Why is a 2017 32gb ipad cheaper than an older 16gb ipad air?

The reviews say the 2017 is quicker. What gives?

This is on the official Apple site.

iPad air has a more expensive screen.

I'm looking at a new 128Gb iPad for work; the pro doesn't offer me much more than a nicer screen and is a hell of a lot more £££

It's going to be compared to an ipad 2 so I guess the screen will be betterr which ever one we go for.

The extra storage will be a winner.

The new iPad came out yesterday. Same as the old (2017) one but with a quicker processor and pencil compatibility. The price jump to the pro isn't justified in my case.

I looked at refurbished 64 Gb iPad Air2 but I can get a new iPad 128Gb for less in the states and the new A10 chip might ensure some longevity. My old iPad Mini is unusable now.... thanks Apple!!

Got a work ipad2 and that's painfully slow web browsing, and I've run the various clean out recommendations.

The screen on the iPad 2 is awful (had one with work briefly but swapped it for an Air) so you'll notice a massive difference. 3rd Gen onwards are great (screen wise)

I've also got an old 3rd Gen iPad and I prefer the screen to my brand new Lenovo Tab 4 + (full HD). The 3rd gen iPad itself is almost unusable though and I prefer Android, hence the swap.
