Review: It takes good photos even through glass. - I love this iPad Air. My iPad mini had been a good servant and a brilliant friend for almost 10 years then it suddenly died. I knew I needed a replacement but my eyes are not as good as they were so I thought I would go for a bigger size to ensure I could still use it if sight deteriorated even more. I ordered an iPad Air 13”. It looked good but was too heavy and too bulky for me to have at the bedside, etc. so I returned it straight away to desertcart and ordered the same but in the 11” size. I am delighted with it. It is large enough to make everything I need it to do easy to access but small and light enough to pop in a decent sized handbag, have on a side table near the sofa and it’s ideal on my bedside table for when I need to read in the night without disturbing my better half. The maps are clear. The photos are great. There is a lot it will do that I haven’t even tried yet but I am very satisfied indeed so far. It wasn’t cheap but my last iPad cost £349 10 years ago, so for about £35 per year it’s been amazing value. I am hoping that this iPad will last well too, and as our young granddaughter is very good with iPads and she helps me when I need to learn something new, I will probably get even more fun and help out of this one. I chose this for size and speed, it’s good quality, battery life is amazing and the value is very good for what you get.
Review: Great iPad Air, good value price for 256gb - This is a great upgrade for me from my previous air Generation 3, the bigger 256gb was a no brainer, as the price difference was only £50. The overall price was cheaper than in the Apple retail store. It’s not used for anything complicated, browsing, banking, emails, games, including some for my Granddaughters, with their favourite Roblox, streaming Netflix etc. This is no longer a struggle with the larger storage, there’ll no longer be a need to offload to allow updates. The only improvement that would make it even better would be the weight, it is on the heavy side, as the previous same size iPads. Do very much recommend though, as it is a vast improvement on my old 64gb. A little tip for anyone disappointed in the trade in or resale value of your old iPad, I have retired the old one into a way of watching live tv, also a vast improvement to poor quality tv on an internal aerial.
