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!

This tablet is well, a very very good tablet. It's light, fast and has a nice screen. It has a premium feel, and it's easy to use everyday. The multitasking feature is my favourite because it's so easy to use! I would definitely recommend the iPad air 2 to anybody in search for a good tablet.

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.
