Critics' Consensus

“Critics praise the iPad 9.7’s solid upgrade over its predecessor, yet they fault its unlaminated screen for feeling cheap and detracting from the overall experience.”

“The 2017 iPad may not be the most innovative product Apple has ever created, but it's an upgrade on the iPad Air 2 and this version makes for a fantastic option at an even lower price than iPads of years past.”

Perfect 5/5

“However you put it, this is an unexpectedly cheap offering, but one that is also generally low-specced and has a design that’s mostly lifted from a product that’s two and a half years old, and in some cases from one that’s three and a half years old.”

Mixed 3/5
