Apple iPad Air Review

Apple iPad Air is an incredible iOS device released back in 2013, packed with a huge 9.7 inches display, a high-tech 64 bit Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1.4 GHz, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 1.2 MP front side camera. We will get a better idea about this device's features when we get into deeper details.

About its design materials, this device is built with Aluminium, which gives a top level feel and improved resistance. The iPad Air is available in 3 different color options, black, gray and white. Apple made a really good optimization job making the iPad Air weight only 16.86 oz. The iPad Air is extremely slim and practical, with a thickness of just 0.3 inches. This device is quite a compact tablet, given that it presents a 9.7 inches screen and it's just 9.45 inches long and 6.67 inches wide.

This tablet is equipped with a Apple A7 chip, backed up by a high speed 1400 megahertz Dual-Core 64-bit processing unit and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit disappointing considering its great CPU. Collaborating with graphic calculations, this tablet also has a PowerVR G6430 graphics processing unit clocking at 600 megahertz. A great aspect of the iPad Air is its large 128 GB internal memory and whereas it doesn't count with a slot for external memory cards, it it is more than enough to install hundreds of applications without having to worry about how much storage is left.

The Apple iPad Air is equipped with two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front facing camera. It can also capture 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps. In addition, the camera includes lots of valuable features like auto-focus, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, time lapse video, HDR mode and geo tagging.

Apple packed this tablet with a good looking 9.7 inches screen, and a 1536 x 2048 resolution, making everything look great. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This device packs a 8820 mAh big capacity Li-Polymer non-removable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it at all. An issue to take into consideration is that the iPad Air's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to last shorter, though having 8820 mAh you will probably discard this tablet before it becomes a real problem.

The iPad Air counts with WiFi connectivity (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance internet connection or 3G fast connection type, using HSPA, EV-DO A, EV-DO B and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a Nano SIM card for GSM networks.

The iPad Air also includes some interesting features like Bluetooth (4.0), GPS and NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your tablet close to another NFC device or tag), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Apple sells the Apple iPad Air for about 440 dollars, which is similar to other similar devices. If you need a tablet majorly for internet broswing and social networks, are an amateur photographer, want it for work or will use it as a gaming tablet, you will probably be very pleased with this tablet. The iPad Air sells with Lightning to USB Cable and USB Power Adapter.
