Apple's iPad is a category that in some ways is trying to define itself, now that it's moving into its relative young adulthood. Larger phones mean that it will mean different things for users than it did when it was introduced four years ago. The iPad Ai...

Most are in agreement that Apple's iPad Air 2 is one of the finest tablets ever produced, if not the best out there, period. Certainly, it's not difficult to make that case -- after all, the latest 9.7-inch iPad is thinner than its predecessor at just 6.1...

Smartphone and tablet vendors seem to be locked in an arms race to build the thinnest possible devices at the moment, with the current thinnest smartphone — the Oppo R5 — being so skeletal at 4.85mm that it can't even accommodate a 3.5mm audio jack. Apple...
If you're an Android fan, there are plenty of alternative tablets to choose from. Prominent among these are Samsung's excellent SuperAMOLEDequipped Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (which also comes in an 8.4inch model), and Sony's slimline (6.4mm) 10.1inch Xperia Z2 Ta...
So, if you're in the market for an iPad, should you buy the Air or the Air 2? The answer largely depends on how much you value the latest model's 6.1mm thinness, how much you need the A8X's extra processing and graphics speed and extra 1GB of RAM, whether...
