this iPad has the A9 chip, which was in iphone 6s and 6s plus not the A10 chip in iphone 7's, and not he A8X chip the iPad air 2 has. it also does not have an anti-reflective screen and a laminated screen.

Weight and size

When the iPad is placed in a cover that protects its edges it is quite difficult to use the fingerprint access; Particularly if you've positioned the iPad to stand up in landscape position; That's annoying

I go to a state university with a massive campus and after two years of lugging around laptops/books I was fed up. I looked around for a few days for the best note taking tablet for college and got this.

My second Apple iPad, replacing an old second generation device. The new iPad is even better. IOS is a dream to use compared to other operating systems and everything about the iPad just oozes quality, even the packaging!

The new IPAD provides more capability in web gaming and other preloaded app on the IPAD. The price is reasonable for the features and conveniences that you gained from the device.

Very Good

Old wine in new bottles – we hear this quite often when a manufacturer refreshes a supposedly old product. Especially when it is equipped with dated technology. This is also the case for Apple's latest iPad. The iOS tablet from 2017 is just that: recycled, dated hardware in an even older chassis.

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outdated SoC; very glossy screen; old LTE standard; slightly increased black value; no support for Apple pencil

The 2017 iPad's new, aggressive pricing is laser-guided to take down premium-priced Android equivalents. That, plus its impressive battery life and infinite well-curated apps, make it today's best-value tablet.

Newly competitive price for its screen size; Solid construction; Strong app ecosystem; Satisfying battery life

Incrementally thicker than predecessor; Slow charging

It's hard not to compare this fifth-generation iPad to the tablets that came before it as it's essentially a hodgepodge of hardware and components Apple already had lying around with the latest iOS software slapped on top. But a Frankenstein's monster this is not.

Respectable battery life; Sturdy and lightweight; Beautiful design; Affordable

This iPad offers a solid, consistent tablet experience at the lowest price we've seen from Apple in a new, full-size tablet. In essence, it answers the question for those with dying 2-3 year old iPads who want to know what they should upgrade to, without spending £500+ on an iPad Pro.

Great app ecosystem; Easy to use interface; Slick and reliable performance; Long lasting battery

Screen not quite as good as the iPad Air 2
