Compare both of these to an ipad air.
Ipad air 2 laminated display.
Previously ipad 2 ipad mini 3 and ipad air.
While the ipad air has a 30 2 watt hour battery.
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.
If you ever see a regular ipad besides a pro ipad you will instantly see why you should go for the pro.
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.
But there is no reason to use anything laminated on the pro screen.
I use both ipad pro 9 7 and 12 9.
The screen and the features it provides is the reason to buy the pro version.
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.
By the end of 2017 the screens were hard to find and cost about 200 if you did find them.
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.
In both cases apple.
