10.2-Inch iPad Teardown Confirms 3GB of RAM and Same-Size Battery
iFixit has completed its teardown of the new 10.2-inch iPad and uncovered the same 8,227 mAh/32.9 Wh battery as the sixth-generation 9.7-inch iPad, while RAM has been increased from 2GB to 3GB.
The 10.2-inch iPad is similar to the sixth-generation 9.7-inch iPad, with the same A10 Fusion chip and Apple Pencil support, but it has a larger display and a Smart Connector that enables support for Apple's full-sized Smart Keyboard. Pricing continues to start at $329 in the United States.
Given the minor refresh, the 10.2-inch iPad has few hardware changes over the 9.7-inch iPad beyond the larger display, addition of a Smart Connector, and an extra GB of RAM. Repairability remains low due to strong adhesives and a soldered Lightning connector, although display repairs remain feasible.

The “real” iPad lineup is the mini, the Air and the Pro. This model doesn’t need the latest stuff, just needs to be decent for the price and it is.
People aren’t so stupid that they can’t choose between three models. Price pretty much makes the decision for you, anyway. iPad if it’s for kids, education or if cost is the biggest concern. iPad Air I’d recommend for most, as long as you can spare an extra $200. If $799 is not a problem, buy the Pro.
