Apple iPad Air - User Reviews

  • In June 2019, Apple announced that it will drop support for the iPad Air with the release of iPadOS, along with its A7 cousins. iPad Air last update was 12.4.2 and it was released in September 26th 2019.

  • no, ipad os will be available for ipad air 2 and later on september 24th

  • Is iOS 12.4 the final update for iPad Air?

  • Is iOS 12.4 the final update for iPad Air?

  • what pen do you use to draw? thank you

  • I've got the ipad air and it can do ios 12.2 the latest ios out.

  • I also have one and on the beta iOS 12. I do allot with mine, photo editing, drawing, crafting mostly everything I do for my business I can do with my iPad Air 1, I’ve had mine now 1 yr now and she still fast n reliable as long as internet connection is stable. Only thing I don’t like is the camera no flash, n resolution not as good as my phone. But that is why I use it for editing my photography or painting, making charts getting inspiration n knowing I have a device that can hold just about anything a person of my stature needs and still have space to add more of my work. Enough said.. too each his/her own.

  • I have one on ios 12, and it is faster than it has ever been. 0 problems 0 lag. Enough for all normal usage. Next ipad will be an ipad pro if they get more desktop apps on it.

  • Unless its still on ios 7 or 8, theres no point because itll be very slow and unable to dwnload a lot of apps. Best to get the 5th or 6th gen

  • Is it still worth buying now? There are pretty good deal available for this model, still has proper software support, pretty much same everything as the newer iPads (minus the fancy SOC).

  • ask steve jobs

  • Well, if u play it for a while then it will overheat so u hav to shut down until it charges to 90 or 100%

  • did u buy it ?? iam going to buy used one too , so what you think ?

  • I pad Air (wifi)is good or bad .

  • Takes 4-5 hours to fully charge with a 10W charger. And it's about half the speed (measuring launch speed of about 10 apps I use often) of a Lenovo Tab4 10, which has half the antutu score and sells at less than half the price. I find it annoyingly slow, so tend to use a newer iPhone instead of the iPad Air. Using it as a backup when the iPhone needs charging. If you want an iPad, you should get a newer version. However, it does run the latest iOS for the time being. Had mine for 3 years, and battery is still reasonable. No need to charge daily for average use.

  • I have to tell you I have this ipad since 2015 and I’ve never change it because for me it’s apple’s best ipad The only problem, it don’t do a lot of things that new ipads do. It crack a lot but i guess it will take a long of time until it die forever

  • I’m watchin dis in my iPad Air 2013

  • Mine upgraded to ios 11.3.1 its good

  • You can't expand the RAM. iOS 11.3 seems to manage RAM better that the previous version though.

  • How can i make the ram from 1gb to 2gb?

  • Anybody know how to fix the battery on iPad air? Mine shuts down once it hits 45% charge:(

  • Mines smooth on iOS 11 so I reckon you’ll be fine. I’m not gonna update mine any further tho.

  • So it's better to keep 10.3.3 than upgrade to 11.2 on my ipad air??

  • The reciprocity in pictures that are taken with this exact device, the iPad Air, are so bad, that words just can't describe! It's just so AWFUL !!!!!!!!!!

  • Is it good for gaming?

  • IOS 11 made my iPad Air slow and buggy. The best IOS was 8 and it's getting progressively worse since then.

  • Done do the update for my ipad air. From iOS 11.0 - 11.1 is a quite buggy make a Apps crashed. Another iOS update 11.2 I quite fixed the bug.

  • Using my iPad Air and still on iOS 9.3.5 (13G36). Never updating it any further. It makes my iPad slower.

  • Ios 11 seems a bit buggy on my 4 year old iPad, I’m sure Apple will come out with fixes for this but I’d stay on iOS 10 or whatever you are on for a little while longer. Have a great day

  • is the iOS 11 stable for Ipad AIR (A1475). wanna try to update but afraid it will affect perfomance.

  • Yes

  • is the IOS stable at Ipad AIR?

  • The iPad Air can update to iOS 11, just a heads-up.

  • How did you use it the most careful way? Did you update software every time there was one

  • It's perfect device

  • I regularly use this pad since three years. Only loudspeaker is not better. Another no more issues.

  • I really enjoy it

  • it is still the beasts really love the Retina display and battery life is pretty awesome for such huge tablet,i am fan of this and apple.

  • I've had my iPad Air since the day it came out. 1 GB of RAM is not enough, especially if you're muiltasking. iOS 11 will probably not help the speed of this thing when it's officially released in September. The newest phones have 4 to 6 GB of RAM to put things in perspective. Battery life is great though. Honestly, just buy a computer. A computer such as the Lenovo yoga has a touch screen and a keyboard with USB ports and anything else you'd need. Also, Apple products tend to become obsolete within 4 years. Good computers ( Lenovo, HP, etc.) will last anywhere from 6 to 10 years.

  • I don't agree

  • It still amazing my Battery life is still excellent it might take a day or two for the battery to drain so for me its still a very good and solid device to use

  • You have to download lastest update.If you leave it on charge it will cause battery life to go down fast only if its been left on charge.Battery will need replacing other wise.

  • We were given an iPad Air at school and it is horrible battery life is the only thing good to say work wise. It is starting to lag and have battery problems. Now thank god we have laptops, this was the worst idea ever from the head of school.

  • Download Itunes and add all your music to Itunes thden add to device.

  • Yes its great, been using it for 3 years+ and its still a breeze, never lags EVER. ps; I am a huge android fan.

  • Yes. I've been using ipad air for 2 years. And it hasnt given any problems. Battery life is outstanding. But please make sure that his ipad is not defective

  • Hi, I'm considering getting a used, secondhand iPad Air for personal usage, is it advisable?

  • Not scratch resistant. I tested. With a sandpaper.

  • Register for a Spotify Premium.

  • iMusic

  • can you down load a song from the internet and play it without mobile data or wifi?

  • this piece of crap is only go for ignore you with pop up that not able to clear with a simple X out tried 7 times to clear a Walmart pop up had to back out of safari and go to setting still no good my thinking is apple is only interested in sell adds wouldn't recommend it for any one

  • Lol its a tablet

  • I also think that Apple should up its game, But Bigtime! But the iPad Air is cool, can't blame the tablet for its sellers short comings, eh Apple? No Reply roared the answer which never came.

  • Yes ,sure. Enjoy the 1Gb ram for a tablet that costed 700 euros when introduced... (ipad air owner)

  • apple is cheating people... am used ipad air..it was gud..it got complained. not responding, not turning on. tried to restore..then given to service center, without proper checking, they told its dead, u hav eto replace it with 20000/-.. then i showd apple logo and battery symbl..then they chekked it again and..after 2 days they replyed, its hardware complained, only option is replacement..they wont open ipad. if it is batery problem, they wont open. actually my ipad is in out of warranty..they r asking huge amount for replacement. if it is my mistake, iam ready to pay amount, but its not my mistake, i used it very care fully. if this is apple , there is no diffrence with low quality chineeese devices

  • Personally I think it's one of the best iPad I have used.

  • I pesonally love the iPad air. My mom has one and i do some homework on it and a bunch of other stuff. My teacher also teaches her math lessons on it

  • Does anyone know if the original Ipad air have a reflective coating like the ipad air 2 does?

  • Does anyone know if the original Ipad air have a reflective coating like the ipad air 2 does?

  • I don't have sound in face time and miss calls. How could I increase it? Thanks

  • Does ipad Air support OTG flash memory

  • Yes, lock button and home button at the same time, you will know when it does. The screen will flash and the screenshot will be in your photo library

  • Sounds like you are in DFU Mode, Pretty easy fix. Look it up.

  • LOL .. your ipad is defective!

  • my ipad wont charge unless its turned off why????

  • How face detection works on iPad Air?

  • The screen goes black, the picture is unstable, the letters don't appear when I type; it doesn't respond; it looks like the ipad is stuck. Please anybody can help? Thanks

  • I got a set of philips SHB3060/3080 wireless Bluetooth headphones, and tried to connect to my IPad Air. But only get sound by one channel only. I did check the speaker balance and still got sound on one channel only. Anyone to help me Alfredo from Peru.

  • Hold the home and power button at same time and check for either apple logo or battery symbol meaning it's charging, as primary approach. Secondly you can charge the divice and if nothing comes up. It just means that your iPad is out of power so charge it until it turns on. Then as soon as you see your lockscreen, press the sleep button once to lock it straight away to save power. If failed. Just let it charge until it gets some power stored on its own.

  • good phone

  • I was using my ipad Air, till last Tuesday & suddenly the screen is black it is lighted but dark, cannot shut down I don't know what happened, any help please?

  • Press the Power button and the Home button simultaneously

  • Can iPad air screenshot, and how to work?

  • I used iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad Air and iPad Air 2. All is great. But my iPad Air is suddenly shutdown power and won't power on again. Won't charge again. Anything help??????

  • what is the name of the app

  • not exactly true. there is an app that pairs your whatsapp on your phone to your ipad and even on your browser. I've used it on both and works ok. for the ipad, you have to have the app launched on your phone for it to work I think. but "what's the point?" for me, while at work, my phone is off to the side while I use my ipad to do research.

  • From 5% > 100% with the standard Ipad Air charger (12W) is 6:45 hours in my case last night. At your service, Tester X

  • Does it support USB hosting?

  • Do you genuinely think that the SoC can handle that overpowered resolution without a single trace of lag? Plus, iOS has much more tablet-optimised apps which makes the iPad Air one of the best Tablet in the market right now.

  • How many hrs it takes to charge from 5% to 100%

  • If you are smart, you know the galaxy tab s is about $100 cheaper, .8 in bigger, and has a better screen resolution. They also have more costomisibility, and the list can go on.

  • I stopped taking your reply seriously the moment you said 1GB equals 1000MB. It is 1024MB. To answer your dilemma, an application of 50 MB size may additionally download content from servers (like games) to their dedicated storage (isolated storage for each app). This may increase the file size further. To make it simple. If you have a note taking app, the blank app is of 50MB, say Add 10000 notes, they would need some space right? that would increase the file size Thanks!

  • Please read!!!!!!!!HI Guys I experienced on IPAD Air, apple sell the device as 32GB Is not, most devices sold in the market non of them accurate allways around 2GB short that is fair enough, But with apple Device if you download (3 apps size 50MB each of them in total 150MB, for example if the storage was 28GB, it down to 27GB, if you download few more apps the space storage go down to 26gb or less , for example total apps were downloaded around 500MB, why the hell the device storage go down by 2GB or more?I am sure Not many of you do theses caculation about storsge space, But we all pay lot of money for the device with that storage space. So Guys Apple cheating on the storage devices is not right, all you can do some calculation.1GB is 1000MB &10000 KB. If the Ipad air 32GB you will only Get around 12GB, so the 32GB or 64GB or 128GB, show in the device is fake by apple. I am pretty sure all the Iphones have same fake storage spaces without people realise. I have proof! Guys you are need wake up, I am trying to apple for that. I need your help guys, I am going to open Group page on facebook against apple due to selling devices with non accurate spaces! I will post the group name here soon!

  • Whenever apple release a product people will queue up to buy yet is most expensive compare to others, but I tell u don't be jealous is all about good work flawless tech, when u use apple and android the result will speak for itself I have iPhone5 since a year now I am still happy with it because they keep updating the ios add new features if android update you will keep hearing errors after the update ios app are smoothly optimised, apple products don't get spoil easily, don't hang rather it take u back to the home screen u don't need to remove the battery. Or too much heat like some android out there.I will but ipad air2 buy month end.

  • Same here, we made a bad mistake and bough an Android tablet for my daughter in 2013, very bad idea, she didnt use it and neither did anyone else. We simply never found out what to do with it. Now she had an iPad Air for half a year and she has barely put it down since she got it. She almost never touch her laptop anymore - its almost as covered in dust as the Galaxy tablet was, she dont care about her smartphone anymore as well and her Xbox 360 isnt exactly getting worn out either, unless she has friends over to play Kinect dance games, even though she have the latest and greatest games for girls. The iPad Air is really THE device, divide the price by the monthly average hours of active use and its easily the cheapest device money can buy. Was actually gonna buy her a new bigger Android smartphone but realized its pointless if it isnt an iPhone, she has Android now and her previous phones were Android as well and she doesnt need or want another Android phone, Android simply isnt catchy or cool to use for modern kids.

  • I was never a Apple fan until I bought the iPad Air last year. The way this thing handles everything is absolutely amazing. From sharpness of the screen to switching between apps this device is the best. The apps are custom made for iPad and not the same apps as on an iPhone. I use a wifi only model. The battery lasts easily above 12 hours of use and up to a week or two of standby if not used much. After using this device I can clearly see the difference between the quality of apps between Android and iOS and I can definitely say iOS apps are 10/10. After using this device I am seriously thinking of leaving Android and going with the iPhone 6. Btw I use a Nexus 4 as my phone.

  • voice calling feature are available in ipad air or not???? plz reply i want to buy if this feature is available.

  • Honestly I am a iPad Air user and let me tell it's a awesome the way it works is so much better I was an am a android fan and user but as soon as I got my iPad air I was pleased by buying it cause it's worth the money wow it's so sweet it's works fast very helpful and slim

  • I'm Not an Apple fanboy but u should've backed up your files on icloud/pc ...don't blame apple for your mistake...i've been using the IPad air since December...And never been happier....

  • don't change the pc/laptop,if u use in one system use the same system evrytme,if u chnge the systm it will erase all the datas.

  • I am using iPad air about 10 months. I am in love with it. this is Awsome device I have ever Used. if you wanna buy it dont wait just do it you can enjoy more then any other tablet in the world.

  • It's an awesome tablet. Beautiful display and it runs effortlessly. Have it for 2 months now. Makes awesome pictures and video. I'm lovin it :)

  • Wonderful experience with I pad Air. can't forget this device. i did everything what i want..Awesome device..I love My Apple..

  • Been to Apple store today after 8.2 version update. Needed a passcode after update. Only way Apple Store could make I pad work was by erasing everything. NOT HAPPY. Lost every thing. Will not be buying any more Apple products and will spread the word..

