Customer Ratings & Reviews

The iPad Air is smaller and so much lighter than the older ones but has the same screen size. Very sharp graphics. I love it.

I upgraded to the iPad Air from the 3rd generation iPad. I traded in my iPad, got a $200.00 gift card, and used it towards the new purchase. If I did a trade-in at Apple they would have given me a lower trade-in value. I shop at Best Buy for the reward points. :) I am very happy with the purchase, the only thing I find hard to find is the case covers for the new iPad Air. Best Buy has some pretty good ones, but I will have to wait. I love how it is lighter then the 3rd generation and it is a little bit smaller which is a plus. Thank you Best Buy

I'm really enjoying the Apple IPad Air. It's an easy an transition from my iPhone to the iPad. It was very easy to set up and download apps. All my iPhone apps and data downloaded easily from the Cloud to my new iPad. It's easy to use and I love the large screen and clarity. The camera takes great photos. I would highly recommend to others.

I've owned older iPads and the iPad Air is the best yet. The picture quality is brighter and it's lightweight....perfect!

I have owned several Apple products, and the iPad is the most distinguished among Apple's line up relative to its competition. The most compelling aspects of this tablet are the beautiful design, and the 10 hour battery life. These are the two features that made me decide to purchase another Apple product irrespective of their business practices which try to squeeze money out of their customers by not supporting devices properly after they are released. After having used this product for over a month now, I can say it is an improvement over my iPad 1. The browser now crashes on the original to the point of making it worthless. My original iPad had 256 MB of RAM which is not enough to load a lot of modern web pages without the browser crashing. That is why I had hoped the 1 GB of RAM in the iPad Air would be sufficient, and it has improved, yet I still find that the browser crashes on occasion. The scroll latency is very subtle, but noticeable to me. It doesn't really impact my usage, but it could create problems for people who game on their iPads. Putting in 2 GB of RAM (which is what I have in my Nexus 4) does not cost that much, and would improve the performance greatly. For a premium product, I expect the best, and Apple has consistently under-delivered on processing hardware which created the same problems all the way back to the iPhone 1 I purchased on launch day.

This iPad Air is smaller then our original iPad. Perfect size. WOW, screen is dynamic. So much faster too! Great product. Ordered online and picked up in store.

Love the ipad. Husband needed his own. We are seniors and love to play games,research things and the ipad is so easy to use. Easy to read and just the right size.

Lighter than I expected. Battery life has not been a problem. I was glad to get a case on it, as there is less to hold.

Only having an iPad 2 to compare to, the difference is amazing. The Air is lighter, better battery life, much faster, and the screen is incredible. I'd say the price is a little over the top, but it is an apple product and I knew that going in... the iPad 2 still sells north of $300. All said, I bought it as a gift for my wife and she loves it. Her friends with older iPads are jealous and planning to upgrade soon.

It has good battery life and it is fast and thin. It has a nice camera and retina display.

My wife has the first generation Ipad so for Christmas she got me the latest one. Wow what a difference, the graphics, the size, the speed it is really a cool unit.

If you're an iOS user you're going to love this new iPad. It's lighter, smaller, faster than the previous iPad 4. If you're a new user entering the iOS ecosystem, you will be satisfied. Great product, aluminuum build, retina display

Perfect tablet for everyday use.. Sleeker and faster than my Ipad2.. Lightning connect is great.. I can use this all day on 1 charge.. For 299 its a steal..

this is my 3rd iPad -- I had a mini before this so it seems a bit heavy in comparison, although it is apparently lighter than the regular full-sized iPad. It's easy to use, easy on the eyesight, and the audio is surprisingly good. I have never had another brand of tablet so I can't compare, but it is user friendly and works well.

The screen is excellent. It doesn't freeze and the battery life is amazing. Almost can use it like a small laptop when combined with a good keyboard folio

this is best tab I have used so far. Awesome clear display.. Apple Store full with gaming and other social and banking apps.. Stable in term of speed and Working

Lite weight, easy to carry on trips, great pictures

I like photos. The Samsung guy tried for 5 minutes trying to match the whiteness of the Apple iPad. could not do it. SOLD on iPad! Also so easy to use.

I wanted an ASUS tablet, but I was going on price, what some coworkers have, my prior experience with ASUS products, and my reluctance to join the legions of Apple followers. My daughter bought an iPad mini with her birthday/inheritance money and wouldn't stay off of it. Within two weeks of her purchase, she talked me into getting an iPad so that we could face time. Plus, she convinced me that as a designer, my customers would be more impressed that I was using an Apple product rather than a competitor copy. Believe it or not, that's what sealed the deal. I bought the iPad Air because it is the latest and greatest in the lineup and therefore is less likely to go out of date sooner like the iPad 2 and others will. I also liked it's thinness and narrower frame along the two long sides. Using the iPad took some getting use to, as I have only ever had Windows and Android products. My daughter had to show me many shortcuts and maneuvers. I still get frustrated with the way Apple products work sometimes and there are many things that Windows and Android does better and more intuitively. But, I have fallen in love with my iPad Air and it goes with me everywhere. When I'm away from home, I tether it to my Galaxy S4 and the internet speed from Verizon is great. There is no need to buy a costly separate data plan. And don't listen to the naysayer mobile phone salespeople trying to sell you a data plan only for your iPad. With 4GLTE you'll be surfing along just fine, although there is some buffering, but nothing near like what you get with 4G. I love the easy portability of my iPad. I have the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard case which doubles as a cover. I hardly ever charge my keyboard. The battery lasts forever. Speaking of batteries, the iPad is very good on battery power. The usual power munchers will eat up the battery life, but not that quickly. I charge my iPad every two or three days and my keyboard maybe once a week. I am writing this review on said keyboard with the iPad propped up and held in place by the magnetic strip. My android phone has a more sensitive touch screen, though. That's one of my biggest peeves with this iPad. You have to touch the screen and hold your finger in place longer than with a product like my Galaxy S4. It's annoying that Apple didn't include a more sensitive touch screen. My daughter and I went out and bought ourselves some 97 cent stylus pens from Target. They work so much better than a finger and are more accurate. BTW, on that keyboard? It's smallish for large hands. I miss keys all the time, because I am use to a full size keyboard, so I have to backspace frequently to retype, unlike on a regular size keyboard. Final words: I have forgotten that I have a laptop.

I started out with the original iPad and upgraded several times. I am really enjoying the iPad Air. It's faster, light weight and I would be lost without it.
