How the ‘new’ iPad compares to the rest of Apple’s tablets

The iPad line has diversified a bit the past few years, with Apple introducing two sizes of its “Pro” model in addition to a more basic 9.7-inch device. But, while last year’s tablet offered some decent specs at a friendly $ 329 price point, it lacked of of Apple’s more modern flourishes. Apple’s “new” 9.7-inch iPad rectifies some of that by upgrading to an A10 processor and (most importantly) adding Pencil support. The hope here is it can go toe-to-toe with affordable Chromebooks that have taken over classrooms. It helps that schools can buy an iPad for $ 299, but the price hasn’t budged for consumers — you’ll still need to cough up $ 329. So, how does it compare to its iPad siblings? Check out the table below to see all the most important specs.
