Review: iPad 2 Air even thinner and faster – NU.nl

The first iPad Air stood out for its super thin housing and limited borders around the screen. The tablet was therefore extremely compact for a model with a screen of 9.7 inches.

With the iPad Air 2, from 499 Euro, Apple builds upon that success. Most striking is that the tablet is even thinner. With a thickness of 6.1 millimeters (1.4 millimeter less than its predecessor) Apple even claims to have the thinnest tablet ever made.



Touch ID

In appearance Apple has little changed with the Air 2. One of the only notable change is the lack of sound switch, which previously occupied above the volume buttons.

Under the Touch screen is the fingerprint ID scanner Apple added. Just like on the iPhone that works well and makes it to unlock the screen something simpler.

Without a doubt remains the iPad Air 2 one of the most stylish tablets obtainable. On the Android Market actually knows only the Xperia Z2 Tablet Sony to compete in design.

Screen and performance

Also, the screen is again excellent. The resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels is still fine and the color reproduction is accurate. However, many other tablets have such good screens nowadays, so the iPad Air 2 distinguishes itself in this area are less clear.

In terms of performance does Apple feel absolutely no need to worry for the time being over the competition. In benchmark tests the iPad 2 Air ridiculous scores much higher than any other tablet we tested earlier. In particular, the graphics are very impressive thanks to the A8X chip.

It should also be considered to be the only real question is whether apps and games from the App Store will soon make real use of the power of Air iPad 2. App developers can not make their apps inaccessible to older devices – provided they still run iOS 8 – so they have as yet take into account the slower hardware that many people

Also. is the battery life slightly deteriorated by making the tablet thinner. During a test in which we play a home-recorded video on a loop until the battery is empty, holds the iPad Air 2 7 hours and 15 minutes. The first iPad Air is the same test 36 minutes (8 percent) longer.



Software

Apples iOS software is an 8 piece opener made, but major changes in tablet field are missing again. It is striking to the year that Apple remains a kind of supercharged version of the iPhone software run on the iPad, without having to add features that cater specifically for the larger screen.

So it is still impossible to to place widgets on the home screen. After will unlock the iPad you keep to a bare list apps look.

There are some widgets added to the notification screen, but the average iPad user, there will probably come less frequently than the average iPhone user. You will indeed probably no text messages, Whatsappjes and other messages on your tablet.



Camera and sound

camera on the back of the iPad 2 Air has been upgraded and is now 8 megapixel photos. The quality is remarkably good and has the same sharpness near many smartphone cameras. And color The iPhone 6 and recent phones from Sony and Nokia continue to offer better cameras, but for a tablet performs the iPad Air 2 very well.

The video quality is a little disappointing, though it is nice it has become to record slow motion videos as possible. Both in normal and in delayed videos however there is quite a lot of noise, while that is happening at pictures of the iPad 2 will be little Air.



Conclusion

All in all, the iPad Air a great tablet that especially stands out for its incredibly fast chip. The iPad Air was also very fast and the extra speed is added to the second version does not seem to be directly useful. However, the Air 2 more ‘future proof’ than its predecessor.

The compact housing makes the Air 2 a little easier to take and something more temporal harvest. However, this does bring a slightly worse battery life with it. That is also the only real downside to the Air 2, though the battery performance is still far from bad.

The iPad Air 2 is ideally suited for the demanding tablet user who would now be sure he can play all games still flowing over two years. For the rest the previous iPad Air, which is now in the shop for 399 euros, is still a good choice.

4.5 star

We also tested the iPad Mini 3, which has remained largely similar to its predecessor. In contrast to the iPhone Air 2 smaller tablet had no new chip this year.

Air Apple iPad 2 Review – Future proof – Tweakers

Overall

The iPad 2 Air has a very thin and light body, which is fine to hold. However, the difference with the first air is not great. More interesting is the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which you can use to log in and with which you can do. Payments in the future The major innovations have however searched on hardware level. Namely Air iPad 2 includes a new processor that is considerably faster than the first iPad Air; he has more memory and a beautiful screen with reduced reflections. This makes the Air 2 better and especially a piece of the future tighter than its predecessor. Bummer, we find that the base model still has only 16GB of storage memory, and the battery life is slightly less than its predecessor. The old Air with its new price of 399 euros otherwise a great buy for people who are not necessarily the very latest want.

Pros

  • thin and light body
  • Powerful hardware
  • Good screen
  • Touch ID scanner

Cons

  • Standard Model has only 16GB
  • Battery life is less than predecessor

Verdict

Tweakers says: very good!

