Apple quietly updated its entry-level 9.7″ iPad this morning. The new iPad—called, simply, iPad—replaces the Air 2 at the base of the full-size iPad lineup. The new slate offers the same A9 SoC found in the iPhone 6S, a 2048×1536 Retina display, a claimed 10 hours of battery life, and 32GB of storage for $329. That’s a significant slice off the Air 2’s $399 base price. 128GB models start at $429.
The new iPad also offers an 8MP rear camera with an f/2.4 lens, capable of 1920×1080 video recording at 30 FPS or 120-FPS slow-motion.
