When Apple released a new iPad on Tuesday, the company also simplified the iPad lineup: instead of four iPad models, there are now three. This makes it easier to decide which iPad to buy, though there are still a lot of factors to consider. Let’s take a look at the major features you should think about when picking an iPad.
Size
If you want to carry your iPad around with you, then size is an important consideration. Here’s a breakdown of each iPad.
IDG| 12.9” iPad Pro | 9.7” iPad Pro | iPad | iPad mini 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screen size | 12.9” | 9.7” | 9.7” | 7.9” |
| Height | 12” | 9.4” | 9.4” | 8” |
| Width | 8.7” | 6.6” | 6.6” | 5.3” |
| Depth | 0.27” | 0.24” | 0.29” | 0.24” |
| Weight (Wi-Fi) | 1.57 lbs. | 0.96 lbs. | 1.03 lbs. | 0.65 lbs. |
| Weight (Wi-Fi & Cellular) |
1.59 lbs. | 0.98 lbs. | 1.05 lbs. | 0.67 lbs. |
Screen
Just looking at the iPads, it’s difficult to discern any difference in the screens besides their sizes. All of the iPads use LED-backlit displays with Multi-Touch support and fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. But there are a few features that are found in some models and not in others that may not be obvious.
