Apple shifted the iPad range around in March 2017, replacing the iPad Air 2 with a 9.7-inch model simply called ‘iPad’. The entire Air range has been phased out, but the iPad mini 4 is still available.

The 9.7-inch iPad features an A9 CPU and M9 motion coprocesso­r, and comes in 32GB and 128GB storage flavours. The Retina display has been made brighter compared to the Air 2, but the new iPad is slightly thicker and heavier. It’s also got an 8MP rear camera and a 1.2MP front-facing camera.

On the software side, the iPad adds multitaski­ng features, which are a boon for productivi­ty. You can slide a second app over the right side of the one you’re working in, then dismiss it to get back to work. Picture in Picture enables you to watch video in a corner of the screen. There’s also Split View, which lets you work on two apps side by side.
