Description

The iPad Air 2 is technically Apple's sixth generation iPad, and the second to carry the 'Air' moniker. It's slightly thinner than the original Air, but differs little in appearance. The main changes are under the hood: the tablet runs on iOS 8 and is powered by Apple's A8X chip, and it gets a higher-resolution 8-megapixel camera.

Great!
Phone owned for more than a year

It's a very good device. It's fast moving all the apps, and it has got a very good display. Also, the price is very important, but nowadays it is not expensive, so if you want an iPad, you should buy it!

really a great tablet. the battery life is awesome and its very powerful machine. I had opened nearly 15 apps in background and they switch very fast without reloading and get nearly 5 days of usage with nearly 2 hours of web browsing everyday, watching some you tube videos, playing games, reading books etc.
