At a special education event on March 27th, Apple introduced a new 9.7-inch iPad that offers faster performance, support for the Apple Pencil, and a few new camera-related features. The company also released new versions of the iWork apps\u2014Pages, Numbers, and Keynote\u2014that let users draw, sketch, and write with the Apple Pencil. This is HUGE! Essentially, you can get a 32GB iPad with Apple Pencil and AppleCare+ for under $500.00 (do you remember the 16GB iPad 2 price??).<\/p>\n

Sixth-generation iPad<\/b><\/h3>\n

For the most part, the new sixth-generation iPad<\/a> is the same as the fifth-generation model it replaces. Its physical dimensions are unchanged, so existing cases and accessories should continue to work. It comes in the same three colors: silver, gold, and space gray. Even the pricing and options remain the same, with a 32 GB model starting at $329\u2014the jump to 128 GB adds $100, and cellular capabilities add $130.<\/p>\n

What sets the sixth-generation iPad apart from its predecessor is its support for the Apple Pencil<\/a> stylus, which was previously restricted to the iPad Pro line, which started at $649. Thanks to a high-resolution touch sensor in the iPad\u2019s Retina screen and palm-rejection technology, you can now use the $99 Apple Pencil in compatible apps. As with the iPad Pro, the Apple Pencil is sensitive to pressure and tilt so you can vary line weight and shading, much as with a traditional pencil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also new in the sixth-generation iPad is Apple\u2019s A10 Fusion chip, with its embedded M10 coprocessor. The company claims that the new processors provide up to 40-percent faster CPU and 50-percent faster graphics performance.<\/p>\n

The extra performance may also be related to the iPad\u2019s new camera capabilities. Unlike the previous iPad, the sixth-generation iPad can take Live Photos and supports body detection in images along with the previously supported face detection. Also new is support for the Retina Flash feature that turns the screen into a giant flash when taking selfies.<\/p>\n

iWork with Apple Pencil Support<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you haven\u2019t been using Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on the iPad, the latest updates may encourage you to try Apple\u2019s iWork<\/a> apps\u2014remember, they\u2019re available for free in the App Store. Notably, the three apps allow you to draw, sketch, and write directly within documents. Even more interesting, though, is Apple\u2019s Smart Annotations feature, currently in beta. With it, your comments and proofing marks anchor dynamically to text, and stay with the text they were attached to even as the document changes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Smart Annotations are particularly welcome for those who take advantage of the real-time collaboration features built into the iWork apps. This was an education event, and it\u2019s clear that Apple is building tools that will allow teachers to mark up and comment on student documents. But the same capabilities are equally as useful in the business world. For business users, Apple also announced that the real-time collaboration features in the iWork apps now work on documents stored in the Box file sharing service. Previously they were available only for documents stored in iCloud, which has little adoption in the enterprise.<\/p>\n

Finally, the iPad version of Pages gains features that help users create ebooks in EPUB format. And Apple added a new Presenter mode to Pages, which lets you turn your iPhone or iPad into a teleprompter for distraction-free reading.<\/p>\n

In the end, if you\u2019re interested in using the Apple Pencil, the combination of the sixth-generation iPad and the updated iWork apps will let you do more for over $300 less than before.<\/p>\n