  • Will not support

  • Every time I connect my iPad to desktop all data gone, how can i stop this, i badly need to copy few picture in my iPad, please help.

  • can someone call, sms, wassup and recieve using this gadget?

  • Yes you can

  • haha that's the funniest question ever.

  • Can't I download books directly from any site by using ipad air ??

  • no you can't make voice calls on ipad or ipad mini gsm version are only to receive data from sim card

  • how do i make voice calls?????

  • How do I make voice calls from my iPad Air?

  • its good

  • I have it since the first air-day. This is something amazing. Best thing ever made.

  • I am using I-pad air since 2 months now I feel more comfortable in terms of browsing.

  • Common Apple,release the iPad Air 2,using iPad 2 for 3 years is enough i think

  • It's the best ipad I have used

  • I've been using ipad air since january this year, a shift from ipad 3. The experience with ipad air is really exceptional, the interface is very fluid and touch feature is clearly responsive. There is a lot of apps available in appstore both utility and games platform. It is really dependent in itunes when you intend to manage all your apple devices. It may seem a walled garden at the onset but it is very useful in the long run,- it makes it easier to configure your iphone or ipad in an instant and you can even use it as drag and drop facility to copy a video in an instant similar to window explorer. It takes a "getting used to" process and mindset but it works for me. Hope this helps.

  • I have 7 months using iPad Air it is the best. it makes all samsung looks ugly. iPad air nothing beats it

  • Apple air is too good working .....

  • No Java.........

  • i would argue. tab s has bette specs and resolution and the same battery time its better in any way imaginable. but ipad air is a good pad no doubt bout it

  • comparing android and apple is like comparing night and day... learn ur stuff and come back

  • You can't really compare iOS ram requirements to android ram requirements

  • This is the best tablet! 8600 mah is amazing. I charge it every 2 days. Worth the price

  • 1gb of ram, seriously, that's the same as low mid-range droids

  • As a student who's a heavy user of laptops for making word documents, ppts, excel files, etc. I challenged myself to use the iPad Air 64Gb WiFi + Cellular Data variant as a substitute. It has been almost a year and I find it very efficient, functional, and has extended my potential and creativity in making such documents. Also, the battery life is quite impressive.

  • This is the best pad/tab ever to date.. Its smoothness and fluidity beyond than any tab. I do said this because I have experienced a tab previously. Try it then you'll know.

  • i can't make calls or text directly to any phones😞😞 why o why?

  • I think the only thing that impresses me with Apple is just how they are able to sell their gadgets in such large numbers at such high prices. Been using Air for a month now & the inconveniences, limitations and capability of it shocked me i.e in comparison to high end Windows and Android tablets. Top Sony & Samsung tablets are in another league_easy PnP compatibility with computers and other devices, no need to cumbersomely sync everything with Itunes, not be limited to an Apple world etc. How Apple sells this gadgets the way they do is just puzzling!

  • N-1 I am so happy.. Works wonderful .

  • In specification there is written 2G sim type but why calling from sim card is not possible?

  • i think apple should produce more chipest product , for all those people belongs to middle class familly , and if it will do this then it will become one of the most demanding company around the world ......

  • Best ipad I`ve used, it`s very fast and never fails

  • Its just a wow...

  • You can not make phone calls using any ipad yet you can call others using the internet ( via wifi or cellular data ) through facetime, viber, Skype ( even to mobile no. directly ) etc�

  • I hope new ipad has led flash, 8mp back camera, 5mp front camera, and it's called iPad Pro.

  • You can't make calls or receive calls from Apple iPad Air.

  • pls can i use ipad Air to make call ? pls i need answer from anyone , can i use any ipad to make calls? can i call on anyone of ipad ? pls i need answer

  • Just jailbreake your air and will work fine

  • I love my iPad Air Its not about the features, it's about the work it does dat to soo fluidly I have other tablets aswell but iPad Air is the best when it comes to audio the screen size browsing gaming..n so on n the dude hu said der is no whatsapp for ipad ..u can install if u want to.. Google it u ll see.The main purpose of a phone is to make a call so technologically if someone innovated a new advanced phone with a jet pack on it n it does fly well it won't be called a phone unless it can MAKE A PROPER CALL likewise ipad does the work of a tablet pretty well as it's supposed to ..

  • Awesome pad I have ever used...

  • only fanboy says like that....hahaha

  • It's unwise to mingle with people like you who makes foolish comments to ruin the innocent. IPad Air has won couple of accolades for the best tablets. This happened early this year. where do you reside maybe there's no news coverage in your vicinity. No tablet stands in the presence of IPad Air period. I recommend this iPad air to everyone.

  • Whatsapp is unfortunately not compatible with Ipad Air😔

  • oh yeah..I see 100 people bring their iPad air with broken screen...

  • Apple is lame.....don't know how to make tablet and smartphone...

  • How is Apple ipad Air battery condition... Mine is too worse

  • I leave in West Africa, Nigeria, is there any app that I can use to make domestic calls in my region

  • Im getting one this year, apples ipad are solid like rock im using still the first gen. and is working like a charm

  • In using that app will I be able to make phone call using airtime

  • i dont know....no...yes...

  • is whats app and are available on this apple ipad air ??

  • Yes. Agreed that internet connection is not required for GPS. I feel it is removed because of the following reasons: 1. Nearly all map apps require constant internet connection for it to work. Only a few map support offline map navigation.. These apps will be broken when wifi is interrupted.. leading to customer unhappiness. 2. Finding your location with GPS alone takes alot of time.. secs to mins to pinpoint your location. Without cellular towers / wifi who collect the information beforehand (A-GPS) its slow on lockon.. and would affect app responsiveness. So i feel Apple remove it completely. Its like them to do such things.

  • You seriously thought a device that isn't connected to anything could get GPS information? Haha. - Yes. you only need data plan to download the map information. but if you already have the map data (like garmin devices) you can get GPS data without any internet connection.

  • apple i pad air rocks the world in 2014

  • Why the 3G is not working ...

  • And BTW, of course it doesn't have GPS. Its WiFi only You seriously thought a device that isn't connected to anything could get GPS information? Haha. Tether your WiFi only iPad to your phone. Drive somewhere. Open Maps on the iPad and tell me if it can't find you. You're really a troll.

  • 12" is way too big for a tablet. Holding the Note Pro tablet for a while is very uncomfortable. Just after a few minutes. I don't think Apple will have a 12" tablet at all. It will be a 12" Macbook Air.

  • Not necessarily. 16:9 is wide and allows for better multi window mmultitasking. In the 12" pro line you can have up to 4 windows split screen at the same time.

  • 9.7" is perfect for people who want that size. Some want 7". Some 8". Some 10.*" whatever. It is a personal choice. And yes. The 10.5" Tab S is imperfect. It lags like crazy, it overheats and the plastic back warps.

  • Well the iPad supports SD Cards, but only to copy pictures and videos to your iPad, not vice versa.

  • Nothing against Samsung 10.5 I just do not like anything in 16:9 or 16:10 formfactor in a tablet. Good for video and nothing more. 4:3 on tablet is better.

  • Yeah....ipad air is awesome i have this 1 month before its 128 gb its great i like it so much....nothing to compare

  • I have used iPad 2 & 4 but now using iPad air which without doubt has played a pivot role of familiarizing myself to 9.7 which is perfect if you come from iPad background like me. I overheard that Apple is gonna release 12 inches which I'm not interested to, the same as 5.5 iphone. Keep it small says, the founder of Apple

  • Sorry but Apple is extremely on your mind if you think 9.7 is "PERFECT", Samsung has recently released 10.5 is that imperfect ? Oh yeah because you are apple's die hard fan we can expect that

  • it is better then the other feature of mob so is the best...thank you

  • even with 1 gb of ram on the te air it play games,handle tasks and works quickly.love the air and also its rear camera couse it takes good photos

  • You're out of your mind 9,7 inches is perfect. is samsung paying you for this?

  • New Ipad need to be 12 inch !

  • Hmmm .. you seems to be a person who do not do much reading. If you inform yourself good enough, Both from Apple Website and GSMARENA. You should know the wifi version do not have GPS. And if you bother to search the App store, read reviews, apps, you should know there are apps that support DLNA. And IMO, the sd slot card does not support iOS sandbox app architecture. And i do not know your anger towards Mavericks and iTunes.. Solution very easy: Just sell your iPad, iDevice, Bootcamp Windoze for all your Macs.. and buy WP phones or Android.. and welcome yourself to another set of problems.

  • I bought an iPad Air for my wife as a Christmas gift. Having owned numerous Apple products over the years - including an iPhone and first gen iPad which had every option available - the choice seemed good at the time. But it wasn't. Further, it really didn't take more than a month to feel the sting of a bad purchase. Why? Well, the choice when buying one of these 'premium' pads basically comes down to how much you can live with paying vs. what your perception of what you'll get. Here's what we discovered with a 32 gb wifi version that cost roughly �600. First - and I must say incredibly - it doesn't have gps :(((. Even the cheapest, bare bones Android offerings have that. To be honest our first gen iPad had it and it never occurred to us that Apple would rip people off this way. ((Think about it. You're paying for a premium product that you can use the map function for once you step out the door. That's just thievery ... it sure as h.ll isn't 'high end'.)) Second - and this again is a major disappointment - it doesn't support DLNA. Sure, I hear people thinking aloud about the unfairness off this comment as surely you can use additional Apple gear ... Air play, Time capsule, etc, but really, should you have to cough up more after plunking down hundreds to get on board? DLNA equipped devices - many Android offerings, both cheap and expensive - merely require a wifi connected secondary device. Since you already need one to 'connect' to the net the cost has been born and you needn't spend another cent. Next is the absolutely horrible iOS 7. Like I wrote (much) earlier I am a lifelong Apple user. I think I have had at least one of just about anything they've ever produced - including my MBP 15 and G5 desktop as well as an older G4 that has travelled around the world with me a few times .... these are really good products - but I've got to say that iOS 7 is a disaster. Apple has also shot itself in the foot with Mavericks, but I've still got faith. They did after all fire a few lead people on these projects ... one should keep hope, but again the whole interface of iOS 7 is clunky, sloppy, 'non' intuitive and frankly anti Apple. Then you've got the age old problem of iTunes. Who could really love this sloppy octopus? Add to that I already knew that there wasn't an external memory slot (honestly Apple, where is the difficulty in that?). No, on the whole (and I could say more) this iPad Air quickly became a regret. There's far more to these things than technical specs and biased comparisons of RAM types, speeds and processor capabilities. Sometimes it comes down to what your device actually has on offer and what you've paid for it. In that reguard and considering the real lack of innovation - something I've always thought highly of in the Apple techno sphere - an iPad (including the mini) is money poorly spent :(((. If the consideration stopped merely at fluidity of the user experience, or the stability of the device then yes, up to a point Apple still delivers a reasonable product. But better? Sadly, no.

  • The ram used in ipad/iphone is used in computer/laptop

  • RAM is where the instructions for the CPU are stored temporary. Because retrieve instruction from storage is slow like snail. DDR3 is a means or method of storing it on the RAM u find it on PCs/Macs.. Phones use LPDDR3 instead.. slower but more energy efficient. A7 chips contains 1GB LPDDR3 64bit long with L1 ~ L3 cache. Cache is very important compared to RAM.. as its very very fast compared to RAM.. S800 only have 32bit 2~3GB LDDR3 RAM. In a A7 chip CPU. CPU -> check L1 cache (64KB) -> check L2 cache (1MB) -> check L3 cache (4MB) before checking the RAM. (L1 fastest.. L2 slower.. L3 slowest.. RAM even slower.. Storage is snail speed) To compare.. S800 chip. It has 32KB L1 cache, and 2MB L2 cache.. Much much less then A7 chip. But it make it up by processing faster and having more cores.. at 2.3Ghz cycle.. compared to much slower A7 chip at 1.3Ghz. Having more cores however is subjective.. if the process is capable in supporting parallel processing. A speed of a CPU is determined how fast it can process the information.. Apple resolve this by having large cache, so to avoid using the slower RAM / Storage. Qualcomm resolve this by having more cores, faster clock speed, and bigger RAM. In terms of energy consumption.. A7 performs very well.. thus the battery life of iPad is good.

  • How can I import things from computer with windows to iPad?

  • IPad Air is the best it has won many awards as the best iPad. Google it you'll see it. Guys, what does 1GB RAM DDR3 mean?

  • I am from Kurdistan I want to ask which kind of iPad is the best? price does not matter but I want the best

  • If u need a bit small one and quite easy to handle,iPad mini with retina display so called ipad 2 is good. But if u want a real tablet or let's say a good one then iPad Air is best. I highly recommend u to buy iPad Air 32gig+

  • If u are searching for medium size iPad mini with retina display is good. But if u are searching for bigger screen then iPad Air is best. I also have iPad Air.

  • I am from Kurdistan I want to ask which kind of iPad is the best? price does not matter but I want the best

  • Intel have a dual core i5 running at 1.4GHz. It can run Diablo 3 at MAX resolution!! Can ur tablet do the same?? Do not look at surface specs.. you have to test the device before u comment.

  • why?

  • Guys even if iphone 5s is not a literal upgrade based on the specifications (dual core, same resolution, etc) the upgrade to Apple A7 chipset is a beast! It may still be dual core but based on different benchmark tests it even surpassed LG G2 and Xperia flagships that are quad core. It may only have 1gb ram but the better memory management of the A7 chipset makes it comparable to those android flagships. Im not a fan of apple but I guess we should not only rely on paper specifications of the phone but the user experience. Thats all thanks.

  • Then simply don't buy it

  • Only has a dual-core cpu, 1GB ram - what a piece of junk! my tablet has way better specs than this expensive rubbish!!!

  • Actually iPhone sucks with it's tiny screen.And it has a camera with lower quality than competitors flagships even in action.It has lower resolution and ppi than other flagships and it's battery is absolutely worse than competitors too.

  • It's the screen size that matters in this comparison and it depends on you taste.

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S?Fail.And the amazing Surface Pro 3 is mostly a laptop than a tablet and it's more expensive than iPad Air.

  • And a more features with a better camera and battery(if you look at battery life tests)

  • Apple should release iOS 8 ASAP.

  • iPad air

  • How to setup ipad air to 3g network.

