Hands on: New iPad review

Innovating in the world of tablets is a difficult task right now, even for Apple. The iPad Pro brought about a new way of working and a variety of accessories to complement your 12.9-inch or smaller slate, but what if you don’t want those features?

This new iPad is the device designed for you, with a premium spec, a great looking design and top of the range features, but at a lower price and without all the productivity extras.

It’s much like the five star iPad Air 2 – the device it replaces in Apple’s lineup – but there are a few key upgrades that make this an all round better tablet.
