It's a bit thicker and heavier than the now defunct iPad Air 2. It lacks the stylus support
Abstract: Apple's new 9.7-inch 2017 iPad doesn't come with a lot of surprises except for one, the $329 price tag Apple gave the 32GB model. It now competes with other budget tablets including the company's own iPad mini 4, their former low-price option. Potential...

Screen could be less reflecive, No expandable memory, No 'raise to wake'

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...
