| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | No |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Fingerprint, accelerometer, gyro, compass, barometer |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes, with stereo speakers |
| Audio Technology | AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 8827 mAh |
| Battery Life | 10 hours |
| Charging | Non-removable battery, charging via power adapter or USB |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 8 MP |
| Front Camera | 1.2 MP |
| Video | 1080p, 720p |
| Camera Features | HDR, AF, panorama, face detection |
| Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration) | No |
Connectivity
| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | 4.2 |
| Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world. | 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band |
| USB | Lightning, USB 2.0 |
| GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky. | No (Wi‐Fi + Cellular model only) |
| NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches. | |
| Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device. | No |

I was surprised by how fast and responsive it felt for basic tasks like launching apps and animations. Overall, while it lacks some bells and whistles of the Pro like a laminated display and 4 speakers, Everything Apple Pro felt it does everything you need in a basic iPad for media consumption and light usage at a great price point. - EverythingApplePro E A P |

I found the A9 chip provides plenty of power for most tasks, even editing and exporting 4K video in iMovie at speeds. The overall performance felt smooth and responsive. - 9to5Mac |

I was impressed by the updated internals like the A9 chip, which provide plenty of power for most tasks and score only about 10% slower than the iPad Pro in benchmarks. This makes the new iPad very capable for gaming, multitasking, and even 4K video editing. - TechDaily |

Pros: - Good performance for the price - Smooth and responsive for basic tasks like app launching and animations - Capable of 4K video editing and exporting Cons: - Lacks laminated display - Lacks some "pro" features like 4 speakers and anti-reflective coating |
Apple recently released an updated 9.7-inch iPad model for 2017. This new budget-friendly iPad delivers strong performance and features at an appealing price point.
While it lacks some of the premium capabilities of the iPad Pro line, the new iPad handles everyday tasks smoothly and responsively.
Independent reviewers found the A9 chip provides plenty of processing power, scoring only around 15-20% slower than the iPad Pro CPU.
The GPU trails the Pro by about 30% in graphics performance.
Still, the 2017 iPad runs iOS 10 fluidly and proves speedy at launching apps, web browsing, light multitasking, and basic animation.
It can even edit and export 4K video thanks to the capable A9 chip.
The affordable model also touts excellent battery life to keep you powered up on the go.
And it conveniently retains Touch ID for quick unlocking and Apple Pay purchases.
The 7.5mm thin iPad is easy to grab and fits nicely in bags. It feels light at just over 1 pound in weight.
On the downside, cost-cutting is evident in a few areas. The display lacks lamination, so a visible gap exists between the cover glass and LCD.
This diminishes the premium look and feel when touching the screen. Viewing angles also suffer a bit, causing occasional washout in bright ambient light.
Furthermore, the tablet makes do with a dated first-generation Touch ID sensor and skips the four-speaker audio of pricier iPads.
What's impressive is how few concessions Apple made with their affordable 2017 tablet revamp. Performance, battery life, camera quality, and ecosystem integration remain solid.
There’s simply no better tablet value today for basic gaming, web surfing, video/music playback, e-reading, and communication needs.
So if you're seeking an iPad on a budget, don't require cutting-edge features, and value responsiveness over raw horsepower, Apple's newest 9.7-inch model is a compelling choice.
It retains enough speed and functionality to satisfy most mainstream users.
Power users seeking maximum multitasking muscle and a premium feel will still prefer the iPad Pro.
But everyday tablet shoppers get a strong blend of value and capability with Apple's reasonably-priced iPad 2017 release.
