iPad Air review

iPad Air is a device that combines Apple's desire to keep things easier, simpler and better. Official figures shows that the iPad Air is 43% thinner and 28 % lighter than its predecessor. The new generation of popular tablet is far more attractive compared to the previous one. The smooth surface of the back, thinner grille and more powerful speakers are the step forward. At the touch device looks superb, and the picture of him as a complete device seams completed. iPad Air is not just a moment of designers’ inspiration, but powerful 64-bit machine that thanks to technology that saves battery lasts the whole day of use. In addition, iPad Air is a device that remains competitive in the term of cost. All fans around the world stay delighted. iPad Air comes as a device which should change Apple's success when it comes to tablets. U.S. giant really wants to be dominant in this segment. Therefore iPad Air offers a lot of useful and free software, the new iOS 7. However, iPad Air is not the only tablet on the market and competitors with Android platform are numbered from day to day. Let’s take as an example a powerful tablet Sony Xperia Tablet Z, which is one of the best tablets at this time. Besides the amazing features, this tablet offers a waterproof case, which Apple has not yet offered. But let's see what the Cupertino Company has packed in its new tablet.

iPad Air design

We have said that this tablet in a visual sense has no flaws. The precision and high quality are something Apple is well-known about. We believe that this device will be more enthusiastic for those who have not met the Apple tablets before, because iPad Air brings the lines of previous generation. There is a lot of similarity with iPad Mini, which is a plus in any case. The body made of aluminum is smooth and gives a great feeling of holding in hands. iPad Air conditioning is not perfect of course, and what immediately strikes the eye is that the tablet's quite noticeable fingerprints resistless. It seems that the device is a magnet for fingerprints, which spoils the impression of it, but what’s done is done. Also there’s some weird sound when you are touching the screen, probably due to the compromise because of the very thin body. When it comes to hardware keys, they are not too much of them, but they are nicely placed and easy to reach. Even if it’snot so small, iPad Air isn’t demanding to hold.

iPad Air camera

This tablet certainly does not strike the head when the camera is concerned. Some may have been expecting to get the iPad Air with 8MP iSight camera from iPhone 5S, but it didn’t happen. Instead, it place found a camera with some pixels down, which does a very good job. On the other side, the camera interface is poor and very simple. Also, the camera is “free” of the filter options. However, the photos are quite decent quality. But, we don't want to blame the cam for everything, so we say that the front 1.2 MP camera works really well, and can be smoothly used for video calls.

iPad Air multimedia

Since these devices are expected to be true multimedia stars, iPad Air didn't failed. First and foremost, there is iTunes, which is the real inexhaustible source of music and video in general. The new iPad is a real thing for the ears as the sound is reproduced at the top level, even when the music was played through the external speakers. Whether it's about a clip from the Internet or a video that you have taken by yourself, thanks to the brilliant Retina display, everything seems just magical. Okay, once in a while it happens some crash, but no big deal. When it comes to video, you should keep in mind that high-quality videos simply eat the memory, and iPad Air has no microSD slot and the 16GB version may not be sufficient for a full multimedia experience.

iPad Air battery life

For each tablet is important that its battery can provide a nice work. Officially iPad Air can offer about 10 hours of normal use, which is true. When it comes to standby, iPad Air can last about three days, which is certainly ok. Most energy waste takes a Wi-Fi connection. Of course, it is logical to assume that 4G connection takes a breath.

iPad Air conclusion

When all this is considered, iPad Air is a step forward for Apple and humanity. iPad Air brings better design and competitive price. Refreshments are the great speakers, new iOS 7 operating system and great speed (thanks to the ultra fast A7 processor from the iPhone 5S) is the quality that Apple has accustomed us. Whatever requirements you have, the iPad will have no problem to solve it. What are the shortcomings? One of them we have already mentioned - the version with 16GB is insufficient and some small issues about the new operating system. We have also mentioned that the unit is good in hands, but with almost half a kilo it can not be classified as light piece of tech. However, that’s because of metal case. Conclusion: Apple has managed to create an amazing combination of powerful specs, power and refreshed OS. iPad Air is a fancy device that attracts attention. A special plus is the price, which is perhaps for the first time at the level of competition. Photo and video:apple.com