Price for publication: € 499, –

Sometimes is central to a product to the outside and sometimes the inside. When Apple for example, introduced the iPad Air last year, the major innovation was clearly the much thinner and lighter casing, although the performance had passed. Well in advance

This year’s edition, the iPad Air 2 to inside. The tablet is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, and that is certainly welcome, and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner is a nice addition, but the big changes are found in the form of Apple’s new A8X-soc under the hood. This is in all respects an improvement on the A7 chip from the first iPad Air, but he also put the newly hatched A8 chip from the new iPhones at substantial disadvantage.

In this review we will Of course in the improved housing, Touch ID and the new version of iOS. In addition, we provide detailed information on what’s different about the A8X-soc and thus what Apple has in mind.

Photographs of that one vacation

Storage and backup

those pictures

Before we shore stabbing with all sorts of tips to get as many photos on your iPad get a little moment of reflection. For it is good to be aware of the fact that pictures can take quite some space. Consuming consciously Now we will see in this course will also discuss how you can reduce that space but still it is good to realize that if you really want on your iPad thousands of photos going to put that only useful if you have an iPad who also the space has (so no entry model with 16 GB, because you want to still be able to install apps). It is also wise to make sure that you have elsewhere have a backup of your photos. After all, if your iPad is broken, stolen or you lose it, you would lose all your photos and do not want to run that risk

Your iPad is perfect for storing photos, but remember to storage.

iCloud

By far the easiest way to get your iPad to get photos from your desktop PC and iPhone is using iCloud. If you enable iCloud on both your iPhone, iPad, are photos you automatically put your iPad on your iPhone. Do you have a Mac and log it in iCloud with the same Apple ID? Then automatically put your iPad. You from your camera import them into iPhoto

Limit of storage is not there, but a disadvantage is that the photos are kept for 30 days or only the last 1000 (whichever limit you reach first). So you should still move the photos themselves to a permanent folder on your iPad when you want them. Available for longer than this period Of course, this only works if you have multiple Apple devices.

iCloud helps you to transfer photos to your iPad without you there to have to think.

Other cloud services

If you only have an iPad and no other Apple devices or find the limitations of the automatic iCloud sync uncomfortable, then you can consider to use for transferring photos. other cloud services It does not matter which cloud service you use, the principle is the same everywhere. First you install the app (eg Dropbox) on your desktop and on your iPad and possibly a smart phone where your photos it shoots.

Then you copy photos from your hard drive / photo card or any other source you use to a folder that you created in the cloud service. now have your pictures anytime and anywhere, even on your iPad, without taking up storage. disadvantage is of course that you need internet when you want to access.

pictures iCloud too limited, please use a different cloud service, which saves you storage too.

NAS

Another option that saves storage space, the use of a NAS. NAS stands for Network Attached Storage and literally means that you have somewhere storage that you can access within the network. (And with some settings beyond) are a good example of the NAS from Synology.

For this is also an app for the iPad are available so you can show. transfer photos from your NAS directly to your iPad Again, note that you need internet to view the photos.

A NAS is a convenient way to store images externally and yet always on your iPad to have long as you have internet access.

iPad Mini should boost iPad sales – Tablets Magazine

Apple verlaagt the price of the iPad Mini and you hope to lure … Where you go away with a more expensive iPad to the store. That’s the idea behind the price cut of the first small iPad.

Apple suffers from a stagnant tablet sales, because not everyone is so often buy a tablet or replace as imagined. Therefore, the company from Cupertino is trying a new strategy. Apple sells the iPad Mini in fact now for $ 249, which vijtig dollar is less than before. Thus, the company enters the cheaper end of the market, what it actually does for the first time. Apple products are always more expensive than the competition; Apple wants this quality and words like premium radiate.

It is also the first time that there are not four, but five different iPads available. But Apple has another plan up his sleeve to sell more. IPads With the low price of the Mini consumer wants to lure to the shops, then go home to let them go with a more expensive iPad again – like the recently announced iPad 2 or iPad Mini Air 3 In addition, Apple has also suffered from de phablet market ; phablets are by now so great that a tablet seems unnecessary. Apples own phablet is available since September.

Apple bases its strategy on the minds of market analysts. That is, they expect people to actually come to the store to look at those cheaper iPad Mini, but are willing to spend more than originally planned. Easily from fifty to one hundred dollars The thought that the sellers have to see about bringing in the customers is: if you do go for a more expensive product (Android tablets are cheaper on average), why do not you just spend a little more for a much newer model with more functions and (somewhat) better specs?

It remains to be seen what this will do. impact worldwide
