it, as in viewing a website. I dont know what causes such. On top of that the screen gets DIRTY Very Very easily, much more so than my old iPad. I am not sure it is because the Air has no screen protector this moment because my Amazon order just arrived yesterday while the old iPad has a screen protector. It is rather annoying to have to clean the screen very often, else you can see the traces of dirty mark on the white background of a webpage. Overall I feel the Air6 is a good product but it is not great, for a light user. It should be great for those heavily into using the pencil / magic keyboard. However, for a light user the new 11 Gen 128GB is a Much Better Value for the money at $349 vs the Air6 at $499 or the Air7 at $599. I just hope this Air6 battery would last for 4 years like my prev iPads did until the batteries dying (easily heat up, causing the chip slows down or stops functioning completely until the iPad cools down.) That said, I would still recommend this to a friend but I strongly feel for users who dont need the magic keyboard / pencil, then the current 11 Gen 128GB at $349 is a much better value.

    Just snagged an iPad Air M2 (open box!) and I'm blown away. The performance is lightning-fast, handling multitasking with ease. The M2 chip truly shines. Plus, going the open box route saved me a significant amount, making it an incredible value. If you're looking for a powerful and versatile tablet, this is it!

    Easy to set up, very light and slim design. The Best Buy worker was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping us decide whether we should get this iPad or wait for the next generation. This iPad was a great option for our streaming and word document generation needs and we were able to get it on sale
