Re: the new iPad 9.7"

[Alex Hall]

For those considering the Mini over the iPad 5, remember that the Mini is less 
powerful and more expensive. The only Mini option is $399 for the 128GB 
version, while the iPad 5 starts at $329 for 32GB. Yes, for the same storage, 
the 5 is more expensive, but if you only need 32GB you can save money and get a 
more powerful device. Just something to keep in mind, especially for iOS 
updates in the years to come.

RE: the new iPad 9.7"

[Simon Fogarty]

Yeah it’s a new entry level device,
Lighter and cheaper  other than that I would go with the mini 4 again,

Or even better an iPad Pro Mini
 Now that I’d really go for,

Only thing is that I found it bloody difficult tryng to write with a pen / 
pencil again, when using the 12 inch Pro iPad.

Hi. The screen is a bit of a downgrade as it’s the same quality as the one on 
the iPad Air. I wouldn’t purchase this model as it is fragile and far from 
being solid. The Pro line is a better option or stick to the Air 2.

The reasons I can see are:

* They were able to rename it to the iPad, thus simplifying the iPad lineup

* They upped the CPU, from the A8X of the Air 2 to the A9.

* They made some changes to the screen and body, letting them lower the price 
to offer a more compelling entry-level tablet

I believe they are really pointing this towards institutional buyers much like 
the eMac of old. Make it not quite as light, and not as great at graphics, but 
I believe the education price is $299.

I have seen a few school boards move from using iPads to using Chrome Books. 
Chromium appears to be at least as secure as IOS and one gets a keyboard 
bundled in albeit not a keyboard I enjoy typing on.

Hi Scott,

 No chance it bytes in to pro line,

 The specs are far lighter in the new 5,
 Mind you I'd kind of like to see a pro in the mini size.
And no matter what product they need to bring the pricing down.

RE: the new iPad 9.7"

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Alex,

Yeah those are the only things I could really see.

Processor as the a9 is still behind the iPhone 7x processor but think the a10 
is in  the pro iPads,

Better screen slightly lighter and I wasn’t sure for a start but is the price 
really down slightly?

Here in nz the 5 128 GB models are: 699 for wifi,
919 for wifi / cellular
 Still bloody costly,

I’m happy currently with my mini 4
Would bein heaven if I could rdp in t o my windows machines and macs for that 
matter with speech access.

The reasons I can see are:

* They were able to rename it to the iPad, thus simplifying the iPad lineup

* They upped the CPU, from the A8X of the Air 2 to the A9.

* They made some changes to the screen and body, letting them lower the price 
to offer a more compelling entry-level tablet

Re: the new iPad 9.7"

[Scott Granados]

I’ve heard great things about chrome but not used it myself so can’t directly 
comment.

Somethings off hand I know chrome does better for example is includes cellular 
access in the Chromebook line.  Why the hell I can’t get internal cellular LTE 
access in my MacBook just baffles me.  I’ve got all sorts of WiFi, wired ports 
for gigabit access, very good bluetooth and no LTE, really?  Apple wants me to 
use that hotspot feature that badly they won’t give me internal always on 
access?  I say bah!


Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine.

Re: the new iPad 9.7"

[Jonathan Cohn]

I believe they are really pointing this towards institutional buyers much
like the eMac of old. Make it not quite as light, and not as great at
graphics, but I believe the education price is $299.

I have seen a few school boards move from using iPads to using Chrome
Books. Chromium appears to be at least as secure as IOS and one gets a
keyboard bundled in albeit not a keyboard I enjoy typing on.

Best Wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Are there going to be any upgrades in the pro line?  This seems to bite in to

Re: the new iPad 9.7"

[Cameron Strife]

The main reason seems to be that they wanted to compete with cheaper
tablets. The camera is eight megapixel instead of 12 for example...

I think it's a good idea as you have tablets like the fire and fire
hdx etc dominating that below $350 pricepoint for the most part.

Re: the new iPad 9.7"

[Alex Hall]

The reasons I can see are:

* They were able to rename it to the iPad, thus simplifying the iPad lineup

* They upped the CPU, from the A8X of the Air 2 to the A9.

* They made some changes to the screen and body, letting them lower the price 
to offer a more compelling entry-level tablet
