Apple iPad Air 2 vs iPad Air! #Helpful Post

another year another iPad and suddenly

your seemingly new ish iPad air doesn't

seem so new anymore so lets going to

find out what exactly Apple's new iPad

air 2 offers over its predecessor hey

guys johnathan here with TLD hope you

guys are doing well as most of you are

probably aware Apple's new iPad air 2 is

out and now that have had some time to

play with it I want to break down the

major differences between it and the

first generation iPad air and ultimately

help you decide if it's worth the

upgrade so I think it'll be easiest just

to go down the list of everything that

is different about the iPad air 2 which

like most Apple products is thinner and

lighter the iPad air 2 is now 6.1

millimeters thin as opposed to the 7.5

on the original and it now weighs in at

just under a pound whereas the iPad air

1 was 1 pound exactly so in terms of

screen size and resolution the iPad air

2 is exactly the same as the iPad air 1

9.7 inches 2048 by 1536 but in terms of

what's new the iPad air 2 features an

optically bonded display with anti

reflective coating as far as what that

means in English it's going to enhance

your viewing experience because

obviously there's gonna be less glare

and better viewing angles and it's

really hard to kind of portray that

through video I'm not sure if you guys

can see this but if you get a chance to

compare the two in person if you look

towards the corner you can see where

there's a separation I really didn't

notice that before but once you get a

hold of the new iPad air 2 it's pretty

obvious and it is a pretty substantial

difference now that doesn't mean that

the iPad air 2 is going to be 100% glare

free but it does do a pretty good job at

reducing glare and is definitely

noticeable side-by-side against the

original now is this feature alone worth

upgrade and I'd say not necessarily but

if you're coming from anything prior to

the first generation iPad air or buying

an iPad for the first time it's

definitely a welcomed addition so we've

talked about some of the aesthetics and

how the iPad air 2 differs from the

original but now let's talk about some

things that you can't see and this is

the big performance boost underneath the

hood the iPad air 2 has an 8 X tri core

CPU clocked at 1.5 gigahertz compared to

the a7 dual core at 1.4 gigahertz on the

original iPad air we now see 2 gigabytes

of RAM as opposed to the one on the

original iPad air and the m7 motion

coprocessor has been bumped up to an m8

so what does that mean in terms of

actual performance and what does that

extra cord do in Geekbench 3 the iPad

air 2 had a single core score of 18 13

compared to 11 12 on the original iPad

air that is pretty substantial in terms

of generation to generation as far as

single core scores go but jump it over

to multi-core you can see this is

actually even a bigger difference with

the iPad air 2 scored in at 45 14

compared to the 20 98 on the original

iPad air so huge difference as far as

graphics go in the antutu 3d rating

benchmark the iPad air 2 was getting

around 60 frames per second on average

whereas the original iPad air 2 was

getting just around 25 a little under 26

average frames per second now if you

happen to catch my iPad air 2 unboxing

with marques Austin and gender we all

seem to agree that as far as touch ID on

a tablet or an iPad it's a little

limited with iOS and not so important

until Apple starts to implement things

like separate user profiles where you

can then login with your thumbprint

that's going to be where it's cool but

for now it's definitely more of a

convenience as opposed to a necessity if

you own an iPhone 5s 6 or 6 plus and you

jump to an iPad without touch ID then it

might make sense but really again it's

about convenience in terms of just

unlocking your iPad or making purchases

by unlocking it with your thumbprint now

it is not a secret that I'm not a huge

fan of taking photos on a tablet it just

doesn't look right but Apple has updated

the camera on the iPad air 2 the

front-facing camera is pretty much the

same but what you need to know is the

iPad air 2 now has an 8 megapixel camera

and the slow motion video whereas the

original iPad air had a 5 megapixel

camera and no slow motion video here's a

few shots between the two and yes I am

out there in public taking pictures with

not one iPad but two iPad so you guys

can just picture the visual on that

video quality is a little better a

little less noisy on the iPad air 2 as

opposed to the original iPad air but

again one of the big differences between

the two is the iPad air 2 offers slow

motion video where you cannot get that

on the original iPad air so those are

pretty much the main differences between

- I think it's ultimately going to come

down to whether or not all those

things add up and are a worthy upgrade

for you for most people I think you'll

be perfectly content with your current

iPad air but if you've watched this

video and there's enough compelling

reasons to upgrade I think you'll be

happy as well obviously if you're coming

from anything prior to the original iPad

air I think it's going to be a huge

upgrade and well worth the money because

to me the combo of these super insanely

fast processor the optically bonded

display which looks fantastic it makes

the iPad air 2 a really solid choice now

before I hop out of here I want to give

a huge thank you to Hulu Plus for help

making this video possible I know most

of you know what Hulu is but Hulu Plus

is essentially like that speed bump on

the new iPad air 2

you can watch entire seasons of shows

like South Park and Family Guy now me

and my fiance use Hulu Plus to catch up

on once upon a time we have crazy

schedules so we don't always get to

watch it when we want to so being able

to have it on demand with Hulu Plus is

awesome Hulu Plus streams on just about

every device you own plus if you're an

iPhone user they just released a

beautiful new app to enhance your

viewing experience

now Hulu Plus is only $7.99 a month but

for TLD fans you guys can get a free

extended two-week trial by heading over

to Hulu Plus comm slash TLD so by using

that link you can help the channel out

and get an awesome deal at the same time

aside from that this is Jonathan with

TLD and I will see you guys later
