Summary:
- The new 9.7-inch iPad 2018 is not only intended for the education market. It can also appeal to home and business/enterprise users.
- Apple equipping the $299/$329 iPad with A10 Fusion CPU/GPU also makes it the best gaming tablet.
- The 6-core PowerVR GPU of the quad-core A10 Fusion SoC is almost as good as the A11 Bionic’s Apple-made GPU.
- Apple is taking a risk. The $299/$329 9.7-inch iPad might cannibalize future sales of premium $649++ iPad Pro models.
- On the other hand, Apple could likely increase the total addressable market of its tablets by catering to price-conscious customers.
