The iPad Air 2 is still a few months off from being dropped, but already the rumors are circulating about the upcoming features. And the most impressive rumored feature? The fact that the tablet just might be waterproof! 

First, according to the International Business Times, the original flavor iPad was named the "Best Mobile Tablet" at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona a few days ago. Motivated by the success of the Samsung tablets, and phones, and their waterproof capabilities, Apple -- who has been reluctant to integrate a waterproof option in their tablets in the past -- is hinting that the iPad Air 2, which doesn't have a release date as of yet, will be waterproof. 

And, according to Motoring Crunch, another reason that Apple has chosen -- possibly -- to make their iPad Air 2 waterproof is that they received a lot of complaints from users who claimed that their electronics get "killed" in water. (That's all electronics, though... not just Apple-specific ones...)

The iPad Air has received mainly positive reviews. Writing for AnandTech, Anand Lal Shimpi writes that the iPad Air "feels like a true successor to the iPad 2," praising it for its reduced weight and size. Shimpi further states that the Air "hits a balance of features, design and ergonomics that I don't think we've ever seen in the iPad."

U.K. Editor-in-Chief of TechRadar, Patrick Goss, gave the iPad Air a positive review, giving praise to the A7 chip and camera upgrades, as well as the crisp and colorful display. He concludes by stating: "It's hard to put into words how much Apple has improved the iPad, offering a stunning level of detail and power with a build quality that's unrivalled."

Christina Bonnington of Wired awarded the Air a rating of 8 out of 10, calling the performance "outstanding" and noting that high-definition video streams and gaming animations are "smooth and stutter free." She also praised the loading speeds of the web browsers. Bonnington criticized the speakers for being slightly muddled, however.
