iPad 5th Generation - Full tablet information

Developed and marketed by Apple Inc., the 9.7-inch iPad 5th Generation Wi-Fi only (2017) and the 9.7-inch iPad Wi-Fi+Cellular (2017) are the models that replace the iPad Air 2 as the budget tablet computer. Being a carbon copy of the iPad Air in the design, height, and screen size, it is also cheaper, and heavier than its predecessor, the iPad Air 2 but a way more powerful. Both the 9.7-inch iPad 5th generation (2017) models feature the brand new chip Apple A9X together with the motion co-processor Apple M9, two storage options – 32GB and 128GB – and the 2GB of RAM and the Retina 2k display.

Features

These iPad 5th generation (2017) models have the same chassis design as the old 9.7-inch iPad Pro, with the same edges curving gently to the back of the device. This chamfered edge has a slightly brushed matt finish, as opposed to the mirror shine on previous iPads of this design, but it’s otherwise essentially the same.
These models come with two speakers, like the Air 1 and 2 (not the four speakers users get on the iPad Pro 9.7-inch). The bottom speaker grills are the same as on the Air 2, as they are arranged in two single rows (unlike the double rows of the Air 1). Besides they are not as far apart as on the iPad Pro.
