Is it worth buying the new iPad Low-Cost?

In this article we analyze in depth the novelties of the new low-cost 9.7-inch iPad that Apple has presented this 2017. Is it worth your purchase?

First of all, we must bear in mind that the iPad of 2017 is a special version dedicated solely to replace the iPad Air 2 . So we can not compare the tablet to the latest iPad Pro models.

Secondly, it is noteworthy to note that the new iPad is a low-cost tablet . That is, it will not offer an innovative technology, but a good value for money. With a base price of 399 €, obviously it is not the cheapest tablets on the market, but the company's apple bite.

It's a thicker and heavier iPad

The new low-cost 9.7-inch iPad is slightly thicker and heavier than the iPad Air 2. At the moment we do not know why this change in the design of the tablet, because the only updates that Apple have submitted Are a brighter 2,048 x 1,536 pixel Retina display and an A9 processor .

But undoubtedly , the change in the thickness of the new iPad and its weight are two reasons to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to buy the tablet.

Currently the most affordable iPad on the market

If you have a iPad Pro of 12.9 inches or a iPad Pro of 9.7 inches, we do not recommend buying the iPad of 2017 as it would take a step back. However, if you have an iPad Air, iPad Air 2, or earlier versions, and you can not afford to spend a lot of money, this iPad is your ideal choice.

It is available in two versions with different storage capacities: a 32 GB model for 399 € (Wi-Fi) and a model of 128 GB for 499 € . It is the cheapest iPad in history.

To finish with the analysis, if you keep thinking about buying the new iPad, you must take into account other factors. For example, your cameras. It has a 1.2MP FaceTime camera and an 8MP iSight camera . The tablet also offers Touch ID with Apple Pay features.

In short, if you want an affordable iPad and you do not mind that it is not the most powerful on the market, this is your choice. On the other hand, if you have a higher economic margin, you may consider waiting for the launch of the new generation models that Apple will present this year.
