The new Apple iPad can now be pre-ordered on Flipkart

Apple’s new 9.7-inch iPad for 2017 was announced just last month in a very silent manner. The new tablet will soon be available to customers in India as it is now listed for pre-order on Flipkart.

Currently only the 32GB Wi-Fi model, which is priced at Rs 28,900, can be pre-ordered. There is also a 32GB Wi-Fi + cellular model priced at Rs 39,900 but it isn’t listed for pre-order as of yet.

The new iPad replaces the iPad Air 2. Apple has only renamed it, bumped up the SoC to the A9 chip found in the iPhone 6s lineup and has replaced the LCD which is now brighter. The new model is slightly thicker and fractionally heavier than the device it replaces.

Apart from the 32GB models, the new iPad was also announced on 128GB Wi-Fi as well as  Wi-Fi + cellular models.

“iPad is the world’s most popular tablet. Customers love the large, 9.7-inch display for everything from watching TV and movies, to surfing the Web, making FaceTime calls, and enjoying photos, and now it is even more affordable. New customers and anyone looking to upgrade will love this new iPad for use at home, in school, and for work, with its gorgeous Retina display, our powerful A9 chip, and access to the more than 1.3 million apps designed specifically for it,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing.
