$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
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...

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outdated SoC, very glossy screen, old LTE standard, slightly increased black value, no support for Apple pencil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...
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
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

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
Pro and Air 2 owners can skip this one, but for nearly everyone else, the updated iPad is an ideal all-around tablet at a fantastic price...
