A tablet is a device that enhances the portability feature and also the efficiency of the smartphone. The Mac Tablet, also known as the Apple iPad, is one of the frontrunners in this category of devices. After multiple iterations on the initial iPad, Apple has released the latest model, which is the Apple iPad 9.7-inch. The latest model is thicker and weighs more than its predecessor, the iPad Air 2.

Pros and cons of the iPad 9.7

The screen size hasn’t changed and remains 9.7 inches with a  2048×1536 display resolution. The screen is also brighter and a washed-out version than of its previous model as Apple has done away with the lamination layer, which is supposed to enhance the reflectiveness of the screen.
