hey so you want a new iPad that's great let me ask you something though do you want to think about the future of computing and can the iPad replace a tablet and like what does the stylus do a blah blah blah blah blah blah no you want an iPad to do iPad things like watching Netflix or playing games and good news Apple made it it's called the iPad and it starts at just $329 okay I know you want to know more so I will give you some more information here this iPad replaces the iPad air 2 but it looks and feels a little bit more like the original iPad air 1 so what does that mean well first of all it's just a little bit thicker than the iPad air 2 and it also has a screen from the iPad air 1 what does that mean well first of all the LCD isn't laminated to the glass so it feels like it's set back a little bit from the front of the device which whatever not that big a deal to me the bigger deal with it is that it's a little bit more reflective than the iPad air 2 but you know what honestly forget all that what matters is that this it's an iPad and so the screen looks great it's a Retina display and it's also very fast it has a new a9 processor in it and so while it's not as fast or as beautiful or as high-end as an iPad pro it's still very very good at doing iPad things because again it's an iPad now this is the part of the review where I tell you about all the amazing new features and Apple's new iPad but I actually don't have to do that because this iPad is just an iPad it doesn't have the smart connector that you would get on the iPad pro for attaching keyboards it doesn't support the Apple pencil the cameras are you know if they're fine they're iPad cameras and that's not a knock on this thing at all because again this starts at $329 and if all you want to do are the traditional iPad things this iPad is great for that and so honestly the big question with this iPad is should you upgrade and if you look at what's happening in the tech press or investors everybody's super worried that not everybody's upgrading their iPads enough for Apple that's apples problem that's not your problem your problem is does the iPad that you have now work good enough and if not should you get this one let me break it down if you have an iPad that's older than an iPad air this iPad is going to be pretty amazing you're really going to love it and again it's cheap but if you have an iPad air or an iPad air to this thing isn't going to be at much of an upgrade over your existing iPad so you're probably fine to just stick with it now there's two other weird things you might consider if you really really care about a beautiful perfect screen you could consider getting a refurbished iPad air 2 but honestly if you care that much you should probably just spend the extra money and get an iPad pro it is a lot more but the screen is way better and it is a little bit faster than this iPad I would say an iPad a lot and that's because this thing is called an iPad but also because everybody knows what an iPad is everybody knows what they like to use an iPad for and apples not trying to reinvent anything with this iPad it's just letting you do those things for a relatively inexpensive price you can't sit on the couch you can watch your Netflix you can play some games you can browse the web and this does all that stuff incredibly well it's an iPad it's an iPad it's an iPad it's an iPad Apple named this device iPad the iPad and iPad this iPad it's an iPad it's an iPad it's an iPad and if you need an iPad get an iPad I mean if I have any books that's kind of its just an iPad
