The editors didn't like
No volume silencer
Not a lot new
Pro 9.7in is very expensive
Is it possible to make a tablet too beautiful? Maybe we're neurotic
But these are versatile
Multi-tasking devices – is that always best served all dressed up in your Sunday best? We do feel like we have to smother its waif-like aluminium in a chunky cas
The 16GB option is still too small for Retina HD apps
As they'll munch through your capacity in no time at all
Add to that the increased space a 64-bit app will take and if you're thinking of nabbing a load of high-power apps (which you should want to
The 16GB option was too small
But Apple has now ditched that giving you 32GB and 128GB models which suit this slate much better and makes the entry level option far more approachable

Insanely thin and light, lovely design and impeccable build quality, less display glare, Touch ID is a useful addition
We'd love to see Apple do more with multitasking in iOS for the big tablet
