High-quality display; responsive; fast performance; good battery life; lightweight

4G not available in UK yet; lack of killer new feature

Pull it off the shelf at the Apple Store, and you'd be hard-pressed by sight alone to distinguish the new sixth-generation 9.7-inch iPad from last year's model . And under the hood, it's not much different, where there's simply a speedier A10 processor. The new iPad is, well, an iPad.
