The iPad Air 2 is the best product, Apple has ever done.

I almost bought an iPad mini at Costco today, but changed my mind and put it back. I have
an ipad 2. I remembered iPad Air 2 had good reviews, so I bought one at Best Buy on sale. I
had no complaints with my iPad 2, so I'm sure I'll like this one. It was time for an upgrade.

I hope Apple release a iPad Air 3 that fixes the speaker vibration. I would really like to upgrade my iPad this year. I am seriously considering the Surface Pro but don't really need it that big. Will see what happens before I decide.

Me too. This is the thing that is keeping me from buying the Air 2. I know it's not an issue for a lot of people, but I personally find it really bothersome.

Ok lets break this down.

Out of millions and millions of iphone 6+ sold only about 4 in total had bending issues. So that means the build quality is questionable? Ok so i guess if a Mercedes Benz issues a recall on S550 because of faulty whatever then i guess the S550 sucks because it has questionable build quality? I mean come on seriously?

Next

Underpowered and underspecced? How? I have had mine since launch and have had no issues doing whatever tasks I had to do on the phone, no problems doing actually....anything? Underspeeced? based off what? 4 gig of ram shipped on samsung phones? well maybe its cuz theyre os blows. iOS works perfect on my 6+ dont know what your talking about everything is pretty much buttery smooth. and to call it the worst product Apple has made is going pretty far. i can name about 20 other products that are worst than a 6+....you must be delusional.

This.

I've had my 6+ since launch and everything is smooth. Never considered it underpowered or under spec'd. Then again, I have no desire to break the world record of the number of tabs open in safari.

I use a red Smart Cover.

Works well. Neat, light and easy to take off and put on.

The Air 2 is a superb iPad. The four things that are a disappointment are the lack of a mute switch, the vibration from the speakers, the daily soft reboots in iOS 8 and the poor battery life compared to my iPad 2. Perhaps iOS 9 will help with the battery.

The speed is great. Looking forward to split screen.

I have a midnight blue smart cover but I don't use it. Although it's the lightest case I own, it still makes the Air 2 just that little bit too thick.

Weren't previous iPads so smooth when they were released?

I can honestly say that the previous iPads were nice when they first came out. There has been a major evolution for them and by far the air 2 is the standard. Which is probably why there won't be a refresh this fall
 
I never find the sound vibration an issue. The speakers are clear and vibrant. Only when it's setting is louder does it vibrate and even then I still don't have an issue with it. I feel if they try to "fix" the speakers, we'll end up with worse sounding ones.

I agree. The only way to fix it and keep the same form factor of the air 2 is to make the speakers quieter. I love the speakers on the air 2 and I don't find the vibration a problem at all
