This is now the lone iPad with a Lightning port

Front camera a big upgrade this generation,Robust design,True Tone added to display,Apple Pencil (1st Gen) support,Smart Connector for keyboards
The same design - which is looking dated now,No touch-to-wake screen,Rear camera hasn't been upgraded,Still uses Lightning connector
This is the last bastion of the original iPad design - as it's clinging on for dear life not to be axed. Much as this design was cutting edge once, in its ninth generation form it's looking far more dated.Chances are you won't care what it looks like, tho...
Excellent value, Upgraded selfie camera for video calls, True Tone display
No Face ID, Doesn't support newer accessories, Lacks recalibrating speakers
The iPad 10.2 (2021) is this year's best-value tablet from Apple. It's faster than its predecessor, it's easy to use and it features an upgraded selfie camera that makes video calling smoother than ever before. Other upgrades are incremental, such as the...

Great value overall,Strong screen quality,Fast and capable,Better storage capacity,
Apple Pencil's awkward charging, Weak camera quality, No landscape stereo speakers,
The iPad 10.2-inch (9th Gen) is an excellent budget tablet, and this new version fixes the two biggest gripes I had with its predecessor. It's just as capable for creative work as it is for watching YouTube, making it the cheap tablet you can do the most...
Our advice is to buy the iPad mini, but if you don't need the additional features tat model brings, and you don't want to spend the extra £160/$170 the standard iPad is still a great option (and if there are any deals on that model you'll see them below)...
Abstract: Apple offers four different iPad lines with five different screen sizes, ranging in price from $329 to $799 (for baseline models; the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with cellular connectivity and 1TB of storage will set you back $1,649). With updates to these tablets...
Abstract: Samsung's Galaxy S22 phones stole the limelight at the company's February Unpacked event, but three new premium tablets were announced at the same time. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 ($699.99), Tab S8+ ($899.99), and Tab S8 Ultra ($1,099.99) are pro-friendly...
Abstract: Kids want tablets. My daughter has had one since she was pretty small. First, it was a music player helping to lull her to sleep at night. Then it was the indispensable movie theater for long plane and train rides. After that, it became a vehicle for Mar...
Abstract: There are countless tablets on the market, but which one is right for you? Whether you're eyeing an iPad or one of the many Android models available, we have the key factors you need to consider when shopping, along with some of the top-rated tablets we'...
Abstract: Some tablets are pro-level laptop replacements, while others do humbler duty. Inexpensive tablets make great video players for kids, ebook readers, and alarm clocks, and can even work as digital signage. You don't need to spend $300 or more to get a simp...
