Apple updated its iPad and iPad mini tablets yesterday. In some I expanded my memory, in others I improved the filling more thoroughly. But in all cases it reduced prices. The life hacker figured out if there is a benefit.
iPad
Apple decided not to experiment with the name, so it's just an iPad. The novelty replaces the iPad Air 2 and is significantly cheaper than the latter. In addition to the cost, this tablet has a new, more powerful processor: the A9 instead of the A8X, which was equipped with the iPad Air 2. But even with it, the filling is not powerful enough to compete with the iPad Pro.
Now the new iPad is the most affordable Apple tablet. It makes sense to buy it if the device is needed for multimedia, social networks and other simple processes that do not heavily load the hardware.
Comparison of technical characteristics of modern iPads
| Display | Filling | Memory | Camera | Price | Colors | |
| iPad (2017) | 9.7 inches, 2,048 x 1,536 (264 ppi) | Apple A9 2GB | 32 GB and 128 GB | 8 MP, f / 2.4; 1,920 × 1,080 (1080p HD, 30 fps) | from 24 990 rubles | Space Gray, Silver, Gold |
| iPad Air 2 (2014) | 9.7 inches, 2,048 x 1,536 (264 ppi) | Apple A8X 2GB | 128 GB | 8 MP, f / 2.4; 1,920 × 1,080 (1080p HD, 30 fps) | from 40 990 rubles | Space Gray, Silver, Gold |
| iPad Pro (2016) | 9.7 inches, 2,048 x 1,536 (264 ppi) | Apple A9X 2GB | 256 GB | 12 MP, f / 2.4; 3 840 × 2 160 (4K, 30 fps), 1 920 × 1 080 (1080p HD, 120 fps) | from 44 990 rubles | Space Gray, Silver, Gold, Rose Gold |
iPad mini 4
Starting today, the only possible iPad mini 4 in the Apple Store is 128GB of internal storage. On the one hand, you no longer have the option to choose the amount of storage. On the other hand, Apple has cut prices for the 128GB model. So, iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi costs 29,990 rubles, and the LTE model costs 39,990 rubles.
Last year, when the iPhone 7 was presented, the company updated the storage capacity of the iPhone 6s, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4. Since the fall, mini 4 can be purchased with 32 GB and 128 GB of memory from 32,990 rubles.
Compare: when the iPad mini 4 came out about a year and a half ago, it cost from 32,990 rubles for a 16GB model. The 128GB version is now cheaper.
The iPad mini 4 is now a decent compact tablet with 2GB of RAM and an Apple A8 chip. In other words, this is the same iPhone 6, but with more RAM and long battery life.
Apple is rumored to be preparing a new 10.5-inch bezel-less iPad Pro. It could have been shown at the traditional spring presentation, but now there are doubts whether it will take place at all. If not, the new tablet could be unveiled at WWDC 2017 in June. Or even later.
