As mentioned earlier today in my unboxing of the new iPad Air, I queued up at my local Apple Store to ensure I was one of the first to pick up Apple’s newest tablet. I regularly switch from platform to platform when we’re talking about phones, I use a HTC One regularly, or a Samsung Galaxy S4. However I tend to stick with iOS for my tablet operating system of choice because it works for me, and it works well.
The app selection is far superior to the Play Store when you’re purely talking about tablet optimized apps. For this reason, when Apple announced the new iPad Air, I was extremely curious to try one out. One of the reasons I switched from the 3rd-gen iPad to the iPad mini was simply portability – I always prefer to use a larger screen if I can.
With the iPad Air clocking in at just 469 grams, when the iPad mini weighs 308 grams, it made me not regret the decision to ditch my iPad mini indefinitely. We’ve put together a full hardware comparison not only pitting the iPad Air against it’s older (but smaller) brother, but Google’s 7-inch tablet as well: the Nexus 7 (2013 model). In the video below you’ll find me talking about the screen sizes, resolution, weight, build quality and more between these three devices.
