When does a thinner iPad matter?
When holding an iPad up as a book a lighter iPad matters, and it is 15% lighter.
When you pack it away the iPad gets thicker anyway because you stick a case around it.
- GHFigs 16y agoI'm going to take a wild guess and say Apple's Smart Cover is 33% as thick as the previous iPad.
- whatusername 16y ago33% thinner is an engineering achievement.
- jsz0 16y agoBeing thinner should allow for a better grip -- especially for little hands. My totally unscientific reasoning is the more efficiently you can transfer the weight into your fingers (being spread wider) the more comfortable it will be to hold the weight. This can also help with wrist fatigue if it allows you to find a more comfortable resting position. Lastly the sharper angle on the back should make it easier to lift when sitting flat on a surface. Perhaps all small things but for hours of usage it can add up.
