Apple’s apps and toolbars are more like a computer too with toolbars, sidebars and pull-down menus, while Siri has been redesigned to launch faster and not take over the whole screen. The updated universal search now works more like the excellent Spotlight on a Mac, allowing you to search for data in apps, launch apps, find emails and search the web from a quick pop-up box. The interface has been revamped this year with new home-screen widgets for at-a-glance information such as upcoming appointments, battery life, Google search and other data from third-party apps.

You can also expect at least five years of software support from Apple, so you can safely use the iPad for longer than its competitors.

The iPadOS 14 update added a range of useful features making the tablet more like a Mac computer than ever. Apple is also using renewable energy for final assembly of the machine, and breaks down the tablet’s environmental impact in its report.Īpple also offers trade-in and free recycling schemes, including for non-Apple products. The iPad uses 100% recycled aluminium in its case, 100% recycled tin in the solder of its main board and at least 60% recycled plastic in multiple other components. The previous-generation iPad was only awarded a two out of 10 for repairability by the specialist iFixit.
The tablet is generally repairable, with an out-of-warranty service costing £ 246.44, which includes the screen. SustainabilityĪpple does not give a rated lifecycle for the iPad battery, typically 500 full-charge cycles, but it can be replaced for £99. It can also be charged with older USB-A Lightning cables and power adapters. The iPad ships with a compact 20W USB-C charger and a USB-C to Lightning cable and takes three hours to fully charge.

The tablet lasts more than nine hours while watching video stored offline with medium to high brightness, and for a similar length of time when using productivity and browsing apps for a bit of work.

But the iPad lacks support for both the latest wifi 6 and Bluetooth 5 standards, which have become commonplace in both tablets and smartphones over the past couple of years.īattery life varies slightly based on what you’re doing. Overall the chip makes for a considerable performance boost for the low-end iPad, and makes it considerably more powerful than most of its competition. The new chip is up to 40% faster than the previous one with twice as powerful graphics, but it also contains an AI chip, which speeds up tasks based on machine learning such as handwriting recognition and image manipulation. The A12 Bionic replaces the A10 used in the last two versions of the iPad, matching the fifth-generation iPad Mini launched last year. The new iPad has Apple’s A12 Bionic chip that debuted in the iPhone XS in 2018.
The bottom of the iPad has a Lighting port for power flanked by a pair of speakers. Screen: 10.2in 2160x1620 Retina display (264ppi)Ĭonnectivity: Wifi 5 (4G optional, eSim), Bluetooth 4.2, Lightning, Touch ID Neither will beat a good smartphone camera, but the front-facing camera runs rings around most laptop webcams for video calls. The new iPad has the same 8-megapixel rear camera and 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera as previous models. There is also a standard headphone socket in the top, which is missing from the iPad Air and iPad Pro. They still sound very good and miles better than what you get from most other tablets anywhere near this price. There are stereo speakers in the bottom of the tablet, but that means you only get stereo sound in portrait position, not landscape when watching video. It has the Smart Connector on the back for adding an optional Smart Keyboard Folio case ( £179) and it supports Apple’s first-generation Pencil stylus ( £89). The iPad has features that were once restricted to Apple’s top-of-the-range tablets.
That’s because screen and touch layer aren’t fully laminated together like they are on high-end tablets and most smartphones. It feels a little hollow when you tap on it and flexes when you press a little hard on it, emitting a little puff of air out of the bottom like a squeezy toy. The 10.2in LCD screen is crisp, colourful and bright for the money. The eighth-generation iPad supports all the same split-screen and multi-tasking features as Apple’s top-end iPad Pro.
