<article> <section class="page"> <p>Apple’s new iPad is actually kind of a throwback.</p><p>According to iFixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad+5+Teardown/85098), the 9.7-inch iPad that Apple unveiled last week is essentially a spruced-up version of the original iPad Air released in 2013. They share the same battery and the same display. There are some minor tweaks, too, including the integration of the third-generation A9 chip and Touch ID capabilities.</p><p>Their teardown confirmed our initial suspicions (http://www.macworld.com/article/3183131/ios/apples-new-ipad-lineup-slashes-prices-the-ipad-air-and-ipad-mini-storage-options.html) that, specs-wise, this new model is a minor upgrade. The biggest draw of the new iPad is the price. The 32GB model is $329, compared to the previous entry-level iPad Air 2 that went for $399.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3186652/ipad/new-97-inch-ipad-teardown-reveals-its-basically-an-original-ipad-air-with-minor-tweaks.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: New 9.7-inch iPad teardown reveals it's basically an original iPad Air with minor tweaks (http://www.macworld.com/article/3186652/ipad/new-97-inch-ipad-teardown-reveals-its-basically-an-original-ipad-air-with-minor-tweaks.html#tk.rss_all) |
