The iPad 9.7 is a great tablet for those that want just that: a tablet. It's short of the power and performance of the iPad Pro range, but the addition of Apple Pencil compatibility and the A10 chipset bring it pretty close, and for a lot less cash. It irks that you need to buy the Pencil separately to unlock a key feature, and design-wise we're seeing something pretty old-school here... but for the price it's hard to criticize too much, and this is still one of the best tablets on the market.
The new iPad 9.7 for 2018 is designed to achieve one thing: deliver the best of AppleA¢a,¬a,,¢s tablet efforts at a more affordable price.
Note that we say more affordable, rather than cheap A¢a,¬" because the cost is still higher than many other tablets out there A¢a,¬" but the upgrades bring a lot to the iPad, bridging the gap between a A¢a,¬EoestandardA¢a,¬a,,¢ slate and the more impressive iPad Pro range.
Support for the Apple Pencil adds another dimension to the tablet, enabling a method of interaction and bringing with it a slew of new apps to interact with, and the upgraded chipset inside A¢a,¬" the same one that powered the iPhone 7 A¢a,¬" offers more power than many will know what to do with.
