A review of the 2017 9.7in iPad to find out if it's a good upgrade for anyone still using an older iPad.

Another fantastic device from Apple, but we're not so happy about the price premium you pay for the 3G version.

Quality construction; Attractive housing; Vibrant; bright display; 802.11n Wi-Fi; 3G-enabled (certain models; 10 hours of battery life; Fast processor; App Store compatibility; Usable virtual keyboard

Lacks support for Flash content; No multitasking with current firmware; Screen difficult to view in direct sunlight; No camera; Heavy to hold for extended periods; Lacks HDMI output; native HD resolution

Light and responds quickly; Beautiful screen definition and a fantastic quality camera

The black screen is a magnet for fingerprints

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

Conclusion 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.

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

good price/value; advanced technologically; pleasure for the youngsters.

Purchased the ipad for around Rs 9k less than the original price. Coming to the warranty, there was no issue of claiming the warranty.Just enter the serial number in the apple website and you will get it. I got the warranty for a period of 1 year. Pros: 1.Excellent build. 2.Decent camera.

About a month ago I updated from the original iPad Air, and I couldn't be happier! I now have Touch ID, loads more storage, a much quicker Ipad in general. I always do the latest updates, but even that didn't allow me to do certain things on my old iPad... on this one, I can do anything! LOVE IT!

This is the base model of course, so if you want 128GB rather than 32GB of storage, you'll have to pay £429.
