  • A lessexpensive iPad

  • 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

  • The price is reasonable
  • It's fast

The editors didn't like

  • 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

  • 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
  • Screen could be better
  • Thicker than other iPads
  • Not a clear upgrade from other models
  • Outdated SoC
  • Very glossy screen
  • Old LTE standard

  • 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...

  • Relatively inexpensive, Great battery life, Broad app support
  • Screen could be better, Thicker than other iPads, Not a clear upgrade from other models
  • Apple's newest iPad is a budget model that samples the best parts from past hits. We've got the original iPad Air's body stuffed with the iPhone 6s's A9 chipset and paired with a brighter version of the iPad Air 2's display. We have no complaints about pe...

  • 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...
