The price finally feels right. The battery lasts forever. It does all the iPad things
And does them well
Apple's new iPad delivers faster performance and a brighter screen than the model it replaces
At a price that's about half as much as the iPad Pro. Tight integration between the hardware
Software and app store makes it easy to use
It is an iPad
The price is reasonable
It's fast
The least expensive fullsized iPad that Apple has ever sold. Great entrylevel option with modern capabilities. Best battery life we've ever seen on an iPad. Modest performance boost puts it closer to the 9.7” iPad Pro. Adds support for taking Live Photos

Non-laminated display
No antireflective coating
Selfies are worse than on iPad Air 2
Thicker and heavier than iPad Air 2
A Pro iPad
Laminated widegamut display
Apple Pencil and Smart Connector
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
No microSD card slot
Lightning port instead of USBC
Neither rugged nor waterproof
Keyboard and Pencil accessories increase the price
Thicker
Heavier than before
Lost the physical rotation lock switch from the iPad Air 2
Screen could be less reflecive
No expandable memory
No 'raise to wake'
Incrementally thicker than predecessor
Slow charging
No Pencil support
No Smart Connector. Two speakers don't sound as good as four speakers. The screen's not as eyepopping as other iPads
It's a bit thicker and heavier than the now defunct iPad Air 2. It lacks the stylus support
Better speakers and better screen of the iPad Pro
Screen could be nicer
No smart connector for keyboards
Speakers only on one side
Essentially a hybrid of the 2013 iPad Air and 2014 iPad Air 2
Offering little new beyond the upgraded CPU. A return to the size and weight of the original 2013 iPad Air. No camera or audio improvements. No antireflective screen coating. Available only in