  • They are basically the same in terms of specification, it literally comes down to whether you want a bigger screen or not

  • So you are saying getting the 32gb mini with retina display is better?

  • Go for more storage. 16gb is limiting.

  • Hi,Im from Malaysia and wanting to get an ipad but I cant make up my mind to either get a 32gb mini 2 and 16bg air,as the prices are the same for this 2 specs and all the other spec of this 2 are similar Please do give some opinion

  • Wonderful quality and feel. Samsung has some work to do to come close to this!

  • Samsung can compete with apple is smartphones but when it comes to tablets nothing come even close to apple. IMO

  • Oh my frnd, I'm not the man who introduced it as a tablet ... Manufacturers have introduced it as a tablet... The theme marketing word pace that used when introducing that is "The Tablet To Replace Your Laptop".... When microsoft saying as that u tell me that "it's not a tablet"... But don't angry with me...It's you'r opinion.. This is my opi.. we are different people and also though are different.... :) :) I love everyone...

  • What is the best tab to buy? ipad air vs SAMSUNG GALAXY tab S ..... ? ................ ................

  • Both uses desktop class OS. MBA can run both / SP3 can run windows 8 Both uses intel core i series cpu - super fast but more power hungry compared to tablets. Both uses ssd hdd.. not like those emmc found in tablets. Both weigh almost the same. 2.49 with dock vs 2.38 or 2.96 pound (not really portable like a tablet.. but rather place on a desk.. the vents will burn your hand when its under load) Both have no lte/3g versions Both can plug and play almost all devices - unlike tablets that can otg only a few stuff. Basically a laptop is a work horse, and tablet is a energy efficient ultra portable with a large screen. You see surface pro 3 as a laptop replacement. I see it as an unfinished product (where is the keyboard and trackpad for the productivity required in a desktop OS?.. you have to buy it seperately .. and split it). And you can see that Surface Pro 3 is not listed here as a tablet.. because it isn't. So cannot be compared to iPad.

  • Surface Pro 3 is a tablet to replace your laptop.. It's not a Laptop like Mac Book Air.. Then why do u compare a tablet to laptop...?

  • This is one of the greatest product from apple. But at this much higher price point apple should give more than 1GB ram, because in future there will be latest os (ios8/9) and there hardware requirements would be much more... And also there will be a lot of applications that will kill the ram of this product. I think at this price point there are lots of challangers in android to compete with this Ipad air...

  • Surface pro 3 is compared to Macbook air not iPad. Samsung Tab S is not even released yet. And beside iPad is still the best. Because regardless of devices, 99% time you are using apps, and iPad have the best quality apps in all.

  • How is Samsung Tab S 8.4 and MICROSOFT surface pro 3... Both are better than ipad air...

  • truth.

  • The Ipad Air has the new A7 chip with a new processor that is 10 times faster than the old chips.

  • 1. Lighter 2. Faster 3. Retina display 4. Higher storage version 5. More application support (Some games need higher req then iPad2)

  • staying away from specs and numbers, what could be a solid practical reason to upgrade from ipad 2 to ipad air?

  • rubbish

  • Yes, you can. But he's finding for a solution to lessen the battery drainage. Btw, activating wifi while on airplane mode, IMO, is stupid.

  • I don't find the iOS complex and I'm a first-time user. It caters to simplicity, mind you. But I guess we're just different.

  • because the ipad is big and you would look ridiculous taking pictures with it.

  • IPad Air or IPad Mini 2?

  • compared to the ipad 3rd gen this is just a waste of money

  • Same here i am also using it from 3 years

  • Me too:(

  • Wait for iOS 8. Then buy both iPhone and iPad.

  • I want this iPad so bad,but my mother say no,i'm still using iPad 2 for almost 3 Years,hope next year to buy the next generation of iPad Air :)

  • iPad wind will come up with 8mp just relax and be cool. iPhone my second religion

  • you'll never regret if you buy iphone or iPad air. iPhone is the best

  • When buy Apple products, no worry about internals. They promise excellence performance for at least 2 years.. until the updates on OS more features slows it down. This is iOS not Androids, so no need to compare hardware based on different OS. Try one, if you find it performance good, then buy. If not then do not buy. Its simple like that.

  • i m confused for buy handset becos lot of kind of cell avablile in mrk .... any one can suggest

  • 1 GB Ram more than enough for iPad to work smoothly. It can even beat devices with 3 GB ram.

  • why ram 1g?? i want 2g @@

  • Why apple doesnt put a 8 or 13 mpx camera on the ipad

  • I think better to go with xperia z2 coz apple ecosystem is very complex if you are buying it for the first time.(no offence to apple users) Android OS is very user friendly and packing inside xperia z2 is very powerful(specs).

  • please suggest me apple ipad air or sony tablet z2?

  • awesome tablet ever happy with icloud

  • The specs on the ipad air, are the same as a mobile. What are the possibility of using it as a mobile/phone?

  • Awesome tab........ But little bit upset with battery backup

  • You want a device you can use underwater.. but no good apps all giant UI... u rather get a android handset and be done with it.. or a device that have all good apps but cannot use underwater?.. Your pick.

  • ipad air or z2 tablet?

  • Does the ipad air have a dialer and ofcourse the calling option.

  • ipad air or z2 tablet? help please

  • I Love apple iPad air.

  • hmm im just passing by to say that you can use wifi while on airplane mode kthxbai

  • Airplane mode helps but some games require active internet connection so that may not be the best solution.

  • I think ipad mini its too small for movies and all that stuff but is good to travel with it . Sorry for my english :D

  • after 5 month of using this ipad air, its still my best tablet device, im using it mostly for gaming and browsing. lately i notice that my ipad air battery been draining more than it use to be... do i need to use airplane mode or something to extend my battery life again?

  • Ipad mini 2 is better then ipad air. Air is to big and heaviler.

  • Both should be same speed, only the processing of the website is much faster on air. If your connection is problematic.. then best you replace router instead. I say get time capsule with wifi ac.. and save up on iPad 6.

  • I own an ipad2 now want to get the iPad air. Could some one say how is the browsing speed in iPad air ? Because I have this connectivity issue with the iPad 2 from the very start. Could not fix it.

  • You are correct, iOS 7 is optimized for iPhone 5S and iPad Air... My iPhone 4S and iPad 2 is a bit slow compared to my iPad Air and iPhone 5s!

  • I had my iPad 2 and now iPad Air... I can say that when it comes to battery, nothing compares to iPad tablets... When I hold iPad 2 and Air side by side, there's so much things in Air that I fell in love with it. Weight, screen and resolution, design and of course speed. Before when I have an iPad 2, very seldom I use my laptop... With iPad Air, I never use my laptop..., I can do my office work via iWork and it is flawless!

  • can I use 4g network

  • IPad is the best in any manner, I used Note 3 and finaly gave up. coz many software issues... I am very happy with IPad Air.

  • How can i use the predictive text input

  • Quad core processor!! DOUBLE the CORES DOUBLE THE RAMS! .. and yet cannot handle the slight increase in resolution? And besides.. the battery life is weak in note 2014 also! Note 2014 is for people who wants to do PC stuff on tablet.. For enjoyment get iPad!.. Then again why bother buy note 2014 to do PC stuff.. when you can spend a bit more for a full desktop system like macbook air or ultrabook?? Or just VNC your PC from your iPad.

  • hey dude. samsung note 10.1 2014 edition have more resoluion than ipad air!!!

  • And yet its slower then iPad Air LOL... its a shame it got beaten by a dual core 1gb device :)

  • Samsung galaxy note 2 2014 esition has wayyyy way wayyyy more ram and everything.

  • Samsung galaxy note 2 2014 esition has wayyyy way wayyyy more ram and everything.

  • A mind boggling device by Apple

  • ipad Air for now. no regret.

  • i would say is ipad Air. at least for now.

  • No such issues, same endurance as the previous ipads. Suggestion for you: Buy a Android tablet.. and look at the battery life. I guess u will scream even more :) iPad Air, left over the weekend = drop 3% Samsung Note 8, left over the weekend = drop 59%

  • I am not quite sure but since I had the ipad 4and now have had the air since it came out, it seems to me that the battery life is minimal compared to the 4 it has been quite frustrating ,has anyone else had this problem ? I also bought a diff type keyboard than I had for the 4 that only fits the air ( company begins with L ) NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL ! Battery life on this is total crap aswell ! Previous keyboard MAYBE AHAD TO CHARGE ONCE A WEEK as well as the ipad , the new air with new keyboard always . Keyboard dies if left on in about 2 hrs . Extremely annoying , who walks around with TWO CABLES CONSTANTLY ??? IRRITATING . ANYONE ELSE FIND THIS OR HAVE A SUGGESTION THANKS

  • If you have knowledge of port forwarding, you would never be interested in an iPad..

  • OK. I LL try that. Thnx

  • That's cool. I received my new ipad air today. It's a high quality device. With gr8 display, hardware and appstore. Nevermind it supports flash or not.

  • @sundar15 instal itunes on your pc. Ipad air is really great, the camera is great to, i think

  • Don't bother to use ipad like pc / Mac. U get disappointed. Unless u have bad network.. Just keep ur hdd on ur pc, and download streamtome.. IMO, better then plex if u have knowledge on port forwarding, and good home/ mobile network.

  • I'm afraid you'll need to get one of those lightning to (insert adapter name here) cables. I checked the iPad accessories on the Apple website but I cannot seem to find what you need. You might want to check it out yourself here:

  • IS there way to connect usb drive or hard drive to ipad and play movies or audio from it?

  • Performance-wise (and if you check the benchmarks), iPad Air is currently the best iPad out there. With the design, Air is also more stunning and elegant than the previous iPads. It's worth the purchase. :)

  • iOS is so efficient that using 2GB of RAM or more or quad/octa-core processors would render the EXTRA power useless. Apple wouldn't use dual core with 1GB RAM if they know those specs wouldn't suffice the needs of the OS. But they did. Meaning: IT'S ENOUGH.

  • You know there exist dual core i5 processors? It even beats the strongest qualcomm chipset out there.. all the way into the 2016! Did you know gamers on PC, they did not even bother greater then 8GB ram? They rather go for OVERCLOCKING ram, and FAST ram! iPad is build as per above. Fast ram/ fast cpu/gpu. Number of cores/ capacity of ram is nothing if its slow like turtle.

  • which is best among all the ipad models???.........some one help me ......

  • dual core? still no quad core or octa core, standards right now is minimum quad and high end octa core with 3gb Ram. That sucks

  • Personally, I highly recommend iPad Air. I use one currently (the 32GB silver version) and it's totally stunning. Right from the first time I opened it until now, it's pretty responsive and fast. It has beautiful graphics, too so I enjoy playing Real Racing 3 and Batman. Even with multitasking, this iPad handles the job very well. It's just a little too pricy but it's worth every cent. :)

  • Lighting performance with Dual-core 1.3 GHz processor and 1gb ram. Wow. Only apple can do that. Apple is amazing.

  • i m interested to buy ipad which is best pls tell me

  • Just upgrade to ios 7.1 No need for jailbreak.

  • The animations to you might feel slow but to me it's fine. And the animations doesn't even account to the totality of the iOS 7. Regarding app launching and multitasking, the OS does an incredible job. My iPad Air is a LOT faster than my friends' android tablets in that matter.

  • Disabling autocorrect doesn't disable the dictionary. You can still highlight the text and choose among 'select', 'select all', and 'define'. There are definitions from the Oxford Dictionary or you can select the web.

  • By the way, since i am an useful person i post my findings here anyway. Animations cannot be speed up but the UI motion and zooming can, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion > On This helps, it does feel faster, but slow animations remain and jailbreak is needed to remedy it. Note that the keyword is FEEL faster, i quote: "I am not saying it actually makes your device faster. I�m saying that it will make it seem faster. Opening a folder, launching an application, unlocking the device with Touch ID definitely feel more responsive and immediate, although only some scientific testing could confirm this."

  • Thanks, i try it, when i can. If still needed that is, one of our laptops got issues so i guess i be buying an x86 Win 8.1 tablet, i have a good excuse for it now =) Wanted the Sony Vaio Tap 11 since i first saw it, the Core i5 version with 512GB SSD. 128GB iPad isnt horrible but dosnt quite cut it. The iPad was mostly for my daughter anyway, its always with her, she cant even go outside without it.

  • He insinuated that it is not a problem, yet the web is full of complaints about this. ITS A WELL KNOWN FACT, iOS7 feels slow, and it IS a problem. And you two say i am ranting? Just search and read. "One of the primary complaints that I hear about iOS 7, outside of the obvious beef with the app icons, is the slow animation speed. iOS 7 uses animations to add a sense of depth to the interface, and I�m a big fan of the effect. Unfortunately, the effect does add some perceptual slowness to the experience, whether the slowness actually exists or not." Anyway, there is no solution to this, the only tweaks that can be done involves jailbreak. Hopefully future updates will improve it a bit.

  • u can try UC Browser its working nice...

  • It didn't seem like he was attacking the other guy. He even gave the link for Apple Support to ACTUALLY help the guy. He's right. Ranting here wouldn't get one anywhere. So better check the Apple website for support for the device involved.

  • Whats wrong with you, you are the only one here hating. Leave the guy alone if you cant help, instead of making wild accusations. Man why are apple fans so delicate and attack people facing issues with apple products?

  • Like i said, GO TO Apple Support Communities (https://discussions.apple.com/) There are tons of people willing to help u there. Posting here with hating comments gets you nowhere, only retorts and anger, as you did not even scratch the surface of iOS. From the way you describe how you use iPad, sound like a first timer.

  • Disabling autocorrect disables the dictionary. Corrections must be offered but not forced IMO. having to dismiss them every time is an extremely bad solution.

  • By the way guys, will install an additional web browser, whats the best? I was thinking of Chrome but i hate everything Google, and FF isnt very good at all on Android so i assume its bad also on iOS. Will likely still use Safari most but it aint as good as i expected, somewhat surprised to find that its based on the same engine as Konqueror, the default browser in many KDE desktop environments for Linux, and to be honest Konqueror isnt that great also, in that way Safari was not surprising.

