A new model of iPad, which was called ... iPad. Without any prefixes, it's so simple, but at the same time a little strange. What is the new iPad like? In this material, we examined the characteristics of the novelty.

Design

iPad is updated internally iPad Air first generation. There really are no differences in the appearance of the tablets - their design, dimensions and even weight are identical. In both cases, the dimensions are 240 x 169.5 x 7.5 mm, and the weight is 469 g in the case of the Wi-Fi version and 478 g in the case of wifi model+ Cellular.

Apparently when the spring of 2016 year of Apple released the iPhone SE, which turned out to be an exact copy iPhone 5s in appearance, the company liked this move. Apple decided to do the same trick with the new iPad, believing that tablets in the old guise can be passed off as new ones. Well, the iPhone SE has become quite successful due to its chic features, but how is the iPad doing with hardware?

"Filling"

At the heart of the iPad is a dual-core A9 processor with 64-bit architecture and an integrated M9 motion co-processor. Similar chips are installed in very fast devices - iPhone 6s / 6s Plus and iPhone SE, so you should not worry about the performance of the new iPad. Volume random access memory Apple has not traditionally announced it, but most likely it is 2 GB.

The iPad has a 9.7-inch display with a resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels (264 ppi). It has an oleophobic coating, but no more. Chips like full lamination, True Tone, extended color gamut and anti-reflective coating, like the iPad Pro, the novelty does not.

The main camera in the iPad has a resolution of 8 megapixels, aperture ƒ / 2.4, five-element lens, autofocus, support for shooting HD video at 1080p resolution (30 fps) and slow motion video (120 fps). The iPad borrowed the camera from its predecessor iPad Air 2, so you can already evaluate exactly how the new tablet will shoot:

Front-camera iPad has a resolution of 1.2 megapixels, ƒ / 2.2 aperture and the ability to record HD-video at a resolution of 720p.

The Touch ID scanner also migrated to the iPad from the iPad Air 2. It is a representative of the second generation of Apple sensors, respectively, it works super-fast.

The exact capacity of the iPad battery has not yet been clarified. Apple notes that the tablet can work standard 10 hours on the Internet for WiFi networks(as well as the iPad Air), which means, most likely, the battery capacity is 8600 mAh.

Price

For old design but modern Apple specifications asks for the next price updated November 13, 2017):

iPad 32 GB Wi-Fi - 23,990 rubles.
iPad 32 GB Wi-Fi + Cellular - 33,990 rubles.
iPad 128 GB Wi-Fi - 31,490 rubles.
iPad 128 GB Wi-Fi + Cellular - 39,990 rubles.

Apple recently introduced its new iPad 2017 tablet. Its main feature is the price, in the minimum configuration it costs from $360. On the this moment this is the cheapest tablet from Apple, not counting the first generation iPad mini. Once again, Apple's huge 9.7-inch tablet for $360, how can you resist?

Ipad design 2017

The design of the iPad 2017 is not exactly modern, it is a huge device, it is made in the classic design of Apple. Nothing superfluous, a metal case, a logo on the back, huge bezels around the screen and a small fingerprint sensor in touch id. Of course, you can’t slander such a bandurina in your pocket, be prepared for this. The body is very thin.

The tablet is assembled perfectly, the only complaint I have is the location of the lock and volume buttons on top.

Screen

The screen size is 9.7 inches. He's great. You don't expect extreme brightness from a screen this size. By the way, this is an IPS matrix with a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels, 264 ppi. Separate points are not visible, there is no graininess. There is night mode, when the screen turns yellow and it harms your eyes less, it is set in the settings.

Of the shortcomings Ipad screen 2017 can be noted insufficiently saturated colors and a disgusting oleophobic coating.

The RAM in the tablet is 2 Gb, constant 32 or 128. I now have a 32 GB version for the homeless. As CPU Apple A9 is used, it is built on 14 nm process technology, has two cores of 1.8 GHz each, plus an M9 motion co-processor.

The video accelerator is PowerVR GT7600. This processor not new, it was first used in Apple smartphones Iphone 6S and 6S+ in 2015 and Iphone SE in 2016. But he's still upbeat.

Ipad 2017 in synthetic tests

Antutu showed 126,000 parrots, GeekBench 2549 in single core and 4442 in multi-core tests. For 360 bucks and a two-year-old processor, these are very cool figures, despite the fact that there was almost no throttling.

Autonomy of work

Ipad 2017 has an 8610 mAh battery, the charger gives out 5.1 V 2.1 A. It takes about 3.5 hours to charge, it lasts a damn eternity. When he first came to me, he was 97% charged.

