Kind of like the thread for the iPhone 6, here is the one for the iPad Air 2! Post your initial thoughts, reactions, pictures, whatever! Oh, and enjoy your new iPad Air 2!
I am not a fan of the air model myself I'm more into the mini size and that to be honest wasn't a huge upgrade from the mini retina in my opinion. Not enough to make me rush out and grab one
I absolutely think this an upgrade to the iPad Air . Enough so I bought this after selling my iPad back in March . The screen finally being glued to the glass is a major plus along with the 3 core cup(? ) and 2gb of ram

How do you like not having the mute/orientation switch? I use this almost every time I use my iPad Air and I can't imagine not having it. I dislike using lock orientation via control center on my iPhone I can't imagine why Apple would take this away?
It's is by far the best apple device that I have ever purchased. I only owned my iPad air for 3 months because I couldn't stand how badly 1gb of ram hobbled it. It caused it to crash, apps reloaded, and so did web pages. Going to one we page to get info or an email, then back to the original page, and it reloaded. With the new iPad air I can click a YouTube video then leave the app, come back and the video is still loading. The thinnes and lightness so amazing that it doesn't feel like it has batteries. Last, everything is smooth as butter.
I upgraded from the iPad 1 - the Air 2 is mind boggling in comparison.
Same here. Browsing was just becoming painful and no support from most apps anymore. To use the clich?? I've gone from a Sopworth Camel to a F-22 Raptor. With a bluetooth keyboard? Possibly the replacement for my 2011 Mac Book Air (which I love dearly). But I haven't touched the MBA since getting the iPA2 except for right now ironically (iPad is charging elsewhere in the house). iPA2 is so fast, display exemplary and iOS8/Yosemite integration is really amazing stuff. Should have been happening years ago but works great now.
??? You had that many issues with the Air? I've had mine for around the same amount of time and it's been nothing but a phenomenal experience. I consider myself a borderline power user (switching between multiple screens/apps) and can't recall seeing what you've described.
I've been debating on upgrading though, only because the Jump program T-Mobile offers makes it cost effective to do so.
I use my MacBook Air about 2/3 of the work day and iPad Air the rest.
I'd like to see Apple require some core commonalities in their apps, that would be the catalyst of cutting the cord from the Macbook. For example, in some apps I can "save as" but not rename a file.
The Dropbox app is average at best in terms of searching for files and simple overall file management.
Basically I'm still too handicapped with some apps compared to functions I can do without even thinking in OS X.
