43 Comments on iPad Air vs iPad Air 2: Which iPad Air should you buy?

  1. I have the the iPad Air and compared it with the 2, the truth is you can
    hardly tell the difference. 

  2. A lot of Apps run better on the IPad Air 2, is it a huge upgrade ? Some say
    yes because it’s 2gb of ram. So a lot of everything you do is actually
    smoother.

    • It’s not a huge upgrade. I wouldn’t upgrade but if you were going to die
      without split screen (50/50 view) then you may need to upgrade.

      After having the Air 2 for some time I can see why ppl say it isn’t that
      big of an upgrade. I can say this all those little things that bugged me
      about the first Air aren’t there tho. And Gaming is a lot better, I can say
      that. But that’s the only real difference to me, just gaming really.

    • I guess so. Less reflective, better cameras, faster CPU, Option for gold
      colour. Split screen multitasking. I don’t think I’ll upgrade. I’m happy
      with my First generation iPad Air.

    • A bunch of the little things like the gold color which I got, the less
      reflective screen (it still sucks outside in day light IMO) faster CPU is a
      bigger perk tho, but the split screen I hardly ever even use. But it’s cool
      to have. The Cameras are good for a tablet I’d say. But I thought the first
      gen was good. I’m really not into the locked down OS and all that. Apple is
      kinda sketchy when it comes to the App Store and iTunes. I’d say
      considering the iPad Pro is gonna be a 50/50 deal some will love it some
      will say it didn’t live up to the hype. But I kinda feel like yeah it’s a
      good upgrade but only for some things. Either way I’m cool if I had this or
      that one. But the gaming experience on a iPad Air 2 is really good. Don’t
      believe me ? Load up two games, 2k15 or 16 and AfterPulse. I bet you 2k
      lags like all get out even on the first gen, it doesn’t on the Air 2. And
      I’m sure AfterPulse will lag like crazy because it kinda does here and
      there on the Air 2. But that’s just my gaming bit. When After Pulse comes
      to the Note Tabs it’ll best the Air 1,2 if you ask me.

  3. With iOS9, it makes it more worth it to get the Air2 since the Air1 will
    miss out on some useful features such as split screen multitasking.

    • +Alex Nope My IPad Air 1 Has Those Things But My IPad Has Just Given Up As
      The Headphone Jack And Home Button Don’t Work And the screen popped out, so
      It Clicks Random Things On My Screen Without Me Touching So I Am Getting
      The IPad Air 2 On Friday

  4. well i bought an ipad air 2 couple of months ago. but when you apply
    pressure on the ipad air 2 screen, the light of the image seems to be
    distort for a little, maybe because this is inevitable for a thinner ipad
    so the screen quality is slightly lower. and this situation did not happen
    to my friend’s ipad air 1. Sad.

  5. Why do people want smaller Ipads the whole point of a Ipad is to do things
    with you like a computer expect smaller and easier to bring with you and
    yes it weighs less but its not as big.

  6. Atm you can get air 1 32gb for £297 while air 2 16gb is £323 and 64gb is
    £410, if you want to have a safe amount of memory you’d want the 32gb air 1
    or 64gb air 2 (but I’d never need the extra 32gb of 32 vs 64), so I’d have
    to pay £110 more just for the 1->2 upgrade, which for me wasn’t worth it so
    I got the air 1