  • Its confirmed to be an issue on all iOS 7 devices, stop lying. Fake users and whatever, dont yo have anything useful to say? Then dont say it. I think you are just a fanboy who cannot even afford iPad Air, and your technical level you have already proven to be nil. Im sure there is enough useful people here. Anyone else, can i speed up the animations/transitions to get shorter time of unresponsiveness? As i said, its not as bad as on WP but enough to be a problem sometimes, i want my first tap to be registered every time, not by probability like some Quantum Mechanics theory.

  • "Would be nice if there were someone useful around." : you should have go Apple Support Communities there and post your rants there, there are TONS of useful communities people there, and if your lags is justified, they will help u. Unless your scared that is.. and had to post it in places where there are tons of anti-apple users. Post here, you might just a fake Apple user, maybe without even sign up anything apple and just click on links showing apple lag and trolling everywhere. There is no such issues watsoever in ios 7.1 now.

  • Excuse me, on your previous comment, you haven't specified your problems with iTunes being the uploading of contents. So it's automatic that when you said iTunes, SYNCING data comes to mind first. And as with the keyboard, if your problem is AUTOCORRECT, how could you be so innocent? Don't tell me with such a simplistic phone, you haven't checked settings and disabled autocorrect if that is what giving you problems. Don't insist on using it when it gives you headache. Btw, I've disabled mine so I'm not bothered with the good keyboard.

  • Are you ok there? You reply to a post and you scream SYNC SYNC, who is talking about sync? Its about uploading content, which is a nightmare on iOS, and its a well known problem that is always mentioned by every professional reviewer as one of the main disadvantages of iOS, and you want to fix it by being obsessed with syncing, ok... Good luck. You know very well whats wrong with the keyboard, why else are some people using third party keyboard apps to write messages and emails and then copy the text and go paste it in the email/messaging app. Its really stupid to try to force "corrected" words on us, always having to manually discard every single word. There are millions of autocorrect jokes on the web and you are saying its good, well...

  • And its about the UI in general, not any app. You are wrong on all accounts. Bigger harddrives are in general faster because they have higher data density and/or reads from more platters simultaneously and thats a well known fact. That doesnt have anything to do with RAM though, you really think RAM is a storage? I admit RAM wasnt causing the problem but you are still wrong. Now i just need to find a way to shorten the time iOS decides to go unresponsive during animations and transitions. Would be nice if there were someone useful around.

  • Dont be so useless. Someone tell me how can i fix this problem. I found that its iOS that is forcing the animations on me, if i tap anywhere before the animations/transitions are finished it doesnt register the tap, same retard method as WP8 uses, the OS simply does not respond while doing animations and thats hard getting used to, its inefficient and feels slow (not nearly as bad as WP though). For example when i bring up the keyboard, it doesnt take long but its enough of a transition to make the system unresponsive just long enough ignore the first tap. Same happens when i use the appswitcher and bring up a running app, have to wait till its all the way up on the screen before it accepts input. Really stupid, Android and BlackBerry OS is so much better this way. How to fix this? Can i turn off animations? Speed them up? Pls no replys from fanboys who quote wikipedia about things he know nothing and "my dad has da fastest ram omfg"

  • "Low RAM killed it".. lol. Wiki A7 chip. You discover its fastest RAM available on the market.. with twice the channel bandwidth of all other chip makers. Only recently qualcomm is trying to catch up. I ask you a simple question: 500GB harddisk is faster then 120GB harddisk? Ans: NO!. Capacity have nothing to do with speed, simply you can hold more stuff in memory thats all. And do you have any idea how much memory is needed per OS? No? then don't complain. You either have a fake iPad air, or use a lousy developed app on app store.

  • Bought ipad air, its good, much better than Android tablets. Seriously, android on tablets should be banned. However, air, and iOS being smooth and fluid is a big lie, theres plenty of lag to annoy you, much more than you find in high end android devices like Xperia Z. I never believed ios was as smooth as the fans claim but still surprised. Put focus to a text input field and start typing immediately and often the first key press is not registered. So performance is a big disappointment but the rest is great, for now. BlackBerry 10 is the fastest and smoothest os i have used on dual core, faster than most quad core androids, but ios doesnt impress, i guess the low ram is killing it, BlackBerry 10 phones have 2 GB, maybe thats why they are so much faster and smoother.

  • Hi everyone.. Im using ipad air and currently having some troubles with my ipad air. There's this blue thin line across the ipad and i dont really know what is the cause of this problem. Initially, when i bought the ipad everything works fine but however, when i turned off my ipad and on it again the blue thin line appearing.. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thank you

  • Hi there.. I got some problems with my ipad air, there's this thin blue thin line across the ipad and i dont know wha is the cause of this problem. Initially when i bought the ipad everything's fine but however, when i turn it off and on it again the blue line appearing.. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thank you

  • Imaps direction is also not working (UAE), so what is the use of imaps?, only for display?. having an apple is totally disappointment to me...

  • Seriously?! You're having trouble with syncing iDevices with iTunes?! Man, you only have to plug in your device and open iTunes then hit sync. You can uncheck whatever data you don't want to have on your device. And syncing only takes a few minutes. It's as easy as that! You can even sync over WiFi. What is wrong with you, man? :DDDDDD Btw, the keyboard's great. I don't have a hard time using one on my iPad Air and even on the iPhone 4s.

  • Camera... Nooooo....!!!!!

  • perfect....

  • Why? Whats wrong with iTunes / Keyboard? iTunes nowadays is not mandatory, nor is putting data on iPad requires itunes. And even if you use it, its easy, one press of sync.. ur device is backup.. And u can restore it on any other iDevices with just a click of a button. i have my iPhone 3gs's data on my iPhone 5s.. can u say the same for any android devices? Android = clean slate every 2 years ... no way to backup as efficiently. And the reason u can have multiple keyboards on android shows how inefficient the stock one is.

  • Ease and functionality isnt the first that comes to mind when using iDevices, especially the keyboard is infinite inefficient and troublesome and by itself a very good reason to not buy iOS. Then iTunes, the true opposite of "Ease and functionality", thats like matter vs antimatter. The thing is that all in all one have to admit that iOS sux less than Android on tablets, gaming performance for example. On a phone i take Android over iOS any day, neither of them are as good as BlackBerry 10 though.

  • You can't. iPad's not a phone. The sim is merely for data connection purposes (i.e. for internet connection if there's no WiFi availability).

  • My iPad Air crashed once (when I was playing Real Racing, Batman while charging the device and I tried to minimize one). Of course, the device was freakin' hot (literally). It hanged in the middle of minimizing. Batman then I had to reset the device. It hadn't crashed ever since.

  • Apple devices are simplistic, yes, but this doesn't mean that people who own Apple devices don't like to think much. Apple device owners just don't get some of the overrated features of Android. Ease and functionality are what matters instead of those.

  • Dude, iPad is NOT a phone. The description of this device is all over the specifications page. I guess you could've checked that before buying one instead of blaming the device or the company.

  • The camera has no flash. After all, Apple does not expect you to use this device for actual picture-taking.

  • Dude, iPad is not a phone. Imagine how you'd look ridiculous if you actually use it to text/call someone. Before you buy something, be sure to check the specs and all the things the device could offer you, and please, avoid saying negative things if you failed to do so.

  • it's not a phone... if you want to talk buy an iPhone...

  • lmfao!!

  • I'm quite happy with my Ipad Air, I would say it's only for those who are into good looks and premium feel. people are moaning that it doesn't take good selfies, grow up why would you want to take a picture of your ugly face for? It is really good to use and fast, I think if it was cheaper allot of people would get it but too expensive for most.

  • Its my first time to buy apple product but I'm very very very disappointed, 3G / LTE.cellular but no mobile function... I expected same as Andriod...

  • iPad does not come with flash. They do not want you to take pictures in the dark :P You might drop it accidentally and blame them. So you can only selfie at night using the front camera and the light from your ipad screen.

  • no it's ios 7 people are just trolling here

  • Hello, I am using apple air, but I wonder why I cannot see flash on the camera?does this apple air comes with flash on the camera. Pls I need explanation in respect of this.

  • Why not torrent using your PC? Your data plan will not survive your downloading. Let alone your small 16gb internal storage or 64 sd slots. Whats wrong with the launcher? I have over 160 apps, and i can see all my notifications / time / date / battery / status / network / updates in one screen.. and i bet no matter how you tweak or change your androids.. even with custom iOS7 launcher for android, you can never do the above stated.

  • Can i download torrent without jailbreak ?how to chg launcher like nova launcher and apex launcher ?

  • Just compare their resolution, u will get the answer

  • Does I pad Air has the same display type (retina) as I pad 4?

  • it happened with me 2 times.but now its working fine .dont worry .this is very good tablet i have ever seen.very good speed and no effect of how many apps you have downloaded.

  • ya ofcourse you can run android 4.4 kitkat. and also you can download all android app from playstore..go ahead.and buy.lol

  • You better go with iPad air... You can do anything you like... Apart from calling:(

  • No but you are actually able to download and make your own operating system to the tablet, its a really cool feature that is only available to Apple

  • its an android? i know its ios7

  • Yes its Android 4.4.2 and you can freely download movies and music and play them on this one, supports all audio/video formats and you never have to pay for anything, everything is free forever. Good luck =)

  • Completely wrong, there are also delaying by apple products even on same countries but different GSM providers and phone models. You don't need to lie, don't misslead people. itsn't matter how good phones apple makes, truth never changes and allways the goodest one. Apple make phones for his customers, who likes simplicity and the basic things. For short: Who doesn't to think too much... That is why apple ecosystem is chained and secured/locked and possibilities are limited by Apple self. On the other side... Android provides you everything, and the posibilities are limited by user self... Now, Yes a good iphone 5s shielded with aluminum case and equipped 64 bit processor (for manipulation 1 gb ram:) ) and also incredible fingerprint sensor... And, Samsung or Lg or Sony hasn't metal enforcements and may be not 64 bit processor. But... These phones are your own, you have tooo many options and too many functions. A simpe example is connecting an USB drive and watching movies on tv wirelessly or just playing game! Be objective, be yourself!

  • is the crashing issues of ipad air true? does your air crashes a lot?

  • Yes Apple devices get updates at the same time in every country there are no regional restrictions and newest updates s are guaranteed.

  • No the new update removes that just updated it to BlackBerry OS 10 now and lag has improved with this.new update.

  • Hy every one. I want your suggestions please, I want the IPHONE 5S and the new IPAD AIR, but I cant have the two of them at thesame time, I can get one in 3weeks or may be 4weeks. After may be 3-4months I can get the other one but which one should I get first. Thanks :)

  • Hy every one. I want your suggestions please, I want the IPHONE 5S and the new IPAD AIR, but I cant have the two of them at thesame time, I can get one in 3weeks or may be 4weeks. After may be 3-4months I can get the other one but which one should I get first. Thanks :)

  • There is no need to buy media from itunes. You can download VLC for ipad and connect your ipad to your laptop.....open itunes on your laptop.....browse to your ipad and goto vlc......now u can copy movies, songs etc from your laptop etc to vlc and watch/listen on your ipad.

  • thers no such thing....m using ipad 2 16 gb wi-fi....and iphone4s...u can't download full movies and songs..

  • This is the first time i have bought an apple product. Can anyone help me in advising the best app to dowmload music/movies on ipad as it costs money if its done through itunes

  • Seriously?

  • does this device running android 4.4??

  • is this device running android 4.4?

  • Honestly? you call yourself 'technologically enlightened'? there was no downgrade on the processor side my friend...actually it was a major upgrade...it is the only processor in the market which is a 64-bit one...do u even know how smoothly iOS will run on it? plus in terms of raw processing power nothing can beat the apple A7 chip...it is simply the best...don't go by clock speeds...there is much to a processor than only clock speeds

  • Plz help Recently I bought an ipad from Malaysia , I am living in india Wil I b getting updates regularly Wat about the device warranty

  • Can we install floppy bird?

  • i had this ipad it is very nice

  • It started charging last night without any difficulty..I am confused what the problem is?? Do i have to get it fixed at Apple store?

  • The best gaming tablet out there.. but what i love the most is it design.. so elegant .. XD

  • Don't create misleading information

  • iPad 4 is great

  • iPad air is better, speed/weight/size/battery backup/battery recharge time. Only thing iPad 4 is good.. cheaper.

  • Hello guys ..ihave to choose brtween ipad 4 or 5 ..i need ur help plz.. Which is better??

  • I have an ipad 2 and my friend has an iPas air and comparing the wieghts iPad 2 is lighter than iPad air, plus it was faster with the same internet conection and at the same distance

  • Your power supply have to be at least 1A plus to have it charged. - Car charger might not be enough.. - PC usb power might not output enough. - Normally need direct power from mains. Else you have to turn off ipad to charge. Its same with all large devices.. like asus tablet/ samsung notes / ipads /

  • Can I Call Like A regular Phone

  • Bought an ipad last week..charge lasted for a week but when i tried charging it last night..it wouldnt get charged..not sure if the problem is with charger or ipad..has anyone faced this issue ??

  • you can make calls man

  • I inserted sim for my iPad air and I don know how to call from it can any one give a solution for it.. Or we can't cal from it or what

  • Does ipad air support USB OTG (pendrive) to view the files...

  • Might have being made by LG. Its still the best tablet out there period! See the difference of a product when its "designed by apple in California" It might be "Made in China". But its the only "Made in China" premium product! haha.. jealous? When you go to a restaurant, you never ask who is the farmer who grow the good food.. its the chief that made it good!

  • New Apple Ipad in 2014 wainting in biggest dimensions 12-14 inch with certainly "Retina+IGZO" display !!!

  • Just bought this yesterday in nigeria with about 800 usd. So smooth and fast like a core i5 PC...nothing beats apple! The 64 bit processor is doing a wonderful job here..I love apple products

  • ... before you trolls start fuming, ur iphone is 640 pixel... I am not referring to your tablets, also made by lg.

