The editors didn't like
Strong battery performance (well ahead of Air models
A little behind Pros)
Decent processor and speed
Comparatively low price tag
It's a bit thicker and heavier than the now defunct iPad Air 2. It lacks the stylus support
Affordable price (for an Apple product), Fast and capable A9 system-on-a-chip, 1.3 million apps specifically designed for the iPad
Non wide-gamut display that isn't fully laminated, Dated camera technology, Not compatible with Smart Keyboard or Apple Pencil
One other thing to point out is that the new iPad does not include the Smart Connecter found on Apple's two current iPad Pro models. As such, it is incompatible with the company's Smart Keyboard attachment. As a result of this, those that want to use this...

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...
Exceptional battery life, Great performance, Crisp Retina display, Premium design
Display is not laminated, No stereo speakers, Thicker and heavier than previous iPads, Slightly overpriced
Overall, the 2017 iPad is a very solid tablet that ticks all the right boxes. It has a nice and crisp Retina display, solid build quality, the iconic iPad Air 1 design and truly superb battery life. In fact, it is one of the few devices whose battery life...
