confirmed what i thought and expected already. no more pixels to process? no more ram needed.
I will not be upgrading because its 100 usd higher price because this is not a pro model. this is an ipad air with 4 speakers and allow you to use a extra 100 usd pencil------while your ipad will wobble on its table unless you also spend ~50 usd on a decent case.
Apple cheapens out on "Pro" spec in creating a "Pro" product with "Pro" Price.
This is a shameful moneygrab by Apple.The device is nothing more than a Air 3.TC just gave it a "Pro" label and jacked up the price.2 GB of ram and an underclocked A9X prove this is NO pro device in the slightest.Even Surface 3 provides 4 gigs of RAM for sub 500 bucks
I agree, but most people won't have a clue how much ram either model have and will be lining up to get the "pro" model and saying "wow, the pro is only 100.00 more than the air 2 was".
In real life this hasn't been a problem for me with my iPad Air 2. I'm more concerned about the time it needs to render a webpage the first time. The A9X runs at a much higher clock speed than the A8X. So there are benefits in single core speed.It is just not about the apps, but just how many app and/or safari tabs you can have on a running state. -

im gonna wait until the iphone 7. if that still has an protuding camera i'm OUT. then i will get an adroid. Not that i like that, but apple is simply becoming less and less and less the apple that i have known a couple of years ago. protuding cameras, buggy software, mediocre upgrades in both software and hardware and still asking more and more euro for it.

I was going to purchase the new iPad and now it comes out that it only has 2GB of RAM? Are you kidding me?? The same as iPhone SE or even my old iPad Air 2. Why the hack do you call it PRO? This is insane.. Now I'm really considering getting the big iPad Pro..
Now I'm really considering getting the big iPad Pro..
So this 9.7" Pro doesn't have a new screen (a better one than the 12" Pro), better camera (again, better than the 12" Pro), and support for Pencil?
No, it's rather more about what I prefer to be paying for that matters.Sure - if it makes you feel good calling it that!
who cares about the specs. Everything works well.

Wow - I didn't know the difference made by the RAM is such a big difference. Looks as if going from 2 to 4GB is significant as going from iPad 1 to iPad 2 - former wasn't really usable with multi-tab.