Then I installed all the necessary software on it, tested it in benchmarks, played games, watched videos on Youtube for 2 hours, did not charge it for the night and went to bed. The next day, I repeated the same thing, only I browsed even more and drove more in benchmarks. The brightness all this time was either at maximum or at 70%.

As a result, by the afternoon of the second day, I had 65% of the charge left. It's impossible to put him down! 10 hours of screen at 30 - 40% brightness will stretch freely. This is surprising, given that the screen is brighter than the competition. Even in bright sunlight, you can easily see small elements.

Gaming Performance

In terms of gaming performance, the iPad is very cool. Not the best option to play on such a huge screen, the controls are far from each other, but the diagonal is royal, as is the performance in games, and optimization.

I won’t say that it pulls everything without lags, there are still fps drawdowns, and the graphics are not always as juicy as on devices with 821 Snapdragon. The tablet almost does not heat up, even under stress, it remains barely warm. But due to the fact that IOS is a closed system, I cannot provide accurate temperature data. But believe me, the same 7 Iphone turns into an oven. And here same with temperatures full order.

Ipad 2017 is definitely a gaming device, there is a lot of gaming content for IOS, much more than in Google Play. It doesn't mean that iOS is better, the content, for the most part, is still rather mediocre and in the top there is some kind of dissimilarity from flashlights and games like "three in a row".

Everyone knows that games on the App Store come out a couple of weeks earlier than on Google Play. Owners of IOS devices are sincerely proud of this and consider it their personal achievement. Let's just leave them with that thought, praise the iPad for its gaming performance and talk more about connectivity.

Ipad 2017 communication features

The tablet comes with and without an LTE modem. I don't see the point in spending the extra $150 for LTE and the ability to put nano in sim card, so I took the Wi-Fi version. Ipad LTE supports Bends in a wide range of frequencies, this is as many as 22 Bends, it will catch all over the world. From wireless modules there is Wi-Fi 2.4 or 5 GHz AC standard. It provides throughput up to 866 megabits per second. It also has Bluetooth 4.2.

For navigation Wi-Fi or LTE network, as well as a digital compass. There is no GPS on the tablet.

cameras

8 megapixel main camera with f2.4 aperture and 1.2 megapixel front camera with f2.2 aperture. The main camera has panoramic shooting and photography in HDR mode. The maximum resolution for Full HD video is 30 fps. There is also HD 120 fps slow motion video shooting. Cameras for a tablet are very worthy, probably one of the best that are in such devices. But don't expect anything good from the front camera, it's only for Skype.

Separately, I would like to note the sound, there are two stereo speakers on the bottom side. The sound comes out very rich, loud, but it seemed to me a little muffled. This sound is great for watching videos and listening to music. But when playing games, the speakers are often closed with the palm of your hand.

From the headphones, the sound is also excellent, there are no complaints about the sound. I like the sound in Ipad 2017. I also like the fact that there is a 3.5 mm jack with a separate hole.

hardware chips

Of the hardware chips, there is a fingerprint scanner under the screen. It does not always work the first time, and reaching under the screen is not always convenient. But in general, its use is not infuriating and convenient, because in the App Store you can pay with a fingerprint, and not with a password, as in the old days.

If we talk about the software part, then there is IOS 10, the root of all evil and all the problems for the technologist and the object of adoration for everyone else. But here I like it more than not.

With all this, the shell still lags, although the A9 is a powerful processor, it’s hard for him to pull such a large resolution. There are such places when, for example, you scroll or scroll through anything, and he specifically lags. Not always, basically everything is smooth and good, but there are lags. Well, there was an unpleasant bug on the firmware system when you want to take a screenshot, and the tablet goes away and reboots.

Main IOS cons is the inability to work with internal memory, transfer files via bluetooth, download files from the Internet and do something more complicated than posting photos on Instagram and sitting on social networks.

Everything is a little different here, unlike a smartphone, I do not use the Ipad as a working tool. The only thing that is required of him is watching videos on YouTube and movies online, barusing and playing games. With these tablet copes, as well as with all entertainment programs.

I don't like IOS, I will never understand why so many restrictions are needed? But I like the interface and some goodies, such as multi-window. You run one application on one part of the screen, and another on the other.

I also liked AirDrop. The only pity is that this program only works with Apple products and in order to transfer photos to a computer, you need to use Icloud or iTunes, or buy yourself a Mac Book. But other than that, when compared Ipad job and alternatives to it on Android or Windows, then, of course, the iPad 2017 is definitely worth its price.

