Apple Debuts New 9.7-Inch iPad With A9 Chip to Replace iPad Air 2, Starting at $329

I'm interested to find out if this screen has the Air 1 or Air 2 refresh rates. The Air 2 model refreshed the screen at half the rate of the Air 1 model, which wreaked havoc with non-Apple Bluetooth pen devices. So if it is the Air 1 model screen, it may actually be an upgrade for some people.
Higher costs of operating in UK? They expect that the pound will become weaker still?
I do agree 7% is quite a bit though. iPhone 7 plus is about 2.5% more expensive.
This. I'm ready to get this and low ram would be the only deal breaker. We're still running an iPad 2 and the main reason it runs like crap now is lack of ram.
iPad air 2 had 2 gigs of ram so it seems likely this would have the same, anyone have any more specific info about that?
Much cheaper too! I ditched my Mac stuff awhile ago and I am running Windows 10, as much as some of the issues bug me the much cheaper price makes up for it.
Inclined to agree.
iPad, iPad Pro.
MacBook, MacBook Pro.
Doesn't get any more streamlined than that.
A good move.
They realised £549 was over priced for just having support for a pencil. £339 much cheaper than I thought.
No doubt 9.7" pro sales were flat.

As I said in another thread covering the new iPads predicted, they dumbed down the 9.7 iPad pro and there will no longer be a 9.7 pro. The new pro's will be the 10.5 (or whatever) and the 12.9 and we will probably see these in the next month or so.
Tim is definitely going about this all wrong though, and what ever happened to this "amazing product line set to release this year" that he started talking about at the start of 2016?
Finally, yes the computer side of this computer company needs some love...badly.

Surely they'd get many more people buying it too. I would never consider it at $100 but would at $50.
The best feature in it! The reason I don't even look at the competition. Same goes with the 16:10 laptops.. the day Apple switches to 16:9, it is bye bye!
Ummm yeah, and a whole lot cheaper. What's not to like as long as everything else above this base product line is given a full overhaul?
No mini in the future... Just a smaller size iPad. They dropped smaller storage and did not give it the A9. Seems like they want it to drop off the family tree.
Customers are happy also.
Customer sat is certainly off the charts.
Once new customers get their hands on these lower cost iPads, they'll be iPad users for life. Today's announcements are very exciting for the iPad ecosystem and will drive wider adoption and almost certainly return the product category to solid growth.
Apple done this before, release the minor updates like this and a few weeks later the new products. It's a sign that the lineup was to big for one announcement. This is good news, cheaper iPad is good, and more products to come.
