Mashable Choice highlights the best of everything we cover, have experienced first-hand and would recommend to others. Apple announced a new iPad a few weeks ago. Did you even notice? I wouldn't blame you if you missed it. There wasn't any big event, or a keynote, and people definitely weren't waiting in line for it. Apple's new 9.7-inch iPad (it's just called iPad) doesn't come with any major redesign and it's not as powerful as the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
