With iPhone 6, Apple Introduced a new version of Space Grey which was lighter than the first Space Grey. Is the space grey used on the iPaf Air 2 the same as the one used on iPhone 6 or is it the same as the 1st gen space grey?
Got a tip for us?

Got SG on my current Air so have just bought a gold version today.
Looks good, but I'm struggling to see any real difference between the two Airs except the old one has a slightly softer white, preferable actually. Early days but I need to do some in depth comparisons tomorrow to decide whether to keep the new one.

No the air 2 is not lighter.
Space grey is darker like the iPad Air 1. Only the iphone has the lighter colour.

In this video he compares the backs of the Air 1 and Air 2 and the 2 is definitely lighter.

We seem to be getting conflicting answers.
Be assured I have both the air 1 and 2 and it's the same.
I recall reading that it's the new grey
Darker = iPhone 5 "scuffgate"
----------
From the specs iPad Air 2 is about 8% lighter than the Air 1. So it's lighter, but not really noticeable I guess.

I think the gold on the 6/6+ is really nice.

Agreed, the gold is very nice.
So, I have a Space Grey 6+, and if I were to get a Space Grey Air 1, it will look different?
That's dumb.
That's dumb.
I have a 6 plus and Air 2; they're the same space gray on the back. I see that bums other people out, but not me; I prefer this lighter shade.
My iPad Air 2 (top left) is the same color as my iPhone 6 (bottom right) and both are most definitely lighter than my iPad Air (top right) and my iPhone 5s (bottom left).

Very cool
Hopefully they go lighter until it matches silver colour with the white version.
Is the new iPad mini 3 the same as the new iPad Air 2 colour too?
The difference between the Space Greys now is nothing compared to what the Space Grey Apple Watch Sport looks like. It's basically black.