  • Apple: Dear Samsung, please consider fabricating for us a quad core chip so that we may be in tune for year 2008, as of now we are still in year 2005. Apple: Dear LG, please consider selling us 720 pixel lcd, because as of now even India has 720 pixel as minimum, and yet we are stuck up with 640 pixel era of year 2000. Apple: Dear Toshiba, when will you be able to sell us random access memory chips at least 1.5gb. As of now we are stuck with Samsung 1gb ram and supplies are running low because Samsung is supplying these chips to phone companies in India. Apple: Dear Android, will you be able to let us borrow more of your designs. Please Android, we are already being left behind by about two decades. Apple: Dear Rio Tinto, we are appealing to your good self to sell us aluminum to build our cases, because as of now, we are stuck with recycled die cast metal painted with aluminum paint to build them. Apple: Dear apple troll, ante the media hype, keep up the good work.

  • no Apple device support Microsoft software. Adobe is not working neither, you have alternatives

  • True

  • do this tablet support ms office and pdf files?

  • Nice tablet,the best. I love it

  • its gud model ..now i used it ...

  • My Ipad Air got 7.0.6 version update just now at 9.45 pm India standard time at Hyderabad, India. It's about 32 Mb. It says some SSL security certificate update.

  • Another recycled ipad 3, less the bulk equals ipad air plus super price equals apple, equals no sales except pure gimmick hype equals down apple shares

  • 1. Dual core - Yet the fastest response tablet out there. 2. 16gb minimum - Yet there is a 128gb version that have the highest internal storage of any tablets. 3. 5 mp back cam - Yet it took pictures better then any tablet class with 8 mp. 4. 264 ppi - Yet it matches all high end resolution tablets in terms of color / sharpness and accuracy. Tip for you: Go to a shop and hold the REAL thing for yourself.. instead of looking at pure specs. There is a reason why this is still the King of tablets and people still buy it despite the price.

  • This is not ipad its flop pad whats new in it , 16 gb without card slot cant think 32gb can buy 64 must find 128 not availabl everywhere and high price, second same 5mp and low front camera with dual core 1.3 at this price must be hardly penta core which imposible octa core cant thing and quard core which shoud be then 299ppi expected 411 or 300+ and last retina display with gorila glass 3 os 2

  • aesthetic but no SMS support

  • dear sir it a nice specification but due to some condition is has to be a memory slot to expand a memory as a our choice...... thank you....!!

  • No it's Iris display.

  • Is this iPad Air retina display?

  • ah my mistake i just mistook it as airdrop doesn't exist on macs

  • I have a Macbook pro 13 inch

  • Have you owned a Mac before?... I owned 3 macs, so i know. Here is the limitation of airdrop now: 1. iOS with Mac = not possible 2. Mac with iOS = not possible 3. iOS with iOS = possible 4. Mac with Mac = possible - Regardless of Mac Mavericks. (10.9) or iOS 7. Thats why i hope next version of iOS / OSX support airdrop with each other.

  • yes but you have to be updated to OSX

  • Apple iPad Air 128GB is perfect

  • No.. only between selected iOS7 devices only.

  • Airdrop with Mac already exists

  • Green onion!.. i always use green onion.

  • This is so beautiful and seamlessly to use. I'm very happy with my Ipad Air.

  • This is so beautiful and seamlessly to use. I'm very happy with my Ipad Air.

  • Hi guys, which screen protector do you recommend? Would prefer anti scratch and cheap. Thank you.

  • It's not that simple. You could use software like splashtop to use your laptop through your ipad, but actually installing a full-blown windows 8.1 won't work so well because an iPad isn't strong enough to do it. installing something like RT would work, but you'd have to go through some questionable sources, which I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention...

  • Ipad air runs on iOS.It cannot run windows 8.1

  • Can we download windows 8.1 in i pad air.

  • i got my iphone 5, ipad 4 ipod nano and ipad mini but when i bought this Ipad air its so elegant and beautiful so lite it just 1 pound i carry it to the gym to the market and to my office its fantastic thanks aple

  • Top quality product.

  • So happy, got iPad air 64 GB IT IS AWESOME, So loyal to beloved apple

  • Hope next ipad will have :- 1. Airdrop with Mac 2. Thunderbolt to lightning connector (docking with thunderbolt display) 3. Bluetooth mouse support Then an release of keyboard/mouse games!!

  • ipad air 16GB--wifi or cellular..which one is better??

  • It is only possible to make facetime calls as the ipad air will have a data sim and the function to call is not built into the device

  • i am thinking to get mini retina 32 gb or ipad air 16 gb which is better

  • Your comment made me laugh so hard. Where read this fiction that you can put IOS on a n android when you root it. If that happened the claims that IOS is closed source would be invalid.

  • Is it possible to call from ipad air with celluer

  • is wifi version support usb modem or not ?

  • does version wifi only support usb modem or no ? as have usb slot

  • well friends i have ipad air but i m not happy because its not that much fast then ipad4 so i request u don't buy this model buy the old one ipad4 that is better and as a speed is very very nice even u have a low low internet speed i hope u all got it

  • Find it in AppStore!

  • Should i get ipad air as i already have iphone 5s. Kindly suggest me.

  • Pleasefollow manual book of this device

  • How do I get whatsapp on my iPad air, can someone help?

  • How do I get whatsapp on my iPad air, can someone help?

  • I have i pad 4 n its awosam

  • what are the difference between mini ipad to ipad air?

  • whats d diffrence between d ipad4 n ipad air aside ipad air is thinner?doesn't it have a flash?its useless in d dark..

  • It is not the tablet. Its iPad. You should use it first, and then make comments

  • it,s amazing

  • You do realize that iPads are tablets too, right?

  • iPad Air is best Tablet I have used. It has best battery back-up and ease of operation is just awesome. Games and apps experience is best in iPad. I also awn an Androud Tab. Android tabs have advantage of microSD card and can play movies of most formats with ease. in iPad however we have to convert the movie first and copy it through itunes from a computer/laptop. iPad is worth its cost

  • Without doubt...

  • IPad is the best and way better then tablet.

  • Not just good. Best battery, best viewing, best gesture support, best sleep wake feature, best game/app enjoyment, and best weight to size ratio. But its a premium device, make sure you already have enough money for phone and PC/Mac before you consider this. The other one that comes close is samsung's 2014 edition 10.1 tablet, heavier, less battery backup, harder to navigate and lack of optimised tablet apps.. but cheaper and is a all in one device.. consider the LTE version.

  • Hi please help me to buy the ipad air It is good????

  • The lack of android tablet optimised apps & the android pain to navigate is the reason for iPad's success. Android have awesome launchers, but the apps are bloated phone versions. The navigation is horrible also.. the 3 software keys / or the 3 hardware buttons is a pain to press in 10 inch formfactor unless you have 3 arms. If you have rooted your tablets, you should install GMD GestureControl, you know what you are missing all those great navigation gesture already on the iPad.

  • No, I don't agree with you. For tasks such as reading an ebook or wathing videos, larger screen of a tablet is more suitable. Taking notes with an S-Pen (Samsung Note 2014) is also better done in an 10 inch display.

  • Yes i do agree with you, instead of tablet you can go for a fablet like galaxy note 3, xperia z,galaxy s4, windows mobile - lumia 1520 or metal body htc one max which have nice cameras compared to tablets. If you fell like android is waste you can root your android phones and put ios into it or you can make partition of it and use android, ios simultaneously, hmm many people don't know this so they still go for iphone and ipads which have less performance than android phones. I suggest better go with samsumg because we have lot of customization options not only that we can find lot number of features. Present leading(benchmark results) smart phone is samsung galaxy round even better than note 3.

  • Not use because got new iPad, not because it is useless. iPad destroy old casual PC using.. never did wait 5 mins for PC to bootup just to browse web anymore.

  • ios has no back button and overall ios is the worst operating system ............... i just waste my money.

  • Thats what im saying, people have tablets and are feeling pressured to buy one if they dont have already but they end up collecting dust. I regret buying tablet, its utterly useless for someone who have an ok smartphone with reasonable display size (4 inch is not reasonable size, maybe thats why iphone owners use tablets more than Android phone owners). Now my daughter want iPad Mini w.Retina, i take the chance since its smaller and hopefully isnt as useless and wasted as a regular iPad or 10 inch androids. I suggested she buy a 5 inch phone instead, much better for games and browsing, a true all in one device but kids, and girls in particular, dont want to be practical, trends matters more. For adults i think a combination of the hype, lack of knowledge and unrealistic expectations is the main driving force for buying tablets. For iphone owners its the need for a bigger display device, obviously a 4 inch phone is not a viable all in one device.

  • It mostly depends on which size you prefer.

  • Why?The performance is amazing already.

  • Apple must have improve RAM for next gen

  • But I get stuck in dilemma :-(

  • I still have iPad first gen. It still have the same godly battery.. I never use it.. so i just have to charge it 12 times per year. Thats 1 charge good for 1 mth standby ;D. It still receive notification & stuff from apps. So i will not worry about battery so much.

  • Maybe your not closing some of the apps that you use and everything is running on multitasks. it would help if you close some of the apps before you use another app. ro do a reboot like all electronic devices. my Air is great and really fast. better double check your Air maybe its fake one.

  • Regular Calls or sms no, you can't. you can use Skype calls,Skype Video, iMessage, FaceTime, viber, etc. Just buy a Regular Phone for calling and Texting.

  • Video lags on chat is not a hardware issue. it depends on your wifi or data connection that you use.

  • Well so far the battery life of the Air is great, been using it for two months now for Skype,iMessage,Browsing and etc. At the end of the day i still have 40 % of the battery, with Wifi only. if i use it outside with the Data Sim usually it would ended up 20 %. but that is already impressive with a heavy user like me. the Question is how long with it stay that way. battery life issue is very common to all electronics just buy yourself an extra charger to bring with you anywhere.

  • both iPad Air and Mini 2 are good, Since the mini 2 is on retina screen. it looks great on a smaller screen. but if you wear reading glasses, i think the Air is for you because its bigger. I got the Air because it was a bigger change from the iPad 4. Its way Faster, And it feels great While holding it with the smaller Bezel. and it very thin. the only change happen on the mini 2 was the speed and retina screen. but still a worthy change if you decide to get the mini 2.

  • Data only, no support for voice or sms over cellular on Apple tablets but you can call and message with Skype, Viber, Whatsapp and whatever you like as long as its using the data connection.

  • Same question here, buying for my daughter, cant decide. How is battery life of Air, anyone? I find it hard to believe that the smaller battery doesnt affect usage time compared to ipad 3 and 4.

  • Could you help me which one is better? Ipad Air or Mini 2

  • i love my ipad air. Im playing so hard call of duty, fifa 14 and kingdom rush hd, best apps and games are here. The display is amazing.

  • the ipad air wifi and cellular can i used it as a phone like calling and sending sms using as a prepade

  • Yes.

  • it has no lag of video chat !

  • Face time????????

  • You should but the cellular model to be able to insert sim cards but again you wouldn't be able to call someone or send SMS to someone.But you can chat with others via iMessage,Yahoo messenger,Viber,Skype and so on.And you can have a video call via skype,Facetime and so on.

  • Don't joke.A7 chip is one of the most powerful chips in the world and maybe the most powerful.

  • Restore your device.Maybe this problem will be fixed.

  • You can make calls to other apple users via facetime

  • If this is true why are you so happy about it -.-

  • hey guys can i make call????????????

  • same here, i was thinking the same thing :))

  • my ipad air closes apps and i can't open 70% of apps WTF? i use to love apple and defend ios agains android but not now.

  • i rather buy htc/sony/samsung product than apple. a5,,6a6,a7 what's all those chips all about? all rubbish.

  • goodssssssssssssssssssss

  • Only 1000, pesos difference bet. Ipadmini 2 and ipad air, so i suggest gi to ipod air, Fr...gadget retailer ,,,

  • It should be wifi + cellular not wifi only

  • The processor is actually clocked at 1,4 GHz

  • You may be able to swap it for a mini with cellular at your supplier but you will probably have to pay more cash. I never buy wifi only tablets because I want to have access to a network wherever I go. So be careful when you select devices and make sure you know what you are getting.

  • No you should have bought the Cellular version of the Air. You get it from the name Wifi only = just wifi. Cellular = cellular + wifi

  • No you should have bought the Cellular version of the Air. You get it from the name Wifi only = j

  • can i insert SIM card 3G in ipad Air wifi only and use it as aphon? or it should be with cellular?

  • You can use SIM Card internet in places you dont find wifi and call people as you do on your phone.

  • What psychology ? The psychology of Samsung that creates nicknames for IOS users so they feel bad for their product of choice ? Or the psychology of Samsung that makes you come to Apple related posts and bash them ? Which one ?

  • Great device. But we can already expect a finger print sensor to be the only new thing about tge ipad air 2 and mini 3.

  • What are the benefits of cellular version over wifi version even if one has wifi in own house?

  • What problem I may face if I get iPad Air only Wifi Version? (I have wifi in my house)

  • Go ipad air, ipad mini is quite slow

  • i am going to purchase an ipad.. but i am stuck in between ipad air and ipad mini 2.. any suggestion about that?

  • As long as the iPad is a cellular version,every app will run on the iPad

  • You have to buy the 4g version no tablet works with apps that require sim verification if you dont buy the 4g version with Sim.

  • Unlike the ipad mini which didnt support apps like whatsapp, I wanna know if the ipad air supports it?

  • can you make calls or send messages?

  • Apple needs to work harder and better on iOS.

  • i hope apple make new design and make something we cannot expected and impressed !!

  • its really nice

  • U just need to login in web and check which device u are login, delete all device except your device. best of luck.

  • Game Center is not so good. Someone stole account and play my account . I try to change password but they still my account without loggin, any help please.

  • liked ur view.thanxxxxxxxxxxx

  • I didnt insult blantanly or unnecessarily i just said the truth about a certain group of people. I didnt say all android fans are assholes. Im an android fan myself but on different aspects. I dont come and say Apple is pure crap or Android is pure crap without touching or testing one. Even so i dont insult the consumer or the user itself for owning one. I tell him what a POS he is for insulting the consumer or other people

  • I was passionately waiting this product of IPAD by reading the specification that it works on CDMA 3G EVDO for connection of internet. but When checked, found not working and only working in 3G GSM connection only. Do you have any idea whether it does work in CDMA 3G EVDO Rim?

