Wired reviews the new Apple iPad

Solid review. At its core:

Apple’s big iPad problem is that it can’t convince people to upgrade, because an iPad is just a screen you hold in your hands that runs some apps that do some stuff. For users, that’s wonderful. If you already have an iPad you like, you don’t need a new one.

And:

If you are ready to upgrade, though, consider this the tablet for you. It brings the guts of an iPad Air 2—the most popular iPad model—into the body of a first-gen iPad Air. Will you notice the extra thickness and weight? No. (It weighs a pound, barely more than the Air 2. You’ll be fine.) What you might notice is the difference in the screen. This one’s not laminated to the glass the way it is on other new iPad models, which means you’ll see a little more of your own reflection in the display. It’s still high-res, still crisp, and still plenty good.

The Apple 9.7 inch iPad is $329. To me, if you are in the market for a starter iPad, this is a no-brainer.

  1. FWIW, we vacillated on whether our first iPad would need cellular capability, then decided to opt for it. I’m glad we did.

    For our second iPad, I’m expecting we’ll go with a Pro, but I want to see that difference in the screen’s reflectivity.

  2. There are app (games mainly) that can’t run well on older iPads, but game devs aren’t able to restrict models of iPads. IIRC, they can only restrict versions of iOS.

  3. I’m sittting here with my over three year old iPad Mini with a deep desire to upgrade, but it’s not going to happen when there’s nothing to upgrade to.
