Surprises from Apple which, in addition to announcing a new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in red, also announced a new iPad that will replace the current iRad Air 2. The iRad introduced by Apple today looks very much like iRad Air 2, but it has some differences.
Apple's new iPad comes with an A9 chip and a brighter Retina display. Apple simply named the new tablet "iPad", after the company has decided to discontinue the Air 2. The device is a tablet with a 9,7-inch screen and prices start at $329 for the 32GB variant and go up to $429 for the 128GB storage model.
The tablet does not have a fully laminated screen and some anti-reflective coating, but has a resolution of 264ppi at 2048 × 1536. It comes with an 8MP iSight rear camera and a 1.2MP front camera with FaceTime features.
The new 9.7-inch iPad has two speakers, a Lightning connector and a headphones 3,5 millimeters. It also has Touch ID with support for Apple Pay, Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac.
“Οι νέοι πελάτες και όποιοι θέλουν να αναβαθμίσουν θα αγαπήσουν αυτό το νέο iΡad στη χρήση στο σπίτι, στο σχολείο, καθώς και για την εργασία, με την πανέμορφη οθόνη του Retina, το ισχυρό chip Α9, καθώς και την πρόσβαση στις περισσότερες από 1,3 εκατομμύρια εφαρμογές που έχουν σχεδιαστεί ειδικά για αυτό,” ανέφερε ο Philip Schiller, αντιπρόεδρος του Apple Worldwide Marketing.
The orders for the new device start this Friday via Apple.com and Apple Stores.
