I've focused a lot in this review on what the new Apple iPad (2017) doesn't have and, although the existence of the iPad Pro series makes that inevitable, it isn't a particularly fair way to view it.

Just upgraded from a Generation 2 iPad to this Generation 5 iPad. WOW!! What a difference. Being able to keep the same setup, layout and not have to learn a whole new system is always a plus when it comes to iPad and Apple in general.

I bought this iPad for my mom (68 years old) so she can see her games better. She LOVES it! It is perfect for her & we had no problems setting it up! Thank you!

It was in fine shape physically and charged and turned on fine, but with somebody else's passcode still on it! What the heck! Hopefully the folks at the Apple store can help me.

What can I say This is one of the best purchases I've made for a long time. Screen is brilliant, not laminated I was told but side by side with my mothers iPad Air 2 you can hardly tell the difference, screen is brighter on this iPad than the air 2 too.Battery life is good, lasts most of the day...

Sure, there are some compromises compared to the iPad Pro, but the 9.7in iPad (2017) offers everything many people will need in a tablet: good performance, screen and camera, and excellent battery life, at a very competitive price.

The Apple iPad (2017) may not set off any fireworks, operating on a ‘more of the same, but better' ethos – but what it does, it does very well indeed.

Fast; smooth performance; Bright screen and solid blacks; Rich colours; crisp detail; Beautiful design; Good starting price

Screen is rather reflective; No brand new features

Love the fact I can finally use my photo editing program, having 128GB memory, and a lot faster, I no longer have to keep taking apps off. My old iPad was only 16GB, couldn't really do much with it. Well worth buying.

Replaced my iPad gen 4 model with this new model, mostly because I wanted more storage space for my apps, games, photos, videos, etc. 128gb is the way to go...plenty of space and room to do it all! ... nad the A9 chip in this puppy races with fast responses to any demands..

My ancient ipad wouldn't work with the reader that I needed to use for online books for school. The new one works great. Apps that I use for online newspapers also work much better. Overall, it was a vast improvement.
