For anyone using iPad 3 to iPad Air, it'll be slightly better - and considerably lighter for all but the Air. (And if you have, you're probably not buying an iPad 5 to replace it.)Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚РЋor anyone on an iPad 2, the screen will be a terrific, Retina-level upgrade. Unless you've been using a 9.7-inch iPad Pro, though, you probably won't notice. So, no deep reds, vibrant greens, or white that looks less blue or yellow and more like paper. It's sRGB, same as all the other iPads up to and including the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which means no DCI-P3 wide color gamut or True Tone ambient light matching like the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. But that would be for the next-generation, not for iPad 5. Rumor has it Apple is working on a new, more edge-to-edge design language for iPad. It's part of the same design language that dates all the way back to the 2012 iPad mini.

There's also no camera bump like on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro because iPad 5 doesn't have the newer, larger camera system but rather the older, smaller 12.9-inch iPad Pro system. There's also no mute/rotation lock switch, which Apple offered on iPad Air but eliminated on iPad Air 2 and subsequent iPads. That leaves just the dual, stereo speaker grills on the bottom, like iPad Air and iPad Air 2. There are no speaker grills on the top of iPad 5 because it lacks the four-speaker system of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Maybe some colors simply don't sell as well, or Apple wants to keep some colors exclusive for premium products. In 2016, I had rose gold for just about everything. The lack of rose gold is irksome for those of us who like to match all our gear.

(And there's no (matte black), jet black, or (Product) RED either, all of which remain exclusive to iPhone 7.) There's no rose gold, which remains exclusive to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.

It's almost like an iPad Air 1.5 but with the missing or minimized plastic RF windows of the Pro.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬olor options include silver, space gray, and gold. Outwardly, it looks like something of a cross between the original iPad Air and iPad Air 2, with a little 9.7-inch iPad Pro thrown in. IPad 5 is built off the iPad Air platform. It's an updated version of the screen from iPad Air 1, camera system from iPad Air 2, and chipset from iPhone 6s (the non-X version of the chipset in iPad Pro). What you are getting is an amalgam of several previous generation iPads with a jolt of new internals. You're not even getting last year's iPad Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ there wasn't one, aside from the Pro. You're not getting a next generation iPad for that price, of course. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro raised the cost of entry to $599. Newer versions of the 9.7-inch iPad, from iPad 2 to iPad Air 2, all kept the same price point, even as older versions hang around at $399. During the iPad introduction event, Steve Jobs revealed the actual price to an 'unbelievable' $499.

For anyone who wants a new, full-sized iPad and doesn't want to pay a lot for it, though, is iPad 5 now the best option?Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В«efore the original iPad launched there was a rumor that it would cost $1000. That's the question that needs answering, especially for people who still haven't gotten into computing or online, or have held onto previous generation iPads long enough that they're starting to need a replacement.Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚РЋor anyone who wants to ditch or diminish their PC, iPad Pro is there - at a price.

Would I buy the iPad (5th Generation) - henceforth iPad 5 for efficiency - or recommend it to anyone like me? Not unless there was an urgent need for an extra, cheap tablet to keep in a camper or for car trips.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В«ut would I recommend it for parents, grandparents, kids, or non-tech nerds who just want an inexpensive internet or app device with a big enough screen, easy enough interface, to buy for the first time or upgrade after a long time?

Perspective taking is always hard and it's taken me a while to wrap my head around this new normal, but it's become increasingly important to review products in the context for which they're offered. Nor does every product Apple makes in its increasing mainstream lineup have to be for me. If Apple had introduced a new iPad Pro in March, I'd have snapped it up in a heartbeat and then immediately started dreaming about what might come next.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В«ut this isn't about me.