This great device, which will last for many years, and then it can be sold to the next Apple fanatic for almost the same price as it was 3 years ago. It is worth noting an important detail in the App App store for iphone and ipad are separated. And you can often find programs that are not optimized for large screens, but you can still download them.

Such an application is, for example, Instagram, it is not available for Ipad, so after installation, the image is scaled from the Iphone 720p extension to 1536p. That is, a little more than twice. As a result, what happens on the screen is pain, sadness and horror. And there are many such applications. When buying an iPad, be prepared for the fact that there is no way to fix this.

The rest of the iPad 2017 is a good device. Apple has made a decent, affordable tablet. If you are not afraid of all their restrictions, if you are willing to spend $ 360 on good device, which will serve you for a long time and will not fall apart in the first year of use, if you love Apple products and have long wanted to have at least something from apple technology, then you can take the Ipad 2017 for personal use.

Chinese manufacturers make good equipment for their money, but for some reason, tablets are the worst for them. stands out from the gray mass good quality. As long as it's the best chinese tablet what is on the market. But he has a disgusting firmware, and he is not cheap. Giving $ 250 for Mediatek is a very controversial pleasure.

Summing up, we can say that the merit is no longer Apple, it seems like they made a good cheap tablet, but that the era of tablets has passed. They could not give us any unique features, but simply duplicate the functions of a smartphone, and in 2017 it is more logical to take a smartphone with a large screen than a tablet. The smartphone will be more versatile.

- not for you, then there are still many options to choose from.
Do you want a device with a compact 7.9-inch screen, a medium-sized 9.7-inch screen, or a huge 12.9-inch monster? Do you need a tablet with a powerful processor, or are you ready to settle for a device with more modest specifications? Are you looking for a real laptop replacement, or just a convenient device for web browsing?

In any case, there is an iPad for you that will meet exactly your needs. And to make it easier for you to buy, we have chosen for you best iPad 2017 with different features and screen sizes.
So, we bring to your attention the three best models from Apple.

In this review, we have listed all of their specs, pointed out their pros and cons to help you make an informed buying decision.

Pros: Inexpensive, big screen
Cons: thicker than Air

Apple's latest iPad isn't the best of the best, but it strikes a good balance between price and features. The new iPad (2017) is intended to replace the iPad Air 2 in Apple's lineup.

Yes, it lacks support for a smart keyboard and Apple Pencil, but the A9 chipset is still very fast, and the 9.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1536x2048 pixels is crisp, bright and high-quality.

It also boasts a unibody metal body like the rest of Apple's iPad models, although this model is slightly thicker than the iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro 9.7 at 7.5mm.

Supports Touch ID, runs iOS 10. Offers up to 10 hours battery life when surfing the web or watching videos. Because the new iPad (2017) is a great media player and a powerful tablet for those who do not plan to use it for work.

Pros: speakers, storage up to 256 GB
Cons: price

For ordinary user tablet 9.7 is one of the best options(especially if money doesn't matter to you, since this model costs 49,990 rubles; and if you want more than 32 GB of memory, the price will be higher).

We think a 9.7-inch screen is the perfect size. It's big enough to offer much more than a phone screen, but not so big that it's still portable.

The dimensions of the device are 240x169.5x6.1 mm, weight 437 grams, so we can say that the iPad Pro 9.7 is as thin and light as the iPad Air 2.

The tablet is quite powerful, provided by the A9X chipset and 2 GB of RAM. The device is equipped with four speakers for serious media lovers, a wonderful True Tone speaker that adapts its color intensity to your surroundings, and of course, offers the ability to use the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

The iPad Pro 9.7 comes with up to 256GB of storage if you're willing to pay, so you won't feel bad about the lack of a microSD card slot. This device is likely to remain powerful and universal tablet for the next few years, so if you spend now, you may not think about a new purchase for the next few years.

Pros: large screen, stylish design
Cons: outdated processor

Not everyone likes large screens, for this segment of users there is a 7.9-inch iPad mini 4. This screen size suggests that this tablet is much more compact than Apple's larger tablets, especially at 299g. And yes, it fits in a bag with no problems.

At the same time, it is large enough to comfortably surf the Internet or watch videos when you are away from home and large screens, but in this regard it is clearly inferior to its 9.7- and 12.9-inch "brothers".

Its small size and lack of a smart jack detracts from its performance compared to the Pro series, but it's not positioned as a laptop replacement either.

That said, this tablet is still pretty powerful, thanks to 2GB of RAM and the not-so-new but still impressive Apple A8 chip. The screen is crisp, delivers rich colors and provides good visibility even in bright sunlight.

