First look: Apple's 'Spring Loaded' event [pictures]
Here's a peek at the products making an appearance at Apple's first big launch event of 2021.
Both Amazon and Apple have tablets at the ready for the holiday spending extravaganza. But that means consumers are faced with a choice. So, let's put Apple's iPad Air 2 up against Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX and see which comes out the winner.
An updated version of this post can be found here.
An important consideration if you are a butterfingers or little ones are going to be using the tablet.
- The iPad Air 2 features a glass and aluminum construction.
- The Kindle Fire HDX features a glass and plastic construction.
Being a user of both tablets, I can tell you that the Kindle Fire HDX is far more durable than the iPad Air 2. I wouldn't call the iPad fragile, but the thin aluminum and tight tolerances mean that even a small drop puts the display at risk.
Verdict
When it comes to durability, the Kindle Fire HDX wins.
