Can someone explain what the “completely redesigned” references? It doesn’t look different than any ipads before to me.
- awestroke 4y agoThey designed it from scratch: rounded corners, black bezels, glossy screen, side buttons. It's pure coincidence that it looks exactly like the previous design
- dont__panic 4y agoThe old 9th gen iPad still had a home button, fun colors, and a totally square screen. This update removes the home button, brings rounded display corners and colors and a new processor. And brings the non-Mini, non-Pro iPad into the same design language as the iPhone and the Mini/Pro iPads. There might still be a fingerprint sensor in the lock button, though.
- ihuman 4y agoYes, they moved the fingerprint sensor to the lock bottom on top
- ASalazarMX 4y agoThese small changes are "big news" because the iPad is not (yet) a fashion statement, unlike the iPhone, who suffers enough small changes each iteration so your peers can guess what model you have and how cool you are. I don't know if it's common, but I associate iPads with small kids, and maybe Apple wants to change that perception.
- saagarjha 4y agoThe 9th generation iPad comes in two colors, Silver and Space Gray.
- dont__panic 4y agooof, sorry -- I meant to say "not fun colors" and somehow chopped off the "not".
