For me, the Air 2 just felt almost too thin and slight when I held it. The Air has been just about perfect and really feels good in my hands.
Got a tip for us?

iPad Air 2 vs Air

Honestly, I had both at the same time for a while and never noticed any difference in weight or thickness. I'm not saying other people don't, but it's a very small increment.
I recently got an Air 2 refurb as I needed a higher capacity and it replaced my Air. I'm super impressed with the upgrade. There is that vibration thing but the iPad speakers are not really my preference for playing music or audio from video.
As the display seems to be almost flush with the bezel it makes dreading far more comfortable on the eyes. That's probably not the best way to describe that but I've noticed such a difference that the Kindle probably won't be coming with me on my next flight.
IOS 9 on the Air 2 is massive. That alone is enough reason to opt for the Air 2.

...true, and the exact and only reason I sold my LNIB Air to buy an Air 2. Totally happy with it and iOS 9 PB1 is running extremely well on the Air 2 (shocking as that is).
