Thankfully, you can now lock rotation and mute in the Control Center, whch you pull up by swiping from the bottom of the screen. The iPad Mini 3 still has one, but in the Air 2, it’s vanished in Apple’s attempt to liposuction nanometers.

This switch was a helpful quick toggle for the screen and sounds, and something few Android or Windows devices offered. With a heavy heart, we say goodbye to the Mute/Rotation switch, which has been a staple of all iPhones and iPads since the dawn of iOS. Apple claims it has kept its standard 10-hour battery life (and this appears to be the case), but we have lost a few things. With great thinness…Īs Peter Parker would say if he were a piece of consumer electronics, with great thinness comes great sacrifice. It’s beautiful and has some of the deepest blacks (that means black that looks black, not just dark gray) we’ve seen on LCD. Thanks to the svelte new look, the high-resolution LCD screen looks more like a bright, colorful, moving magazine. Holding the iPad Air 2 is so pleasant that it’s making us wonder why we loved iPad Mini-sized tablets more. It has fit the most components into the thinnest space imaginable. If you thought the 2013 iPad Air felt a little “airy” inside, you were right: The LCD screen was a distance from the glass and there was actual space inside its shell. The new iPad is a quarter-inch thin and just 15 ounces. This year, Apple has shed its water weight. Last year’s Air shed about an inch off its waist and weighed in at a single pound, losing a quarter of its beer belly.
The iPad Air 2 (or iPad 6, if you’re counting) finally delivers on the promise of an air-thin tablet. If the first four iPads did P90X, they’d look like the iPad Air 2. If they did P90X, they’d look like the iPad Air 2. If the first four iPads went on Weight Watchers, they’d look like the iPad Air.

To know why we like the iPad Air 2 so much, read on. But thanks to the $400 iPad Air, there are options for those hoping to save money. The only area Apple can really be bested in is price, with the iPad starting at $500 and rising rapidly into the stratosphere. No matter what your priorities when shopping for a new tablet this year - hardware design, comfort, interface, ease of use, app selection, or camera quality - the iPad Air 2 kicks more ass than any other tablet. The iPad Air 2 is the alpha male of slates. Android or Windows lovers may denounce Apple’s iPhones for a bunch of reasons, and plenty of them are valid, but when it comes to tablets, it’s hard to fault the king. It’s thinner, faster, comes in gold, reads your fingerprints … and it’s an iPad.
