Meet the new iPad price; same as the old iPad price. (Unless you're a school, in which case it's $30 cheaper.)

So the new iPad has arrived, and the rumors were true -- kind of. It's a little cheaper ($299), though only if you're a school. Consumers will still pay $329, which is the same price as the 2017 baseline 9.7-inch iPad, which it replaces in the line.
