Can someone explain what the “completely redesigned” references? It doesn’t look different than any ipads before to me.
There might still be a fingerprint sensor in the lock button, though.
What on earth is a ‘liquid retina’ display?
As far as I can tell this is the exact same design the iPad Air has had for a couple years now, but "iPad" (no descriptor) is a separate product, which until now still used the old-school form factor with the physical home button, etc. So this design isn't new at all for "iPad the line of devices", but it is new for "iPad the budget-tier iPad"
...but even with that information- is this model still worse than the Air somehow even though its design has been updated? In what ways? Is it just slightly less powerful or something? Or did their positions flip? Why didn't they just drop this model, making the Air/Pro duality consistent with the MacBooks? Are they going to drop the Air instead? And most importantly for folks who haven't/can't research the technical details: "the iPad and iPad Air look identical [and have names that don't tell me how they're different]; which one should I buy??"
USB-C?? Is hell freezing over or good regulations making their magic?

Nice! Please, the iPhone next. Ditch the legacy and outdated lightning jack.

The 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.
Looks like price increased to $449 USD? Still a good value, but a noticeable increase.
