(The iPad Guide)

Apple today quietly announced a new $329 iPad to replace the aging iPad Air 2. Simply called `iPad,` the new 9.7-inch tablet is a slightly heavier and bulkier model with recycled hardware. It ships with the same same A9 chip that powers Apple's current iPhone models, and it does not include new features, such as the Smart Connector. The new iPad is around 20% thicker (7.5mm) than the iPad Air 2 and it weighs 1 pound. The iPad Air 2 is a slimmer 6.1mm model that weighs 0.96 pounds. Tags: News
