New iPad 9.7 (2017) review By The Verge

Hey, so you want a new iPad. That's great! Let me ask you something, though: do you want to think about the future of computing, and can the iPad replace a tablet and like what does the stylus do a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah? No, you want an iPad to do. iPad things like watching Netflix or playing games and good news. Apple made it. It's called the iPad, and it starts at just $329. Ok, I know you want to know more, so I will give you some more information here.

This iPad replaces the iPad Air 2, but it looks and feels a little more like the original iPad Air one. So what does that mean? Well, first, it's just a little thicker than I've had air 2, and it also has a screen from the iPad Air 1. Now, what does that mean? Well, first, the LCD isn't laminated to the glass, so it feels like it's sent back a little from the front of the device which, whatever it's not that big a deal to me. The bigger deal with it is that it's a little more reflective than the iPad Air 2, but you know what honestly forget all that. What matters is that this it's an iPad and so the screen looks great.

It's a Retina display, and it's also very fast. It has a new a9 processor in it, and so, while it's not as fast or as beautiful or as high-end as an iPad Pro, it's still very, very good at doing iPad things, because again it's an iPad. Now this is a part of the review where I tell you about all the amazing new features and Apple's new iPad, but I. Actually, don't have to do that, because this iPad is just an iPad. It doesn't have the smart connector that you would get on the iPad Pro for attaching keyboards.

It doesn't support the Apple Pencil. The cameras are, you know if they're, finding their iPad cameras and that's not a knock on this thing at all, because again this starts at $329 and if all you want to do are the traditional iPad things, this iPad is great for that, and so honestly, the big question with this iPad is: should you upgrade and if you look at what's happening in the tech press or investors, everybody's super worried that not everybody's upgrading their iPads enough for Apple. That's apples problem, that's not your problem! Your problem is, does the iPad that you have now work good enough and if not, should you get this one? Let me break it down. If you have an iPad, that's older than an iPad Air, this iPad is gonna, be pretty amazing, you're, really gonna, love it, and again it's cheap, but if you have an iPad Air or an iPad Air to this thing, isn't going to be at much of an upgrade over your existing iPad, so you're, probably fine to just stick with it. Now, there's two other weird things you might consider.

If you really care about a beautiful, perfect screen, you could consider getting a refurbished iPad Air 2. But honestly, if you care that much, you should probably just spend the extra money and get an iPad Pro. It is a lot more, but the screen is way better, and it is a little faster than this iPad I'm insane iPad a lot and that's because. This thing is called an iPad, but also because everybody knows what an iPad is. Everybody knows what they like to use: an iPad for, and apples not trying to reinvent anything with this iPad.

It's just letting you do those things for a relatively inexpensive price. You can't sit on the couch. You can watch your Netflix, you can play some games, you can browse the web and this does all that stuff. Incredibly. Well, it's an iPad.

It's an iPad! It's an iPad! Furthermore, it's an iPad Apple named this device, iPad the iPad and iPad this iPad, it's an iPad, it's an iPad, it's an iPad and if you need an iPad, get an iPad, it's just iPad.