Today we'll talk about new Apple iPad. Tablets, as conceived by Steve Jobs, were supposed to take a place between laptops and smartphones, provided that they could offer special qualities.

Were iOS tablets able to become an indispensable thing in 7 years? Several of my acquaintances have switched from laptops to tablets, they work on such devices, but there are not so many people of this kind. For most people, having an iPad in the house doesn't matter much. News, sitting on the toilet, you can flip through the phone with a large screen. So the tablet remains the same device for consuming content, and only a few create on it.

Who is this iPad for?

If you once gave your mom, sister or grandmother an iPad, then it's time to think about relatives and think about updating old technology.

The new iPad is not for those who have bought an iPad Pro or Air 2 in recent years. No, it's for other users. For those who do not want to overpay for a thin body, for extra bells and whistles that they will not use.

As an iPad Air 2 user, I initially looked at the iPad with disappointment. But then, when you compare the price, everything falls into place. This is a good thing, easy to use and with very good features.

For 24,990 rubles you get 32 GB of memory, fresh processor Apple A9 (as in iPhone 6s/6s Plus, iPhone SE), 2 GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera, 1.2 front camera (that's a shame, Apple). If 32 GB is not enough, you can pay extra and take the 128 GB option for 31,990 rubles.

New. But how old

It makes no sense to describe the design of the tablet, it is almost the same as Apple iPad Air, only there is no longer a lever to turn it on silent mode or auto-rotate lock. But there was a scanner Fingerprint Touch An ID that was not in Air.

Cases can be used with the tablet Smart Cover old series, it's practical. From time to time, stores sell leftovers that have been stale since the iPad Air. And cases from it are suitable for Air 2, and for the new iPad.

There is no cover with a keyboard for it, the Apple Pencil does not work with it either, these chips were saved for the iPad Pro. I do not think that buyers will be very worried about these restrictions.

iPad got a fresh A9 processor and 2 GB of RAM, it's nimble and fast. I had an iPad 2, iPad 4 and Air 2 at hand, so in terms of speed it is comparable to the Air 2. Compared to older models like the iPad 2 or 4, it’s just a jet unit.

Over time, everything is fine. Apple promises that the iPad will last 10 hours on a single charge. If you watch a YouTube video with the maximum screen brightness, then the tablet sits down by 8% in 1.5 hours.

good screen

The screen migrated here from the first generation iPad Air. All the same Retina-screen with a resolution of 1536x2048 pixels. You can notice the air gap, it is not in either Air 2 or Pro. There is also no True Tone mode with automatic white balance adjustment, as in the iPad Pro.

If you go outside with a tablet, you will notice that the display is glare, the data is not visible as well as on Air 2. But, if you do not compare the new iPad with a more expensive model, but proceed from the fact that a real buyer is likely to switch co old iPad 3-5 years ago, then you will like the picture.

Which iPad to choose?

Apple has made it extremely easy to choose. You need an iPad - you go to the store and buy "just" an iPad. Want a slim body? Better speakers and generally plan to create on a tablet? Take a look at the iPad Pro. Maybe even stick with the 12.9-inch Pro model, which can also replace a laptop if you fork out for a keyboard.

Apple removed Air 2 from sale, which confused buyers, there were too few differences between it and Pro, and the difference in price was in favor of the first. iPad mini remained in the only version - this is a model with 128 GB of memory with LTE support or without it, no pangs of choice.

I liked that Apple settled down with the names, because if you remember the history, the hairs on the head stand on end: iPad, iPad 2, The New iPad, iPad with Retina and so on. Now there will be fewer problems, it will become easier for people to explain which model is on hand when buying accessories.

Price

In America, the new iPad costs $329, in Russia the initial version with 32 GB of memory is sold for 24,990 rubles. The price steers, for comparison, the iPad Pro in the basic version will cost 44,990 rubles.

Overpay for improved performance or not? Everyone decides for himself what is more important to him, but if the iPad Pro is an expensive thing, then the “just” iPad is a perfectly balanced solution.

Is it worth switching from an old iPad to a new one? Yes, he's the best Apple tablet one of those that were produced before Air 2. And if you compare it with Air 2? Air 2 is better, only there are almost none left for sale, and they are more expensive.

Opinion

Most often, reviews about Apple technology boil down to the fact that the device is good, but expensive. In the case of the Apple iPad, the verdict is different. The tablet costs adequate money already at the start, if you are not ready to overpay for the bells and whistles Pro versions take it and be satisfied. Apple iPad (2017) is good as the first and only iOS device with a large screen for all occasions.
