Rumors of a more affordable 9.7-inch iPad model are true after all! Apple just unveiled a new 9.7-inch tablet, simply named the iPad which replaces the iPad Air 2.
The new iPad comes with a brighter Retina Display and is powered by an A9 chipset. In comparison, the retired iPad Air 2 model has a dimmer display and runs on an A8X chipset. However, the new iPad is thicker (7.5mm vs 6.1mm) and heavier (469g vs 437g) than the iPad Air 2.
Unlike the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, the new iPad is only available in three colors (silver, space grey and gold). It will come in two storage options (32GB and 128GB) for Wi-Fi only and cellular models. Sales of the iPad will begin on 24 March from 11.01 pm. Here's the pricing of the new iPad:
