what's up guys Lew here back with a brand new video and today we're going to be talking about the newly released iPad air 2 I've also got the original iPad air here for a comparison there are of course some improvements to the new iPad is it going to be worth your while worth your upgrade of course this unboxing will hopefully help you decide the new version includes touch ID now it's a little bit thinner a little bit faster otherwise fairly similar so without any more hesitation let's go ahead and get this baby sliced open now this is the 16 gigabyte Wi-Fi version so the base model there are of course bigger versions available 64 gigabytes 128 as you can see on the front of the box here an incredibly slim design everyone seems to be working towards this ultra thin kind of a look is it what consumers are asking for I'm not really sure everyone I talked to seems to think that extended battery life would be more important so yes it's definitely thinner though is it really that significant hmm okay let me put this other one down for a moment finish this unboxing have the usual plastic covering the actual iPad this is the Space Gray version of course it's also available in silver and gold you have your eye sight camera on the back as well as a microphone in that location on the bottom is where you're going to find your speaker as well as the Lightning port for charging up the device the touch ID lives on the front here similar to the iPhone 6 6 plus 5s they all feature a similar or exactly the same touch ID you have your forward facing camera volume buttons are on the side and the power switch is up on the top inside the box we have the usual goodies from Apple including the power brick which is a 10 watt a little tip here is you can use this power brick to charge up your iPhone as well and you can get a slightly quicker charge by using that slightly larger more powerful brick we have the paperwork from Apple which we have now seen many many times warranty information the world-famous legendary Apple stickers as well and then a lightning cable to get your device charged sync etc here is the actual iPad which I'm going to go ahead and boot up quickly basically identical to the previous version other than the fact that you have a slimmer design the main story here is the fact that they've gotten it even thinner than before fairly marginal to be honest with you I mean you can tell when you're holding it a little bit almost forgot to mention the previous version had a hold switch orientation lock the new version does away with that likely due to the slimmer form factor honestly guys not a massive difference here of course I can tell the difference I could identify with my eyes closed which is which but is it really worth the upgrade if you've got the previous version iPad air I would say no only because this is a very marginal and iterative update unless you really need touch ID or maybe if you're a heavy gamer and you could take advantage of the faster processor then maybe you want to go ahead and go with the latest one but otherwise if you can find a cheap deal on the original iPad air that might be a better bet for a significant portion of users anyways so there you have it the unboxing of the brand new iPad air 2 can you tell which is which which is old which is new you're not going to sit here with the original iPad air wishing that you have a slightly thinner version or maybe you are there's a lot of people that are early adopters and touch ID on an iPad not nearly as valuable as having it on a phone for example which you have in your pocket and is out in public more often I mean it does depend on the way that you use your iPad but for me mine is primarily used at home alright guys that wraps up this video thanks as always for watching if you enjoyed this content please remember to leave a thumbs up down below and I will catch you on the next one very shortly all right later guys
