iPad (2017) The iPad (officially fifth-generation iPad) is a 9.7-inch tablet computer designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. After its announcement on March 21, 2017, conflicting naming conventions spawned a number of different names, including seventh-generation iPad or iPad 2017. It retains the screen size of the iPad Air line of tablets, and is more powerful than iPad Air 2, even as its overall dimensions and weight is more similar to the original iPad Air.
iPad (3rd generation) The tablet was released in ten countries on March 16, 2012.[11] It gained mostly positive reviews, earning praise for its Retina display, processor and 4G (LTE) capabilities.[12][13][14][15][16] However, controversy arose when the LTE incompatibilities became known.[17] Three million units were sold in the first three days.[1][18]
