But then i noticed it s a downgrade from my ipad air 2 in two regards because the new baseline ipad doesn t have a laminated display my old ipad air 2 has one.
Ipad air 2 laminated display.
The pixels count remains unchanged at 2048x1536 and apple continues to use a 9 7 inch ips lcd panel but the big change is that it now uses a laminated optically bonded display.
For an ipad pro 12 9 screen the cost of just the part is about 120.
In both cases apple.
Also the touch id is first generation while my current ipad has a second generation.
If you ever see a regular ipad besides a pro ipad you will instantly see why you should go for the pro.
Compare both of these to an ipad air.
The screen and the features it provides is the reason to buy the pro version.
For example at the beginning of 2017 an ipad air 2 screen assembly laminated cost about 75.
2048 by 1536 pixel resolution at 264 ppi.
But there is no reason to use anything laminated on the pro screen.
It has the same 10 2 inch screen as its predecessor with 2 160 by 1 620 resolution for the same pixel density as the ipad air though it lacks the wide color and true tone aspects.
Apple is using a bigger 10 9 inch liquid retina display 2360 x 1640 on this new ipad air that s fully laminated with true tone support and anti reflective coating.
I use both ipad pro 9 7 and 12 9.
Ipad air 2 is 6 1 mm thin there was no new larger ipad pro but apple unveiled a new ipad air 2 and continues to focus on picture quality and display technology.
While the ipad air has a 30 2 watt hour battery.
