Apple Unveils New 9.7-inch iPad for Rs. 28,900, But it Lacks the Features of iPad Pro

In-line with all the leaks and rumours, Apple quietly updated its popular mid-range tablet iPad Air 2. The new iPad retains the same display size of 9.7-inch as the iPad Air 2, but it will be now called as just ‘iPad.’ The all new iPad bears the lowest price tag ever for an iPad Air series at Rs. 28,900. The new iPad will be up for pre-order from March 24 and will go on sale from next week.

The new iPad is powered by the Apple A9 SoC, but not the rumoured A9X, though. The iPad weighs 469 grams and measures 7.5mm in thickness, which means that the newly announced iPad matches the iPad Air and not the iPad Air 2. Also, it did not take any design cues from the iPad Pro.

The all new iPad comes with the same 9.7-inch display with a resolution of 1536×2048 pixels, which also matches the previous generation iPads. At the rear side of the phone, there’s an 8MP rear camera that lacks support for flash. The TouchID is built into the home button of the tablet, and the new iPad will be made available in 32GB and 128GB storage options. The iPad will be available in three colour options: Space Grey, Silver, and Gold colours, but there are no details on the Rose Gold variant existence as of now.
