Customer Ratings & Reviews

The tablet is extremely fast and the new multi-tasking features included with iOS 9 make it even better. The display is stunning and it is very light. The only issue I had is I got the 16GB originally, but you'll definitely want to upgrade to the 64GB. You don't want to be limited to storage capabilities. You won't be let down!

Love this iPad Air 2! This is a great size and weight for a tablet. It has an excellent battery life. Although if you plan on storing music, pics or downloading a lot of apps I would recommend going with the 64 or 128gb version. Works great for what i use it for.

What more can I say. This iPad is great perfect size , weight and is very slim . I feel as if the touch screen response should be a lot more sensitive . And the iPad should initially offer way more GB than 8,16,32,64. I would appreciate font and text options for easier viewing ... but can't complain too much because the camera on this bad boy is INSANE! 4 stars!

I purchased 2 of these items. One for my 12 year old son and one for my 14 year old daughter. They were being upgraded from IPAd 2s. This is an excellent tablet. It has a more vivid screen, lighter, and much thinner than the IPAd 2. So far, battery life is excellent as well. The kids love it. My only regret is not purchasing the 32 gb or 64 gb version. The Apps take up a lot of space. Overall, excellent tablet.

I've had the iPad Air 2 for two months now. As a college student, I use it for web browsing, streaming videos, reading/notes, and light games. Performance for me has been great with no stutters. Friends like to point out how lightweight it is, and the screen feels like the perfect size for any activity. Syncing with my iPhone/iCloud has been easy, and AirDrop has been useful for quickly sharing anything with other Apple devices. I have not yet installed iOS10. This iPad is expensive, however, and others with my level of usage would probably be just as satisfied with a different tablet (I decided to splurge). Also, there is no expandable storage. This made me hesitant at first, but I decided 16GB should be enough for my usage.

Feel good going into the Air2. They always have the next one coming so... You just have to know there will be an Air 3 as soon as you get the Air 2 out of the box. But the tablet is fast light and I prefer it over my wife's iPad Pro by far. The Pro is amazing but it's not nearly as portable and low profile. Tablet for me was a way leave the laptop in the car, room, office (not too far away) and manage less gear away from the desk. Air 2 does that very well. Great for minor edits and presenting content, emails, web activity etc. Not so great for creating the slides, documents, or whatever content...do that on a pc. Only con is on the 16GB version. You fill it up Day 1 just with apps. Even with all my content in iCloud I have to juggle which apps I have installed for the day and am constantly battling the storage issue. It really isn't fair to even sell the 16gb model because it barely has the capacity to sustain itself.... Let alone anything you add to it. They should have baselined the Air 2 at 32GB. Pay the extra hundred bucks and get the 64Gb... Trust me.

So I needed an additional ipad for the kids and didn't need the full blown model. While the 16GB may be small for some people it is plenty of room for the kids to use. Air 2 seems like a big upgrade from our other iPad Air. While both are light the Air 2 seems to run smoother and faster. It also appears to have a slightly stronger WIFI signal in the house especially when they are side by side.

I love my iPad Air 2! I also have a MacBook Air, but the iPad is much lighter weight and is set up to look just like my iPhone. Everything syncs which is very helpful to go from my laptop at home to my iPad, which I can take with me everywhere. For what I use it for the 16 GB is enough, but many people need the 64 GB for pictures and videos. I love the weight and the ease of use.

I bought this iPad in December of 2015 and I have not had any problems with it thus far. It's a great size and Best Buy had the better deal on this model from all the other stores I looked into at the time. I would highly recommend getting a case for it because the back can get scratched up pretty easily. In terms of thinking about what tablet is best for you, the main reason I got the iPad is because I have a MacBook and an iPhone so it was really just easier for me to sync all of my information on it with iCloud. For those of you with an iPhone, you can receive texts, calls, and FaceTime on your iPad if you sync it to your iCloud, which is a really nice feature. Now, with that being said, if you don't really have any other apple products, I would recommend looking into a tablet that has USB ports and more storage than 16GB. I am really disappointed that Apple has not added any ports aside from a speaker Jack to its iPad models because that would almost eliminate the need for a computer! However, if that's not something you'd think you'd use a lot, then yes, I would recommend this model.

