Apple iPad 10.2in (2019) review: The iPad grows up

The addition of a Smart Connector and Apple's new iPadOS software turns the entry-level iPad from a passable laptop replacement into a device that may actually be the best sub-£500 device for business users, with excellent battery life, a great screen and some very versatile features.
Pros:
  • Great battery life
  • iPadOS is outstanding for work
  • Great value
Cons:
  • Official Smart Keyboard is expensive
  • No True Tone display
  • Uninspiring performance

Apple iPad (2019) review: the new iPad 10.2-inch is the best cheap tablet you can buy

Welcome to T3's Apple iPad 10.2 (2019) review, which takes a look at the new lowest-price tablet in Apple line-up, also known as the iPad 7th generation. For £349, you get a tablet that's physically nearly identical to the pricier iPad Air – it's a little thicker, but the build quality is just as...
Pros:
  • Nice 10.2-inch screen
  • Zippy to use
  • Great multitasking features
  • Pencil and Smart Keyboard support
Cons:
  • No True Tone screen
  • Keyboard case is expensive
  • Same A10 chip as older models

Apple iPad (2019) review

The iPad is obviously an inferior device to the Air and Pro models, but if all you want a tablet for is media consumption and typing up the occasional word document, Apple’s cheapest slate is still the best option. The £130 extra you can pay for a base configuration iPad Air buys you a faster processor, a lighter frame and a better screen, but for most people, none of these things are must-haves, especially as the iPad remains an attractive and well-performing tablet despite its aging hardware. And the slightly bigger display and Smart Connector bring it even closer to the mid-tier tablet. iPadOS’s arrival also makes it an ideal time to invest in a new tablet if you haven’t done so in a while - and if you want to give your laptop the afternoon off, the iPad is a just-about capable stand-in. It’s like we always say: a milk chocolate Viennese might be the ultimate biscuit, but you can’t go wrong with a custard cream.
Pros:
  • Great price
  • Can now be used with Apple’s Smart Keyboard
  • Bigger screen, which matters no matter how small the increase
  • It’s an iPad - they’re good
Cons:
  • Nothing to entice those who bought an iPad last year
  • Non-laminated screen isn’t as good for drawing
  • A new processor would have been nice

Apple iPad 10.2-inch 2019

The basic budget iPad is good, and makes a strong case for spending as little as possible on an Apple tablet in 2019.
Pros:
  • The 10.2-inch iPad has a larger display than before, supports a few snap-on keyboard accessories and is one of the most affordable devices in Apple's gadget lineup
  • iPad OS works better than I expected and is well-optimized for the A10 processor
Cons:
  • The base 32GB of storage isn't enough, meaning you'll really be paying $429 for the 128GB model
  • It's bigger and heavier than older model
  • The A10 processor is aging
  • It's similar to the previous iPad, which you can still get on sale

Pros:
  • Battery life
  • Apple ecosystem and App Store
  • iPadOS
  • Affordably priced
Cons:
  • USB-C would have been nice
  • 32GB of base storage

Apple iPad 7 review

I’m sitting in a cafe typing on what could be an expensive tablet. I’m using a physical keyboard, and the responsiveness is just as strong as using a laptop. I can write on this tablet, I can draw on it, and I can even watch movies and play games on this tablet.
Pros:
  • Good performance, Great screen, Built very well, Supports Apple's Smart Keyboard Cover, Works with the Apple Pencil, Excellent value
Cons:
  • Isn't waterproof, Smart Keyboard Cover is very expensive in comparison to the iPad

Apple iPad (2019) review: Still the best affordable tablet money can buy

With its slightly larger screen and the introduction of the new iPadOS 13 operating system, the 2019 iPad is the safe, familiar and affordable iPad option. It lacks some of the speed and design points of the higher-end models, but that's why this is the perfect iPad option for many – as there's...
Pros:
  • Affordable price point
  • Apple Pencil support (1st Gen
  • IPad OS great for multi-tasking apps
  • Smart Connector means keyboard and accessories support
  • Ideal performance for media consumption and apps
Cons:
  • Bezels a bit chunky
  • Processor is fairly old in Apple terms
  • No FaceID
  • Not an anti-reflective screen
  • No True Tone screen technology
