The iPad Air 2 is one of the best tablet ever released by the Apple. Aside from its good specs and features, it is also available in very cheap price. With its new updated version, the iPad, the tablet continues to render good quality to the consumers.

The new tablet device received mixed reviews from users worldwide, it was significantly praised for its performance, with reviewers asserting that the model is noticeably faster than its predecessor iPad Air 2 and older iPad models, and it also received positive reviews for its price and battery life. However, it was criticized for lacking a laminated and anti-reflective screen like we see on the previous models, and lack of support for Apple Pencil and attachable keyboards.
