The new entry-level iPad display lacks the anti-reflective coating that helps minimize glare in light, and it only supports sRGB colors, not the industry-wide standard P3 wide color.
On its website, Apple lists the new entry-level iPad with the same Liquid Retina display as the fifth-generation iPad Air with 2360 x 1640 resolution at 264ppi (pixels-per-inch). Unlike the iPad Air, however, the new entry-level iPad does not support P3 wide color, does not have an anti-reflective coating, and is not a fully laminated display, according to Apple's website.
The new entry-level iPad also lacks support for the second-generation Apple Pencil, still only supporting the first-generation Apple Pencil. Since the new iPad has a USB-C port, customers will have to use an adapter to charge their Apple Pencil with their iPad. Apple is selling an adapter for $9, but one is also now included in the box with the first-generation Apple Pencil.

In his newsletter over the weekend, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple was likely to announce at least some but possibly not all of the following products between March 2 and March 4: the iPhone 17e, MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs, updated entry-level iPad and iPad Air models, and a lower-cost MacBook with an iPhone chip.
As it turns out, Apple announced nearly all of those products, with the...
Apple has updated a wide range of products and accessories this month, but there is still no entry-level iPad 12 with Apple Intelligence support.

This was somehow glossed over by most news outlets during all the hype yesterday and is yet again another reason this is such a terrible value and I hope this generation falls on it's face. Apple needs to learn a lesson with this one.

Looks like this iPad was designed by subtraction with a focus on hitting a certain price point regardless of the means, not by thinking about what would create the best pared-down package for price sensitive buyers. Sad.
Apple Pencil 1 is probably one of the worst designed Apple products -- just look at everyone who's lost that stupid cap and has a bare lightning port sticking out. The fact that they're continuing to support it baffles me, even more so since they switched to USBC and you have to buy another stupid adapter.
