The price of the new device is $70 lesser than the iPad Air 2 making it an attractive deal. But, what about the other specifications of the tablet? The initial reports confirm that the device is looking quite similar to the 2014 iPad Air 2. However, the device has lost its anti-reflective coating while getting the transformation. Also, the display does not have a cover glass that is laminated. The new tablet has an impressive A9 chip, but it is at least 20 percent thicker than the iPad Air 2.

Additionally, the device has got a fingerprint sensor like all the latest devices. The retina display of the device brighter than previous iPads, and it comes in three different colors namely gold, gold and space gray.

Still, many industry analysts predict that many people may think to continue with their old iPad Air2.

It is found that people are not interested in upgrading to the new devices frequently like smartphones. In the last quarter of 2016, Apple reported its tablet sales dropped consecutively for the 12th quarter, and this shows the market trend. Apple also introduced a red color iPhone 7 and a 128 GB version of iPhone SE in the event.
