Low Price, Great screen, Very good performance, Very long battery life,
No microSD card slot, Lightning port instead of USBC
There's nothing physically innovative about Apple's latest, but it breaks new ground by being a high-end iOS tablet at a mid-range price. With a great screen, good performance, and lo-o-ong battery life, the 9.7-inch iPad is going to appeal to everyone l...

Abstract: The 2017 iPad is the latest, but not quite the greatest: It replaces the iPad Air 2 in Apple's tablet lineup, mimics the dimensions of the first iPad Air, and has several last-generation specs. However, the device does establish a benchmark for an entry-l...

Super affordable price, 10-hour battery life, iOS 10 runs like a champ

$329 is a very good price for what you get (and it's a more realistic price for a midrange tablet in 2017), Feels fast, Apple Pencil and Smart Connector aside, it can do everything an iPad Pro can do, Good battery life, iOS' tablet app ecosystem is still
No anti-reflective coating on the glass, Air gap between front glass and LCD panel makes the screen look less colorful and contrasty, and the tablet feels weirdly hollow when you're tapping on the screen

Relatively inexpensive, Great battery life, Broad app support
Screen could be better, Thicker than other iPads, Not a clear upgrade from other models

bright display, accurate colors, precise touchscreen, excellent build quality, long battery runtime, high browser performance
outdated SoC, very glossy screen, old LTE standard, slightly increased black value, no support for Apple pencil
Apple also improved some aspects of the new iPad compared to the original iPad Air. The first thing is the faster chip. The display is also much lighter, and the battery runtimes are even longer. Combined with the fast WiFi, numerous LTE bands, an excelle...