  • I'm an Apple fan but you insulted a lot of people.Leave them alone.Maybe Samsung tablets or Asus tablets are better than iPad for their needs.

  • No.

  • I am also an android user but while android does the job the ipad air does it a whole lot better, this is what makes the difference. I really do love my ipad air.

  • can it support an external device like external hard drive or a pendrive?

  • great ipad air

  • Im an android user..but i must say this product is fantastic. Design and performance are best. Love this product

  • "Don't see why the ratings are this low?" Because no-one else doesnt care about those ratings than apple haters, they are almost the only one who rate these apple devices everytime, its very pathetic actually. Theres total hits 713519 yet theres only 166 votes, and those same votes have been there since launch.

  • you can use if you buy the 4g version. That is a matter of choice. Ofcourse you will have to pay more like all tablets

  • yes it is. People pls before commenting in a product you want to hate try it first or get your facts right.

  • There is no feature of phn only we can use data sim from which we previlaged the internet service only pls search

  • Phn feature is not availiable through sim support it will be good if this happen only data sim supported to use cellular data....

  • It will be far better if phn feature is added in ipad air n in mini only it is eg for us to use.

  • I suggest if there is phone feature in ipad mini n air it will be good it is small an can carry any where and can phn through airphones .i think then the product will sell more

  • apple is one and only which thinks for forward this tablet is best do not think how it will be think if you didnt you bought what you will be.

  • because the ratings are made mostly by people who hate apple not by people who actually touched an apple product.They feel the need to bash apple products so they can feel better about themselves and their products of choice. So basically a massive insecurity psychological problem with a big majority of Android users like kids who feel the need to insult someone and his/her toys just to feel that his/her toys are better.

  • This tablet is awesome, coming from a long time Android user. It's quick and just makes sense to use. Sometimes I will try to do something little like print, and it's so easy... On android it was like pulling teeth. Most often I wonder where the power is coming from, dual core with motion co-processor doesn't sound like much.. But it is. Another thing is that I thought I would miss swipe of android, but the touch sensitivity is awesome! Don't see why the ratings are this low??

  • Do tablets useful for business? ?

  • Although i'm using an ipad mini now, I am planning to get the ipad air 32gb or 64gb probably this month. I've read alot about the new ad ons and specs from the other sites and blogs and just to seal the deal, I told myself to check the reviews from GSM Arena. What I got here is more like the world war of IOS vs Android. Now don't get wrong, I am not bias with the IOS system and I do own an Android phone and a family member owns a samsung tablet, but man, Apple products is way above better and an excellent product over the best Android system out there. No comparison, period!

  • you people talking about how apple should allow micro sd expansion, stating that its so straight forward and Apple only doesnt include it for profit purposes (btw, I agree that Apple make a killing on storage upgrades), I would suggest that this isnt the main reason. All you have to do is look at android and the mess that is memory card support. Some things can go on the sd, some things cant. Oh I will only buy a small storage device and get a sd card later if I need one, oh wait no, I cant install apps to my SD card and now I have insufficient storage. Bottom line, Apple hate complexity for the user, they just want things to work, an SD card could be used to store ALL data on, it would not expand your storage, its a different pool of storage only used for certain things. Not the answer. Here's to hoping Apple will at some point lower storage increase prices

  • Ignorance strikes again. Episode 2. Who told you Ipads dont have what you call : "call feature". That has existed since the first gen Ipad. P.S: How much do they pay you to make these fake reviews ?

  • iPad have no call feature, so apple people have to buy iPhone. iPhone have flash light. All the iDevices you see each serve their single niche purpose,this is just looting people,s money. very poor marketing.

  • You can buy an Ipad with sim card tray. Everybody knows this.In fact this has been available since the first gen Ipad.And the others have followed Apple's lead. You can get only wifi model or 4G model with sim. Why are you so ignorant ?

  • iPad have no call feature, so apple people have to buy iPhone. iPhone have flash light. All iDevices you see each serve their single niche purpose, they NEVER overlap, and they compliment each other.. there is no "universal" do it all device, not because they can't but they can max profit and provide clear cut solutions. iOS all apps are sandbox, they do not have a shared file manager or browser. So having expansion means nothing. When using iProducts, you do not need to think. They already think it for you, just follow what they designed it, if no.. forget it or don't buy. If you go against the flow in apple products, like trying to use it like your old XP PC.. or old ways of bluetooth connect, you will only get annoyed.

  • Obviously sarcasm is lost on you.

  • where i can find the document viewer? as stated above there is a document viewer?

  • where can i find the document viewer?

  • Speak for yourself

  • the version very so lag..and the battery fast use finish.than the display so same cina phone..no like..

  • IPad Air was already selling extremely well, but it definately got big boost from black friday sales going to be interesting to hear the sales numbers in january.

  • Because iPad doesnt have camera flash while iPhone have. But you can get flashlight out of iPad by puttng brightness 100% and show the white picture. Its big bright screen :D

  • yes it can run on the speed your LTE router gives. wifi connection supports up to 300mbps bandwidth, whereas LTE alone is only 100mbps.

  • Question here. I have iPad air wifi only version, and I'm planning to have an LTE router for my iPad. Do you think my iPad can run the speed LTE can offer? Thanks...

  • Yes I agree. Micro SD slot is a game changer. But I think the only reason why Apple does not put microSD slots on ipad/iphones is that they will lose profit on ipad with higher capacities. You know the increment in capacity (16,32,64,128), only adds about $2-$7 in manufacturing cost and they can sell them for additional $100 per capacity step up. If microSD slot is on ipads, people will just buy 16 or 32GB models and buy a high capacity microSD for only $20.

  • Yes even i have the same concern! Apple should give place for memory card. They should try to compete with competitors.

  • always go with new version if can afford the price

  • Well the fact that Apple products are expensive for you does not have anything with their quality and performance. Samsung products are totally in a different level and I believe Apple is still the leader in performance and quality between all other manufaturers. Please stop saying irrational facts regarding electronic devices and try to act like a professional when you want to review a device.

  • Why is it that ipad does not have flash light and memory slot, because is really giving pple concern?

  • such grammer much incorrect many ignorant wow

  • till today, Apple far from the competition when it comes to tablets, Ipad runs perfect and it has more and better apps quality than Android Tablets. I highly recommend Apple when it comes to tablet, "of course if you are OK with price"

  • You is the one I saw the bad mouth here. in Asia ppl here like Samsung because more powerful and much cheaper than iPhone very OVERPRICE !!!!!! you know buddy... I can bought Yamaha Jupiter Z1 a motorbike with the price exactly same as iPhone 5S Prices !!!!!

  • In Europe and Asia Samsung got in trouble (fined - and they admitted it) by paying students to get on forums, badmouth the forum's device and praise Samsung's devices. Is there any reason that sort of thing wouldn't be going on here?

  • .

  • No this is way better than the ipad 4 i have the ipad 4

  • Dear friend I want to inform all iphone users just dont believe the comments here because most of comments here is against to the apple its posting by samsung users i don't know why they want to do this? if they dont like apple just dont buy it, we are happy with our apple products, i am using iphine since 2009 still i am using lots of apple products like mac pro, imac, mac air, ipad 4 and ipad air iphone 5 and 5s i am happy with all this product and its so useful and lovely products ever because of samsung users comments i buy a s4 and used i can say lots of options are there and its all good and i like it but the OS adriod is really mad.. sometime after taking pictures its comes hang then we need restart the phone its all bcos of adriod OS. Anyway a person who use apple and change to adriod they feel irritated its only because adriod is not at all user friendly.

  • I went to the comments section to read user experiences. But I got disappointed because there are more bashers than actual users. I have an iPad 2 and I've been using it for 1.5years. The only thing i didn't like about the iPad 2 is its weight. It's not yet officially released in my country so I haven't personally tried this device and I actually wanna hear some comments from people who have this device. I really don't get why fandroids are being so sensitive with this device. If you didn't like this device, it's probably not meant for you and apple doesn't care.

  • not bad

  • ipad 4 is much batter than this ....

  • honey singh's blue eyes is jst too gud....but d person chatin wid honeysinghs name is for sure a person who has not even handled d phone

  • The question here is: why would you buy clumsy heavy big iPad 4? Of course you buy the iPad Air!

  • nice

  • The question here is: why would you buy clumsy heavy big iPad 4? Of course you buy the iPad Air!

  • buy ipad Air

  • The cellular model of iPad Air works on 2G and 3G and 4G.

  • buy galaxy note 10 2014

  • which one will i choose to buy i pad air or ipad 4 now? please answer me

  • Anyone here with the ipad air, I wanna hear your taughts on the screen, look to see if there is any yellow tint anywhere.

  • No

  • Can any body tell , this device working on 2G+3G cellular???????????

  • Well, it's absolutely worth it because of a lot of things. If you have time, check out reviews on Google, it has received a lot of positive feedback.

  • Try sailfish os on jolla

  • is there a flash on the rear camera??? pls advise thanks..

  • Again please dont be a victim of companies mind and speech games. First you should know that being able to support more than 4 gb ram is a feature of 64bitbuilt chips not the purpose of it. 64 bit chips improve speed,support for complicated apps that can mimic full programs on computers but in a whole different mobile form factor not just copy and paste which all should agree that ios has the best best apps and by that i mean professionaly built apps.Android has a lot of apps but as you might agree they are not always intuitive or.take full advantage of the screen,processor etc. The thing you have heard about 64 bit chip and that i should have 4 gb to work is invalid because that statement was made by qualcomm which the next day said it was a mistake they did on the interview and said they will be building for itself in the future and after two weeks they fired their employee who said the things about 64 bit architecture and 4gb . Next im surprised that nobody knows that before Motorola Atrix that had fingerprint scanner there has been another phone the HTC Shift with that.And before them there have been laptops with it.And nobody of them had a good one they didnt work well.Look at the 5s you can open the phone in an instant and never fails to recorgnize. So the notion that Apple copied Motorola is totally wrong. Apple copied technology. There is a thing apple somehow copied from google.Its the new safari on ios 7 . I love costumization on Android and what they did with widgets by bringing them in the homepage but i also love how ios mever lets you down on the tasks you give it . The perfect OS according to me would be a cross between Android costumization of widgets and IOS apps + stability

  • I LOVE IT!!!! is it worth to buy? please reply

  • I didn't say that Apple weren't innovative, I said they aren't anymore. And they haven't been since the resignation of Steve Wozniac... Nah that's an exaggeration, they haven't been innovative since the death of Steve jobs. Yes, the ipad air has a processor that can address more than 4GB of memory (which is useless if you have 1GB) and yes Apple followed the tracks of Motorola by implementing a fingerprint scanner on a smartphone. But you're right about the multi touch screen, but that was before the death of Steve jobs back when they were vaguely innovative.

  • One of the features of iOS 7 was that it's compatible with game controllers and soon there would be controllers for iDevices too.

  • GSMArena please help double confirm. Checking from iFixit, found that iPad mini 2 & iPad Air battery now equipped with Li-Ion battery (instead of premium Li-Po battery for all past Apple product). But spec still show Li-Po, can anyone confirm which is right?

  • nice Phone osome hdst about Apple iPad Air

  • Yes because 64 bit architecture is no upgrade at all.you seem either to be a samsung paid reviewer or just a crybaby who has insecurity issues and needs to bash others to gain it.but hey thats Samsung's way bash because we cant be as smooth as apple. Even you cant imstall apps from pages on the net you have to root to do that. The questio you forgot to ask was... Can your IOS device get viruses and crashed like my android ?

  • hahahah lyes pretty sure .. what the hell are you talking about.. most android fans nowdays love to go to apple pages and bash them when they have never had the chance to hold one.. i guess they need to reassure themselves they got the best device and even them arent consiously sure if they have so to make that insecurity go they say with their mind : Do i have the best device ? No im not sure. I know lets bash apple and im certain i will feel better even though inever have had the possibility to use one of their products... Todays ithas become a new trend to bash Apple fueled by Samsung which in all their adverts they are trying to get people who use apple to feel bad for owning them. Samsung 's strategy since the beginning was this : Can we make a better product and sell millions ? Oh no we cant but the only way to make us popular is to make people feel bad for owning apple products.Lets do that and spend millions on anti apple adverts and pay people to make fake reviews on the net. I would definitely would love to see your old Xperia which "has" 64 bits architecture built v8 chip. You people are blind from Samsung influence hell tou are even making them a favor of doing fake reviews on the net. Apple implemented 64 bits chip on a smartphone,apple implemented a full fledged fingerprint scanner on a 5s,apple reinvented the modern multitouch on mobile devi, the reason why you use pinch to zoom is apple. But now even if apple invents a hyperspace passage through time you will be like nah there is no much innovation. Dont get me wrong : Android is a very good alternative too.Windows phone is a great third alternative too which im hoping to bring us the third major platform of mobile OSs we deserve. im just tired of mindless unnecessary bashing. Be a fan of technology not a blind fan of brands.BUT NO IN THE INTERNET EVERYONE BECOMES AN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ENGINEER

  • King soft office mate. Get your facts straight before you talk.

  • I'm fairly certain that everyone who owns an android device has tried an ios device before because loads of people have iPhones and Apple stores are everywhere. But a few smart souls saw through the bullshit of Apple and saw that android devices are king. Also, I didn't develop android and neither did you therefore you can't just simply say "my android", you say "my android phone" or "my android device". And every device crashes occasionally. I've had my Sony xperia s for 6 months (picked it up for 200 aud after its discontinuation) and its only crashed twice while playing gangstar rio with a ps3 controller. By the way the Sony xperia s is a couple of years old now and all its specs (processor, screen, camera, ram is on par) are superior to those of the iPhone 5s. Just goes to show that Apple isn't innovative anymore.

  • If you're a heavy gamer you should get a nexus tablet because they're very cheap considering their unmatched power and you'll be able to connect a controller.

  • And do you know why ios requires less ram? BECAUSE IOS REALLY SUCKS FAIR AND SQUARE. They've brainwashed you into buying their junk and if you re-read your comment you'll notice that you no longer know how to spell properly because of Apple. Ios doesn't have Swype texting. Also I bet you can't change your Mac address in order to get past Mac address filters on ios (requires root but you can't even do it on jailbrocken ios). Can you connect a ps3 controller to ios devices? Can you connect ntfs formatted storage to ios devices? Can you download apps from the internet and install them on ios? Can you change your boot animation on ios? And can I just mention that android does not require more ram, it just runs smoother with more ram and so would ios. But sadly Apple is just too proud to upgrade its specs. And we all know that pride always comes before a fall.

