Available space is less and varies due to many factors. Storage capacity is subject to change based on software version, settings and iPad model. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity less. Like the iPad mini (2021), the iPad 10.2 (2021) arrives running iPadOS 15, Apple’s dedicated tablet version of iOS. As well as offering many of the features found in iOS 15, it’s designed to make the most of the tablet’s form factor, and as such, it brings refinements to multitasking. Apple has given the iPad 10.2 a new chipset in the form of the A13 Bionic processor, which debuted in 2019 in the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. While it’s not the brand’s latest processor – that’s the A15 Bionic, which can be found in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro – it’s certainly a solid upgrade over the A12 Bionic in the iPad 10.2 (2020). Among the major innovations of iPad 2021 the processor or the A13 Bionic chip certainly stands out. Apple promises a 20% faster GPU than its predecessor, particularly responsive when gaming or multitasking. The Neural Engine is combined with the new iPadOS 15 operating system, proving to manage even the most complex apps very well. For those who want to use the tablet as if it were a small notebook, Apple guarantees full compatibility with the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard. Taking notes, drawing or taking screenshots becomes child's play. Apple: The Price of Innovation

AppleCare+ provides unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection. Each incident is subject to an excess fee.

Apple Fitness+ requires iPhone8 or later with iOS16.1 or later or Apple Watch Series3 or later with watchOS7.2 or later paired with iPhone 6s or later with iOS 14.3 or later. The rear camera is the same as before: an 8MP unit with an f/2.4 aperture. Compared with a premium smartphone, or even a mid-range handset, it’s fairly unremarkable but it will take a decent shot in a pinch and also captures fairly competent 1080p video at up to 60fps. Apple iPad (2021) review: Performance and battery life Apple continues to lead the way when it comes to OS upgrades, and the iPad is assured at least three iPadOS updates. Apple rolls these out to all devices at once, so you don't have to worry about future devices skipping the line. And even though rival Samsung’s upgrade policy has improved exponentially over the past few years, it's not as consistent with delivering its Android tablet OS updates on time. The Best iPad for Most People

The dimensions remain unchanged compared to iPad (2020), and the Cupertino giant re-proposes the now tested Retina display. The screen is ideal for watching movies, playing games or drawing, and guarantees brilliant colours and incredible detail. The True Tone adjusts the colour temperature and protects the eyes of those who spend hours in front of the screen. The prices also differ little from what we have seen in past years and are confirmed as those of the high-end to which the iOS tablets belong. Cellular models with 256 GB memory are the most expensive, but by giving up some storage and the LTE connection you can save some money.

Apple iPad (2021)

The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air and iPad (10th generation) screens are 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches. Actual viewable area is less. The 10.2in iPad is still the best tablet for most people offering an unbeatable combination of value, performance, software and longevity. Game availability for the 200+ titles across devices varies based on hardware and software compatibility. Some content may not be available in all areas.

Apple Fitness+ requires iOS14.3 or later, iPadOS14.3 or later, watchOS7.2 or later, and tvOS14.3 or later. If you opt for the cellular model, you can pop in a SIM from any carrier or use an eSIM for service. I tested the slate on Verizon’s network in downtown Chicago and recorded average speeds of 78.4Mbps down and 56.6Mbps up. Granted, those aren't the same super-fast 5G speeds you can get on the iPad Pro, but it’s more than enough power for working on the go or streaming Netflix. Less Need to Lug Your Laptop The iPad's 12MP ultra-wide front-facing lens has a 122-degree field of view and performs well in just about any lighting scenario. This makes for dramatically improved selfies, and more importantly, video call quality. In an age when video calls matter more than ever, this change couldn't have come at a better time.As its name tells you, the iPad 10.2 (2021) has a 10.2-inch screen. Apple first increased the size of the display on its entry-level iPad in 2019, and the extra half-inch of screen real estate has become the norm for Apple’s most affordable tablet. Benchmarks underscore our findings. The iPad scored 1,331 single-core (SC) and 3,516 multi-core on Geekbench 5. For comparison’s sake, the 2020 iPad scored 1,114 SC/2,474 MC, and the more expensive Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE scratched out 656 SC/1,959 MC on the same test. If your iPad is eligible and you accept the quote, we will send you a free trade-in kit, separate to your new iPad (at no cost to you), so you can then send in your current iPad within the 14-day return window. Wi-Fi + Cellular models with embedded eSIM technology include iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later), iPadPro11‑inch (1st generation or later), iPad Air (3rdgeneration or later), iPad (7th generation or later) and iPad mini (5th and 6thgeneration). The rear 8MP camera sensor is unchanged. With enough light, you can easily grab reference shots or scan documents with it. In low light, noise starts to creep in, and photos are shallower. And with AR tasks, depth perception seems slightly skewed. Better With iPadOS