I received this as a birthday gift to replace my original 1st generation iPad which was limited to ios5. This one is much faster and lighter. I am now using it on a regular basis to web surf and do e-mail which I used to do on my macbook air. I also use it for reading books on overdrive. If I was making the selection myself, I would have opted for the 64GB model. Since I don't use a lot of apps and I have a large amount of icloud storage, the 16 GB is working fine.

It is light, fast and has very good screen. My only complain is the lack of SD storage.

I was tempted by this Air 2 16GB, which is the newest model of the full-size iPad and available since late 2014. After a few weeks' use, with the new and bloated iOS software version 8, I can say that 16GB iPads are inadequate for any experienced user with moderate storage requirements. This will be traded for bigger memory. Too bad Apple dropped the 32GB size, which was a sweet value of price/storage. We are clearly sold on iPads, and our family also has an Air 1, as well as a Mini 2 (retina) and an iPad 4 with Retina display. Compared to the crop of typical Android tablets, we find the Apple construction quality and design to be superior. Android apps seem sloppy and some are amateurish, even the screen layout seems undisciplined. Apple iOS seems tighter and better integrated, but it does occasionally crash the mail and calendar apps. The Apple warranty is also better, and the company seems happy to satisfy reasonable customer problems.

Have been using an iPad 2nd Gen since time in memoria, but thanks to Best Buy's recent trade-in program I was able to purchase the Air2. W O W !!!! Lighter, faster, HD screen, but darny darn darn I am already running out of space! I think 64Gb should be the norm when getting tablets like this .. I failed on that.

This is my first iPad/tablet and I'm very pleased with it! Great picture quality, fast, easy to use (only Apple products I own are iPods, no Apple computer or iPhone). I use it for planning and note taking, Netflix, Pandora, social media, and several misc apps/games. I am not storing a lot of songs, photos, or videos so the 16gb works for me. Keep in mind that with the preloaded apps, you're actually getting 11.9 gb. I have about 40 apps total and just under 8gb of storage left. Great choice if you want something travel friendly, light, for casual use. I didn't want to spend too much on a tablet, so I chose this size. 64gb would have been $100 more...might have been worth it, but I can make this work since I have a computer to store photos, videos, and other files. Final note: absolutely buy some time of protective case

Made an awesome gift for my wife since our 4 year old always takes her old iPad

The iPad Air 2 is a fantastic device. The size of 16GB is small for more advanced users who are looking for space to hold a lot of games and other data. If you are looking at storing photos and having a lot of games as opposed to simple internet browsing, Facebook, or email, consider going with the next size up in storage. The design is sleek and looks amazing. Great buy!

Nice and wonderful. Easy to use. Love it. But I must mention that the IOS upgrade is ridiculously eating up the space. Could Apple work with that? Soon 16 GB would not be enough for anything since it all be the IOS data. Thanks.

I am very happy with my new ipad air2. Perfect size screen, it is thin and light, beautiful display. If you are using it around the house it should be perfect. My only issue is they should not even sell a 16 GB. With the OS on it and essential apps you're left with 8 GB if you're lucky. That is like two hd movies at best. Buy it but go with the 64 GB.

iPad Air 2, 16 GB review: Definitely a sweet media consumer -thin, light, great picture, infamously simple iOS. Anti-reflective screen still reflects more than I'd like and it does appear to be dimmer than the previous model. Still, it is usable outside if you avoid having the screen in direct sunlight. 16 GB is fine for my purpose as I am not using this for anything more than web browsing, weather, and 2 other apps. If you want this to entertain you with games, music, etc., then do yourself a favor and get one with more storage.

So I was looking for a tablet to first use to study and read my books. Because let's face it, carrying around thick textbooks can get pretty tiring and sore on the shoulders over time. This IPad does the trick, turned a 4000 page textbook to one tablet which I loved. It's easy to carry around, use and the battery life on this is pretty long. I'm actually surprised how much juice I can get out of it with all the activities I do (reading, videos, minor iMovie video creation, social media). The only thing is if you're storing videos or lots of photos 16gb just isn't enough. I'm a video producer so just creating simple 15sec Instagram iMovie videos can get pretty crowded. However I wouldn't really recommend this for task like that. Overall it's a great tablet for daily needs and task. But would definitely recommend increasing the size of you want to store more stuff and apps on there