  • ios isnt resource hungry and thus it doesnt require much memory to work because it knows what you close on the bacground and you never run out of memory like others even though the capacity is smaller and also it has DDR3 RAM which is more efficient than the normal RAM others use.

  • has a little memory.. others have 2 Gb

  • Thanks and so iphone 5s owners are happy with playing mc4 and nova 3 games

  • Because the resolusion and the display of ipad are much bigger than the iphone, which means ipad is required to do more work to full its huge screen with its so many pixels.

  • King of tablet..

  • it's i pad fire!!!

  • Ows really? Why don't you try it to play TV live channel streaming from the website ilive.to? Let's see Doc!

  • Come on droidboys flash videos work fine on iPads and iPhones :/ stop giving lame excuses !!

  • hahahah left behind ? If what you mean by left behind is making more hyped plastic that will fall apart after a month then yes i think it has left behind. Samsung makes apple chips ? Im amazed by this kind of ignorance by you. The whole process is Apple Engineering and they use Samsung grounds and machinery to produce what they want. So kind of like rent. You borrow the machineries but it still yours. Thats why Apple is buttery smooth in every action hardware wise and software wise and Samsung isnt.

  • O.K., this sure is faster and smoother than my android tablet (my wife's iPad 3 already is) but still I wouldn't trade it for the ability to download torrents straight to my device, stream my favorite sports flash based events, and accessing the entire web.

  • iPad Air.

  • The power of a chip depends on it's design and Apple designs it's chips.

  • Lol that's not true. There are many more better tablets then ipad.

  • i dont understand:(( why iphone 5s gets trex 2.7 benchmark on screen 37 FPS, but ipad air gets 21 FPS WHY? WHY?

  • thats why android (samsung) left behind the iphone :) and by the way samsung makes the processors of iphon :D

  • Ipad mini2, Ipad Air or note 10.1 2014 LTE? I'm a heavy gamer.Thanks.

  • It's the best iPad so far. No tablets can beat iPad. And iPad air is amazing guys I love it.

  • MY hero. exactly android experience

  • No.It doesn't come.

  • i love how android apple hater fanboys come to apple product pages and bash them without dven having touched one of them but at the end of the day they go on google and search : " why did my android stopped workin,why did my android suddenly crash ?

  • Does it come with earphones?I didn't see any earphones in the package...

  • What gamer? Cavemen gamer (NES/PSX) go for android High quality game but poor man slow update games and poorer controls - nexus 7 2 High quality game with good control but play at home - ipad air High quality game with good control on the go - ipad mini / 2 Do not buy note 8.0 just for gaming. its a do it all product (sms/call/etc etc), and cost more then n7.

  • You hate Apple then you bought an IPad,and now you want to buy a note3??!? Paid Samsung commenter detected.

  • Best is ipad air hands down, dont settle on any tablets cheaper than ipad air

  • Yeah.

  • when it will b launched in malaysia apple store

  • Hi Ozir, even i m concerned about u torrent. i will let u know today or tomorrow, since i m going to get this iPad today through courier - just waiting for it anxiously

  • hey guys, please suggest me what tab should i buy? Ipad Air , Ipad mini 2, Samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1 P5220 or Samsung galaxy note 8.0. And i want to know what price of this tab in US dollar. help me guys.I am heavy gamer. Thanks.

  • Expand the picture of the iPad. You will notice there is no dialer app. but it does have facetime/imessages. So basically iPad cannot do GSM/ sim card sms or voice call. But it CAN do 4g/ internet VoIP like skype viber, with the exception of whatsapp (they do not allow devices that do not make call.. dumb IMO but you can hack to have it)

  • i like to buy this. but i have question can you download utorrent in ipad air? thank you so much..

  • can anyone help me? i like to buy this device but i only have one question. can you download utorrent in ipad air?

  • Obiviously ipad air!

  • can we make calls and send text messages using the apple ipad air?

  • Lol

  • hey guys... i am actually an android guy but my gf is in love with her iPhone 5... what should I get her for xmas... the iPad air caught my attention... what do you suggest? or maybe i get her the new 5s... or any other suggestions? thanks a lot...

  • The processor is actually, Dual-Core 1.4 GHz not 1.3 GHz

  • I can see you know what you talking about, thanks very much and where are you from?

  • Go to store and you find your answer, look one year old model black and white, or black and white iPhone test devices which people have tried, always the black one looks more new. Its common sense buy black shoes they are going to look black for long time, buy white shoes and well very likely they look dirty tomorrow. Of course the white Air doesnt look dirty tomorrow but every white iPhones i have seen doesnt look that good over time. White is very hard to keep clean. For black, well you dont need to do much, my old 4 years old iPhone 3GS still looks almost like a new, just like my old iPad 3. But its still matter of taste, buy the colour which you like more. My all iOS devices are black. I meant to buy white iPhone 5S but wasnt as white i thought it will be, so i chosed black iPhone again and also black iPad. Black iPad because the screen pops out more in my opinion. Also if you watch movies in dark you dont see black bezel, i bought my TV with black bezel for same reason.

  • Apple iPad Air users, please which colour is the best, in terms of visible scratches in using the iPad and it's ports, dirt and dust catching, beauty, looks etc.? Is it the Space Grey or the Silver colour? Please help me choose. Thank you all

  • Oh you are here too... Learn to use your device...

  • IMO Black yes black all the way. The classic color. Black iphone 5/ Black ipad mini / Black ipad air / Black iphone 5s Do not know why they call it space grey.. but anyway black is the best! No competition from gold hunters sure to have stock always.. and it hides scratches better..

  • Apple iPad Air users, please which colour is the best, in terms of visible scratches in using the iPad and it's ports, dirt and dust catching, beauty, looks etc.? Is it the Space Grey or the Silver colour? Please help me choose. Thank you all.

  • you could just use the correct app... using the browser is god awful

  • i own an ipad3. I cant even upload my cv/resume while applying for jobs, while browsing. What NONSENSE, a tablet that cannot upload an ordinary MSword document. CRAPPY OS only allows you to play games, videos, waste time lol.........why wouldn't it be faster than many android devices when it does almost nothing productive, mchew! hope i lay my hands on the new note 3. Please Samsung, provide us here in Nigeria with a samsung internet service just like BIS. that way, we can download more apps, with unlimited downloads at affordable prices. Thanks in advance, you're a better listener than these monopolistic, political, Barack Obama-partial, wicked CrApple. Silly excuses for phone/tablet manufacturers. mchew!!!!!!!!

  • does this have LED flash?

  • I don't know what's the use of a 5 mega pixel camera on the back of a tablet weighing 469 grams. I mean how can you take a picture from a lean and slim device weighing approx half kg.

  • I'm gonna buy it soon enough. :)

  • It has thumb rejection tech. if you grip the tablet, the tablet understands if you are touching it or holding it. So your hand can exceed the bezel width without worry of misclick.

  • I can offer only 200$ for these specs & that ugly design

  • i dont know if i buy Ipad Air from Tmobile store , Can i use AT&T or Any GSM carrier sim card on Tmobile Ipad Air ?

  • I don't know I can hold it comfortably or not with the smaller edges.

  • Weight and dimensions. Those are the most important features to a bulky portable device that needed trimming down. It's probably Apple's most significant update yet producing the smallest "big" tablet.

  • I'm sorry, but 5MP?! When is Apple going to up its game and actually produce better cameras on its products?

  • It has hte same retina display as iPad 3 and 4 had.

  • Id like to advised u to use s4 and u will see how its faster than your ipad air

  • Tablet is faster than the quad core android. Go to geekbench 3 website and you'll see. Thanks

  • Call it crap. Appstore has more apps than anything else. Lol, check the benchmarks

  • Hi Everyone Just curious how is the new ipad air screen compare to retina display . Is the difference visible and is it better or worst. Thank u guys.

  • Is this tablet dust-proof, water resistant ? Is its RAM memory above 512 mb ?

  • I think it is beautiful in design but I think some of the software are the same as apple's other ipads.but I thought the new apple ipad would have a 8MG camera and ... .

  • Apple Has A Small Processor But It Still Milliseconds Awayfrom Samsung Not A Big Difference You Can Do Anything In A Millisecond :p

  • Eating other brands in benchmarks and app ecosystem, with the only 64 bit processor on a tablet. Behind who exactly?

  • Because it's a tablet omfg.... There's FaceTime and Skype for video calls why the hell would you want to use as a phone?

  • Apple proving they are like 2 years behind... absolute crap specs.

  • Why Apple not upgrade Camera and make phone call?

  • Just got my iPad Air. ITS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING compared to my ipad mini and my partners Samsung Note 10.1. Really the difference between android and ios as far as tablets go is like night and day. It is so smooth, plays INSANELY good quality graphic games but packs it all into a light package. Never going back to android after this, apple look after their own. Due to the smaller bezel I swear the screen looks bigger than the 10.1 even though its only 9.7. Seriously if you're into getting new tablet iPad all the way.

  • I just bought Ipad4 months ago and there is Ipad air :v

  • It's iOS not Android.So don't expect hangs and problems.

  • hey, all new processor and power with lighter weight but still samsung note 10.1 would be batter i guess coz it has 3gb ram + SD card slot + a stylus pen which can perform a lot of things . why do not apple go higher now? with some great innovation so that i switch to ipad. because i love apple more than samsung :(

  • i m using ipad 2 until now......512mb of memory seem is ok n going well for me. no problem using it for games even is slower. no hang......

  • iPad Air (240x169.5x7.5) @ 478g iPad mini 2 (200x134.7.7.5) @ 341g Means iPad Air = 1.567g / mm3 iPad mini 2 = 1.688g / mm3 iPad Air is still lighter per volume.. gram.

  • How can you say something is better that the other if like what you just posted, you have not used other mobile OS?

  • Your statement is incorrect. Yes the iPad is a tablet, but it only has 1GB of RAM and 16GB of "Flash Storage"... not 16GB of RAM.

  • Ipad air have A7 64 bit. Faster then snapdragon 800 quad core 2.3 ghz in signal core and multicore performance. Don't blv me? Check out the iphone 5s and note 3 cpu benchmark test. :)

  • Check out the iPhone 5s and note 3 CPU BENCHMARK test. Ipad air have the same chip.

  • This is a tablet, it doesn't need 16GB RAM, and you don't either.

  • Speed != Power I can have a 6GHz dual core pentium 4 but that doesn't mean it'll deliver twice the performance of a quad core i7 at 3GHz. The same applies here; the processor is running 100MHz slower, but it's a more powerful processor per core.

  • Cpu still don't have an improvement...please upgrade.

  • Funny intel is stuck with quad core i5 for years. And single / dual core atoms and i3 processors. Yet they trashes the competitions and AMD cores craze.

  • omg why do they bring new model with smallest spec upgrade and bump up the price how many more years does it take to go quad core please dont tell me its fast enough or does the job as it will eventually upgraded bit by bit sucking all our money to get to like 20ths Gen ipad

  • iPad is losing its sales to iPad mini due to portability. No normal consumers will give much a damn about 1gb ram, and note that android takes more ram then that of iOS per app. - 5 apps on android already consume over 1.29gb ram, services included. I think they saw the power of the A7 compared to s800 chipset, they decided its time to reduce the size and weight in this current gen. I bet they will sell less if they keep the same form factor/weight and have 3gb ram or A7x.. compared to reduced size/weight while having a decent SoC. The ram is on the chip.. not soldered seperately. So if you see A7 most likely its 1gb ram.

  • Am i reading this right ipad Air spec CPU Dual-core 1.3 GHz (2013) are they going backward???? ipad 4 spec Chipset Apple A6X (2012) CPU Dual-core 1.4 GHz (1year ago) whats going on? ipad 3 spec Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 (2012) ipad 2 spec Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 (2011) well done Apple ............. iphone 5 spec Dual-core 1.3 GHz Swift (ARM v7-based) iphone 5s spec Dual-core 1.3 GHz Cyclone (ARM v8-based) WTF!

  • You dont notice anything different with multiple games open on the Note tablet because its constantly slow. Gee I'm glad to be able to multi-task with constant crappy performance. and yes I have a Samsung Note 10.1.

  • That's stupid, the iPad 3 and iPad 4 with the 1gb ram if you use it's browser to surf webpages you will know that you can't keep more than a few tabs in the background without it reloading when you go back to them. And that annoys the hell out of me. The whole point of using tabs is to eliminate reloading time and remember your viewing place on the page

  • Its clearly enough and adding more doesnt make real difference. If it would im sure apple would have added more. No-one care how much ram the device have if it works perfectly and you never need to think that wish i have a more memory. I have iPad 3 and it has also 1gb ram, have i never needed more? No.

  • iPad blows away other tablets in terms of performance and speed.Don't look just at numbers.

  • Don't look just to numbers.iPad blows away other competitors in speed and performance.

  • 1GB RAM ... Looks like 2004 model not 2014 .. LOL

  • Better power?Are you joking?

  • can we use torrent in

  • 64 bit of processing capability give you less computing time. Let say a 128 bit arithmetic calculation now required only 2 cycles compared to 4 cycles.

  • i like the sound of that.

  • There's already many apps which benefit 64 bit processor and giving extra power doing more demanding tasks. Apple just updated their garageband few days ago and 64bit devices can handle 32 audio tracks while others can 16

  • 64 bit means the prosessor cam adress 2^64 bits of ram. 32 bit means the prosessor can address 2^32 bits of ram (4gb). However this ipad only has 1gb of ram so the change to 64 bit makes no difference at all (after all it is just a slight software change in the prosessor's cache, which they could have done with the update to ios 7 if they wanted to). However they know there are enough sheep out there who will buy it just because it has this 'amazing' new number

  • hey try it before you say something like that,,, nokia tablet has full office, a lot more than this and better power

  • I know what you mean, people will just like apple because its apple, 64 bit chip is a gimmick, cause only pc with 4 gigs ram or more have them.... This only has 1 gig ram..... thus 64 bit is fake... Do some digging and you will find alot about the a7 chip being nothing more than a marketing gimmick

  • Samsung fined for fake comments about competitors

  • Hving 64 giga 3rd generation with cellular ipad should i upgrade or wait

  • Listen toolbox, I am not spamming like you or trolling like you are. I asked a serious question if it would make a difference in the performance, I didn't come here to praise android or any other product, I wanted to ask a question. You are the reason that I posted the first half of my comment. If you wanna be a doos, then go troll someone else. Don't just spit out trash. To to the guy who advised me of the 64 bit chip, thank you for that. That helps a lot it makes sense.

