Is it an upgrade? Yes
Is it worth the upgrade?
You only need to upgrade if your current iPad is not performing well enough ������ I know it looks shiny, but more shiny stuff will come haha.
Improvements:
+ 12mp Camera vs 5mp
+ 4K video recording vs 1080p
+ A9x vs A7 processor.
+ Double the RAM
+ Bluetooth 4.2 vs 4.0
If you were getting the 10.5" iPad Pro then I would say that's a pretty big upgrade and we'll worth it.
but I think you're thinking of the 9.7 Pro not the 2017 iPad 9.7.
You are correct. My apologies, i miss read which forum this was posted in
The iPad (2017) only has what you specified.
Spec-wise its definitely an upgrade. It's faster, has a better display (colour gamut), better camera, and will see more future OS updates that the mini 2. All that aside, surprisingly the thing I've appreciated the most coming from the mini 2 was the addition of Touch ID.
The iPad Mini 2 has an arguably better screen. Same Display Resolution: 2048-by-1536-pixel, but the iPad Mini 2 has a Pixel Density: 326 ppi vs. iPad 5G Pixel Density: 264 ppi. But you are correct that color gamut is not the best with the Mini 2. Still not too bad.
