Small differences can sometimes have a big impact. Specifically, we talk about 0.1 inches, that is exactly 2.54 millimeters. The display of the new iPad is too large for this value to be able to use Microsoft Office for free.
At 10.1 inches, Redmond pulled the line long ago. Devices with a screen up to this size may use Office completely free of charge. If the screen is larger, numerous features require a paid Office 365 subscription. Now Apple has introduced this week a new iPad - with a screen size of 10.2 inches.
In view of this slight excess, one would almost be inclined to smell a conspiracy. Maybe Apple has deliberately blown up the border to make the users Microsoft Office and keep them in their own ecosystem. I can hardly imagine that, but who knows. The magazine ifun.de (via Golem ) has in any case inquired at Microsoft and received from there confirmation that the limit of 10.1 inches is still valid.
However, I know Microsoft well enough to know that the people who provide such information are not the ones who have something to decide. It should not surprise me, therefore, if there is a small adjustment there shortly, especially since this is for Microsoft a high-PR-template. It could be wonderful flowery explain that the buyers of the new iPad should come to the full enjoyment of Office.
