Wi-Fi + Cellular models with embedded eSIM technology include iPadPro 12.9-inch (3rdgeneration or later), iPadPro 11-inch (1stgeneration or later), iPadAir (3rdgeneration or later), iPad (7thgeneration or later) and iPadmini (5th and 6thgeneration). The iPad 9.7-inch [3] (officially iPad (5th generation) [4]) is a 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's not iPad Air 3. It's certainly not iPad Pro 2. Apple calls it iPad (5th Generation) but it's not a sequel to the 2012 iPad 4 either. Instead, the new 9.7-inch iPad is more an amalgam of everything that's come before. It's got the form-factor of the original Air but almost as much power as the Pro. It doesn't have Apple Pencil or Smart Connector, but it's got the lowest price tag of any full-sized iPad, ever. If you want a Pro, get a Pro. If you want an inexpensive tablet to access the web and the App Store, and a solid upgrade from iPad 2 all the way through iPad Air, get the new iPad (5th Generation). iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro have been able to do this since the feature became available but for anyone on an older iPad, it'll mean a huge boost in productivity or just plain convenience. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Cellular data charges may apply.

It's sRGB, same as all the other iPads up to and including the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which means no DCI-P3 wide color gamut or True Tone ambient light matching like the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. So, no deep reds, vibrant greens, or white that looks less blue or yellow and more like paper. Segan, Sascha (4 April 2017). "Apple iPad (2017)". PC Magazine. Ziff Davis.
