..indeed tomsem, just Apple compare page got the new iPad 9.7" there, just compared with the one I was thinking iPad Pro 10.5" and for my use case of using iPad just for reading+browsing internet+youtube I think I will go for the new one:

differences

these ones I dont really care too much:
Fully laminated display
Antireflective coating
Wide color display (P3)
graphics card 2x
better camera
better sound(speaker)

hmm these ones would be cool but meh
ProMotion technology

this is the only feature one will miss with the new iPad 9.7" as screen colors/brightness etc.. auto adapt on ambient light
True Tone display


so...
iPad Pro 10.5" 64GB only wifi(no sim) costs $649
new iPad 9.7" announced today 32GB also only wifi(no sim) costs $329

hmm.. it all boils down to paying $320 ($649-$329) practically the double just to have the 1 feature @True Tone display@ that an eReader like would benefit... decisions, decisions.. I'm rich enough (kidding), probably more nerd then rich lol.. but.. its really tempting the new 9.7" to be honest.

What you all think ?
