The Cupertino company thereby deviated from its philosophy, in which it tries to produce thinner and smaller products. But on the other hand, it has recently introduced a lot of stronger products than their predecessors. For example Apple Watch Series 2 are more powerful due to GPS integration and iPhone Both 6s and 7 are thicker than iPhone 6.

This is the exact dimension of the 1st generation iPad AirWe have at home iPad Air a iPad Air 2 and I can say that the difference in thickness and weight is quite noticeable!
For the money it's a bargain. iPad Air with A9 and base 32GB. That for less than 11k kc. Stone.
Changing the dimension makes no sense. The battery is the same, the display even without an anti-reflective layer. And the A9 probably won't be for that reason either?
The flashlight is not the same. Ipad Air 2 has 27 Wh and the new iPad has 34 Wh. That's why the New iPad is thicker. Apple konehe understood that thinner does not mean better.
At least that's how it is.
That's probably why he doesn't have Air in the title :D
Apple he probably said to himself: "You will have it cheaper, but you will have to put up with increased dimensions and weight." I hope you don't think that we will give you a better SoC there, lower the price and not ask for anything??? So we will!'
Embarrassing
+1
The right way before the introduction of the new iPads. They made it cheaper and added a battery which they didn't even have to. Such an iPad SE.
–> I also think that the iPad didn't need a bigger battery, it's more needed for iphoneI appreciate the thinness and, above all, the lightness of the iPad, iphone I especially appreciate the battery life (or at least that's what I think).
–> + now they've made a real mess of it… So which is the latest iPad, ipad air, ipad 2,3,8, ipad pro?,….. did they update them all the same?…. Oh my god,…. they've already managed to mess up even the simple chronology of product naming.
CookUh, really get out of here. appyou.
I would like to ask someone else here……
OH MY GOD, WHY –> Apple Pencil does not support iPads other than ipad pro? :D
That's what I call proper "artificial" favoring of the ipad pro!
(To at least sell out the stock Applu, if for some reason no one wants it :D).
