Comparison review

IPad Air 2 has a general score of 74.2, which is a bit better than Apple iPad Air's 73.9 global score. These tablets include the same iOS 8.x OS. The iPad Air 2 body is newer, just a little bit lighter and way thinner than Apple iPad Air. IPad Air has a little faster processor than Apple iPad Air 2, because although it has a lower amount of RAM, and they both have a 64 bits CPU, the iPad Air also counts with a greater number of cores (although they are slower) and a graphics processing unit.

IPad Air has a display that's just as good as the screen in iPad Air 2, they have the same screen density, a same size display and exactly the same resolution of 1536 x 2048px. The iPad Air 2 captures a bit better videos and photos than Apple iPad Air, and although they both have the same video frame rate, the same 1920x1080 video definition and a F2.4 camera aperture, the iPad Air 2 also has a camera in the back with much more MP.

IPad Air features a much bigger storage capacity to store more apps and games than Apple iPad Air 2, because it has 32 GB internal storage. Apple iPad Air has longer battery performance than Apple iPad Air 2, because it has an 8820mAh battery capacity against 7340mAh.

Although iPad Air 2 is a better device, it is a bit more expensive than Apple iPad Air, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Apple iPad Air. So if you want that extra features, you can buy iPad Air 2, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the Apple iPad Air, resigning a couple features and specs.