  • "lol, very impressive design you say?? its the same design all the time, I would buy nokias tablet,,,, looks like a kids toy compared to nokia tablet" Funny that you actually said that :) except almost all lumias looks just same and nokia tablet looks same like those lumia phones, you see when you find good design which people love, why change it? And yes iPad air is definitely best looking tablet out there.

  • Are you joking?Office is free on Android?No.

  • Does Mac OS support all of the formats of videos?I mean it's built-in player.And can you download files with Safari on Mac OS?

  • Why Apple is expensive, simple, because of there OS, There is so many Cell phone brand that is using an android and some of their apps are not that good compare to the apps of IOS.

  • bigyan to ng jacket!

  • IPhone 5s has molested all quad core and all s800 till today. So your question is answered. Iphone has made android look shabby and cheap. Go IPhone Go. I'm using nothing but Apple IPhone from Ipod,iphone,iPad to macbook air retina screen. I'm waiting for this one as well.

  • lol, very impressive design you say?? its the same design all the time, I would buy nokias tablet,,,, looks like a kids toy compared to nokia tablet

  • Anonymous iPad2, iPad4. No people buying than change name to Air 1, Air 2... Now Samsung S4 & Note3 low demand. Soon will change to other name and sell as new product. ------------damned right....!----------------

  • Very impressive design, love the slim/thin look, just what I would expect from a 2013 tablet, no TouchID, no gold model, big deal, not a game breaker for me. A7 chip seems very quick & has no problem competing with the Quad core cpus from the other companies, just shows it not what you got, its how you use it. Well done Apple sign me up for one on Nov 1st.

  • I think ipad product is unfair they release their new product with free excel , power point and word . ipad mini and below it cost 30 dollars for excel,power point and word :( haysst they need to change it . Unlike Android phone all of word excel and power point are free need to fix that apple unless if you cannot fix that 3-5 yrs android phones will become the most beautiful smart phone . Steve jobs died apple will dead also :( so sad but true

  • bahhhhhhhh

  • If you mean the downgrade of frequency of chipset,don't trust thus information.Wait for iPad Air to come out.iPhone 5S was 1.7 GHz on GSMArena before coming out but it's now lower.Don't even trust the storage of ram.

  • There isn't any downgrades.A7 is alot faster than A6X chip.A7 is amazing.

  • Cpu is obviously upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit. Which delivers almost 4x performance than before If you don't know anything ,then shut up and do not spread wrong opinion

  • This is really sad. I dont even read the opinions anymore because it is just fan boys and trolls talking kak. Why does no one post serious comments, or just stick to their brand? I love Samsung and Android, but it doesn't mean I cant stand Apple and talk kak about their products. I have a question for the technologically enlightened apple fans. Why the downgrade in the processor from the iPad 4 to the air? Won't that negatively impact the speed, user experience and capability of the device? Regardless of the manufacturing process? I see the GPU got a nice positive bump though to the PowerVR G6430. Will the new chips interact as well as the previous A6X chip and the SGX554MP4?

  • whats your problem

  • Next innovation by Apple = Hot Air

  • This time Apple leaked the upcoming 8th gen iPhone in Facebook...

  • iPad2, iPad4. No people buying than change name to Air 1, Air 2... Now Samsung S4 & Note3 low demand. Soon will change to other name and sell as new product.

  • Piece of shit same like Samsung. Nothing special. Just changing the name and sell as new product. May be next year sell Air 2, Air 3, Air 4. Same like Note 1, Note 2, Note 3.

  • NO.

  • does it support phone calls?

  • Too expensive for the mediocre specifications...

  • Sonys tablet is thinner. Better cam sd slot and water proof...

  • honestly theres no innovation in apple... all their products are all the same .. same same same same... no amazing model... mYBE good in performance but the product itself is obsolete.. not user friendly.... bluetooth to other devices is not capable of, . please innovate

  • Apple starts again stealing... When apple does, it is not stealing it is something... something else.

  • r u kidding me !! 5.9 for this nice design and solid performance ??

  • Apple uses its package "pages, numbers and keynote" not as u said "MS office" !!

  • Check out this review on the apple ipad air....http://techkulos.com/apple-ipad-air/

  • Of course.I have a lot of PDF files on my iPad.

  • Can ipad read PDF's?

  • iOS 7 has some really beautiful wallpapers.I hate this wallpaper on the photo.

  • I hope it had Touch ID and better camera and True-Tone flash and better screen quality and 5G wifi and LTE-A support and better battery life and lightning cable which is faster than USB 3.0 in transferring files between Computer and device and better front camera.

  • Auto correction does that too.I have iPad and I tested it.

  • You can download with iDownloader.I do it and open them all in VLC PLAYER.So I play movies with any formats on my iPad 3.

  • You just look at the numbers on papers.iDevices are the best in performance.Just search in youtube for speed tests.

  • What is the different between ipad air and ipad 4 generation? do you think that apple company is as good as last time that steve jobs be alive?I think this product means that apple can,t be such as before.and i believe that it can,t compete with galaxy note 10.1 2014.

  • better than galaxy note 10.1 2014

  • y will i need a memory card when i have 128 gb storage? and also have u heard about jailbreaking? i can connect to mass storage after jailbreaking. now ask me the next quesn, y should i jailbreak and void warranty; let me ask u back, y do u root? unlock bootloader? install greenify? laggers!

  • exactly apple's ecosystem is useless as they live in a different world of misconceptions that they are better by creating different things for everyone n to my amaze bloody cheap people in the whole world are buying these apple gadgets n now they want to substitute microsoft office with i work because they r in a world of a dream

  • Completely right.The OS is very important.

  • Not all of them but yes,some of them don't work well

  • Xperia Tablet Z is 6.9 mm thin not 6.5.

  • What?Can you read numbers?Xperia Tablet z is 6.9 mm and it's ppi is lower than iPad Air.So iPad Air is better than that junk.

  • Wow.Garageband is free on my iPad 3.Cooooooool.

  • Urrm Apple dosnt have predictive text.It has Autocorrect. Nokia's predictive text 15 years ago was more effective.

  • What's the use of winning in benchmarks if your device is deemed useless due to restricted ecosystem and limited functionality.

  • Right.

  • Yes

  • Why do you look just at specs on paper,iOS devices are optimized and with even lower specs beat other devices.Please.Use your brain.

  • Finally can consider the iPad again. Strong battery backup without the weight. Hope the reduced size still have the battery life of the first gen iPad.. although i do not use it, but i still keep it charged.. and one charge is good for 1 mth. 12 charges per year!

  • Did you know that it's possible that a dual core can be faster than lots of quad core cpu's? It depends on the arquitecture or the tech that it uses. Take as example the iPhone 5S' benchmarks, it destroyed every quad or octa phones out there. Or compare an octa desktop AMD cpu with a Intel Core i7 4770k(Quad Core) and the i7 will destroy them all. Get your facts straight before talking.

  • Apple so creedy.

  • How much is the Apple Tax, 50%? Stick with Android, my Nook HD+, a bargain. And maybe get an iPad mini, when the price comes down for the original.

  • In multi core too.

  • Sony Xperia Tablet Z Very Slim 6.5 mm !!!! Only Sony ♥

  • Dont judge a processor by its speed, iphone 5s trashed s800 in single core benchmark, even better in real life

  • Those features are useless, samsungs marketing tool, they dont even work that well.

  • ....120,000 apps isnt enough? ... plus Android HAS quality apps, your argument is subjective to opinion...dude just let it go, we know applefans are gonna buy this regardless. Apple makes fashion accessories not performance products

  • Nothing new here I'll stick with my iPad 3 thanks, Apple slipping about time someone knocked them of their perch. Nokia tablets and phablets not now Microsoft took over.

  • 1.3 ghz dual core chip and 1 GB RAM= three year old/ terrible spec (I think there's smart watches with better spec than that). As for the applefanboy listing all the 100's of dollars of junk he needs to add to make an iPad even half usuable, you can do that straight off the bat with any high end android tablet. Plus you only have those abilities on your iPad if you are in your bedroom, unless you plan on wheeling around all that stuff on a big trolley where ever you go. Come back to me when you can download torrents straight to the device, stream every and any flash based sport event, use the entire web, have access to SD cards, flash memory sticks, hard drives and ps3 controllers connected to the device, don't have to connect your tablet to your PC or I'm guessing in your case Mac book air to put anything on it ( which in this day and age is frankly embarrising and means the iPad isn't a standalone device) plus don't have to keep paying money to your pimp 'Apple' everytime you want to do anything. MUG!

  • Faster processor faster graphics,thinner and lighter.

  • Wow.The garageband is free on my iPad 3.Thanks Apple.iOS 7.0.3 is better too.

  • With iOS 7 Apple brought HDR to iPads.I have HDR on my iPad 3.

  • Not nescessarily, It's true that iOS needs a weaker proc but a the snapdragon 800 runs android just as smooth as the one iPads has. With the Note 10.2, blame touch"wiz". It's a crappy skin. Compare it to stock for a fair battle.

  • Not needed...

  • Just name is changed same as i pad 4 ..blunder

  • no finger print sensor.

  • does any one notices? WHats the Difference B/w Air and Ipad 4....? No AIr gesture,,No Eye Scrolling, Still 5mp wd no Flash.?? no doubt ur IOS7 is much better as compared to Android..

  • It's not all for that purpose, it is still widely used in schools (education purposes) and in medicine even.

  • its exactly the as the ipad 4 apart from hdr mode in the camera!!!!!!

  • Like what more innovative in nokia tablet? Polycarbonate body running app less OS. Is that innovation to u?

  • Ios devices run better with dual and 1 Gb then the android with quad core and 3 Gb ram. Everyone knows that. No argue. Jst play with the note 10.1 2014 and ipad 4 which is last gen. Ipad 4 is much faster and smoother.

  • Well, let's just say that i would agree with you that W8 is short on apps_Hmmm....i guess 120,000 apps is not good enough for you_,but to say that Android has no quality apps that means that you have never used or even saw an Android device in your life.

  • 2520 = no apps. note 10.1 2014 = no quality apps. 100% of the time you are using apps, and hardware is there to support it. If no apps = junk device. What is the practicality in buying good hardware when it does not have any good apps in it ? And besides, A7 is still king.

  • That doesnt concern you what people do. Mind your own business!!

  • so what is innovative according to u? providing windows tablet?

  • u are wron the multitouch was developed in 1982, and the first comercial device was made in 2005 by JazzMutant

  • Ok.. I think i've missed something, because i see nothing new in this. Someone plz tell me what is so good and new in this

  • iPad air + mac mini (Headless) (running mac osx or windows 8) + data plan + parallel access app = ultimate ultrabook less pc gaming. @ 1lb... And it sure cost less then one haha. It can do everything.. Streaming: Servetome on mac mini, Streamtome on ipad Torrenting: Transmission via parallel access Applet / java: Chrome or firefox via parallel access Flash: Chrome/firefox (secure) or puffin (via third party prox server) Full office support. Sorry if you get android tablet.. cannot do the above without lag,usability or battery.

  • I think the ipad air is not as light as they say comparing their size, and few things that brings ... is amazing to see how people would take the few advantages of the ipad and become so powerful that want to convince everyone that apple is the best .... really are good at marketing .... but I think we can not compare something when people already have in their head that what they like is the best .... hard to make it change.

  • iPad now as trash as Samsung!!! Just changing some CPU/RAM/Pixel/Fancy software, and then sell you expensive price. Please don't learn from Samsung! We need new innovative hardware as like what Apple had invented the multi-touch screen on 2007.

  • hey guys for a display to be qualified as retina needs to have 300 or over 300 ppi but ipad air has only 264 ppi..how it has a retina display???

  • are you living under a rock? nokias tablet is more innovative than the piece of old tech...

  • ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, nokia tablet is way better, this is old already

  • for almost the same ammount of money u can get the Lumia 2520... but i wouldnt want any of them, surface pro 2 is just better, the only bad thing about it is that it has no GPS, otherwise it rules

  • who said that ?

  • blame the company for being money hungry.

  • Apple rocks!!!

  • Jobs isn't with us anymore, and the impact is huge... Where did the innovation go? USB 2.0? Why not 3.0? Same 5Mp camera? Same screen? Not even one new "killer feature"? The processor is way slower of the current iPhone's? Actually, except for being a bit thinner - it's about the same as last year's model. Hope it's cheaper, if it is - kudos to Apple. All in all, kinda boring. I'll just wait for next year's Air 2.

  • Assume and the most amazing tablet launched. Thanks apple. Will trade off my iPad 2 for the iPad air. Amazing product with a touch of class

  • I love it.

  • people nowadays buy ipads only for playing pirated games and showoffs. not for work or education anymore.... that's sad.

  • Where is the innovation. , apple is going down

  • Nokia tablets???!!!!!!hahahahaha.Junk tablets.

  • How can Apple have any staffs to work for or just only CEO? A bit change in one year. I do really hate Apple....!!!! Same....... Just big head not huge innovation as Samsung. At least New Nokia table is more good choice than this unchanged device.

  • The Same Old Stuff ....

  • surprising iPad 2 still available! Other previous models discontinued?

  • Shame on you, Apple. The same 5MP camera on 3 generations without flash. Samsung has 8/13 mp cameras with flash starting year ago. Nothing innovative; only little faster like always and the new design.

  • What's new about it? I can't see anything new apart from processor

  • Nice..but same features as iPhone 5s...2nd in comments :p

  • Let me buy it.

  • Awesome!!! Good job Apple!! Love it!!
