Best iPad for most people

Apple iPad (10.2 inch, 2020)

Apple

The cheapest iPad is also the one we're most likely to recommend for people looking for a new iPad for family and general use.0, Apple installed a faster A12 bionic chip for the 10.2 inch iPad, which gives it a performance improvement over the previous iPad model. This is the same processor running the iPad Air third generation . It's also the latest full-size iPad with a headphone jack.

That said, the latest generation model is still a good choice. It can handle the latest iPadOS very well and should do all standard iPad tasks for a while. It doesn't matter if you go with the old or new model, we have a word of warning: the 32GB of basic storage can fill up quickly, so we recommend using the 128GB version if possible. .

Best iPad for those who want a little more

Apple iPad Air (10.9 inches, 2020)

Sarah Tew /

Apple recently released an update to its iPad Air with a new supercharged processor, the A14. The 2020 Air is the first proled Apple to use this chip, and it goes without saying that it is a huge improvement over the A12 in the 2019 Air.

The iPad Air 2020 gets a larger 10.9-inch screen, but its thinner bezels make it roughly the same size as the 10.5-inch Air 2019. Touch ID is now integrated with the power button, which should make it easier to unlock. The new iPad Air also supports Apple Pencil 2, as well as Apple's Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folio. Plus, it has better cameras, faster Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, and upgrades from a Lightning port to a more universal USB-C port. But with all the upgrades, it starts at $ 100 more than the previous generation. We haven't tested the new model yet, but it's a must-have iPad for anyone looking for something more sophisticated than a regular iPad.

The third generation Air goesut always worth considering, especially if you can find it at a lower price now. The 2019 iPad Air looks a lot like the 10.5-inch iPad Pro models 2017. Starting at $ 499, it's built around a 10.5-inch Retina display like the 2017 Pro b ut has an updated A12 Bionic processor like the one that powers the iPhone XS . If you want better performance and more storage space - there are 64GB or 256GB options - you should consider stepping up the Air. Plus, while it's bigger than the entry-level iPad, it actually weighs a hair less. Find out more .

Best iPad for power users

Apple iPad Pro (2020)

If you're a digital artist or have waited years for an iPad that blurs the line between tablet and MacBook, the latest iPad Pro is what you want. Aside from different screen sizes (and respective resolutions) and weights, the 11 and 12.9 inch Pros are the same. If you're planning to replace the iPad Pro as a laptop, you'll probably want to go for the 12.9-inch version for the significant increase in workspace. When it comes to performance, it has all of the latest and greatest components that Apple iPads have to offer. If device longevity is the key, you'll want to pay the premium for the iPad Pro 2020.

Best iPad for commuting

iPad Mini (7.9 inches, 2019)

Óscar Gutiérrez /

The smaller iPad doesn't look any different from 2015, but for 2019 it has a faster A12 processor and Apple Pencil support. These additions make the Apple iPad Mini 7.9 inch - from $ 399 (£ 399, AU $ 599) - a smart choice for those who want a smaller device for taking notes and drawing while giving you better gaming performance and more writing space.as your phone to play a nd videos (and you won't consume your phone's battery life either). While its large bezels make it look a bit dated compared to the rest of the range, at least the iPad Mini has Touch ID and a headphone jack to go with them.

It's worth noting, however, that the processor is now the same as the new 10.2-inch iPad, which starts at $ 329 with 32GB of storage. You get 64GB in the base iPad Mini, and although it's smaller, it has a better screen quality and Bluetooth 5.0. Still, it seems like you're mostly paying extra to get the same performance in a smaller body. Read our Apple iPad M ini 20 review19 .
