While iPhones are getting bigger in size as the years gone by, Apple also might size up their iPad Mini lineup. In regards to this, the tech giant has rolled out a 9.7-inch iPad or iPad 2017.
Till now, talks about the iPad Mini 5 have been purely anticipation. Seeing the power packed into the new iPad 2017, the iPad Mini Pro could potentially carry on the specifications to the next level. iPad Mini 5 is rumored to be carrying an A10x chip, 3 GB RAM and even an M8 co-processor. You can imagine how Apple engineers would able to squeeze all that power in a smaller molded tablet.
iPad Mini have become more out of date as the years go by not to mention the iPad Mini 4 that is considered as average by some Apple fans. For this reason, Apple has decided to release the 9.7-inch iPad to replace the iPad Mini as well as the iPad Air based on presumptions.
The iPad 2017 has been welcomed by the Apple patrons and fortunately, it is presumed to be more saleable that the regular iPad. According to MacWorld, the review claimed that if the iPad 2017 was manufactured before the iPad Pro 2, there would be no need for the latter to be bought.
The 9.7-inch iPad boast a glass and aluminum exterior available in the gold, silver, and space gray colors. The latest tablet has an outstanding LCD display with 2048 x 1536 pixels resolution, thus, the very crisp-looking test.
Under the hood latest 9.7-inch iPad have a 1.84 GHz dual-core Apple A9 64-bit processor, 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage for the base model. The latest tablet runs the latest software iOS 10.3.1 and supports Bluetooth 4.2 and Dual band Wi-Fi, as reported by Notebook Review.
Overall, the iPad 2017 is considered to be the mix of specs and features which are coming from various iPad products, as mentioned by Engadget. Meanwhile, fans are waiting for the release of 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 which is presumed to launch during Apple's spring event on May.
It may not be as powerful as most had dreamed for the iPad Mini 5 but could be the benchmark. If not, the 10.5-inch variant will be the next candidate. Either way, it is best to stick to the facts. Only two more iPads are releasing so the iPad Mini 5 could be actually the reincarnation on one of them.
