So, what makes the 9.7-inch iPad interesting? The answer lies in the mashed up specs of the device which includes A9 chip from the iPhone 6s, impressive camera from iPad Air 2 and size and weight similar to iPad Air except for the physical lock switch of the latter.

To be more specific, the 9.7-inch iPad sports a glass and aluminum exterior available in the following colors: gold, silver and space grey. The device has an outstanding LCD display with 2048 x 1536 pixels resolution, thus, the very crisp-looking test.
