Apple iPad 8th generation (2020) review

This iPad’s name has nothing extra tacked on the end. It’s no Air and no Pro – and that’s how it feels when you use it. But then it’s not trying to be those devices. This is Apple’s entry-level iPad – an iPad for the masses. The design feels old-hat and 32GB of storage is a misfire, but the shift to the A12 chip is the main story. That alone makes this a far more capable iPad than last year’s model – and one with greater longevity, whether you want a tablet for consuming media or fancy using one for creativity and work.
Pros:
  • The A12 is a powerhouse at this price-point
  • The screen is big and bright
  • App ambition Android can only dream of
  • Strong accessories ecosystem
Cons:
  • Reflective screen and no True Tone
  • Entry level 32GB storage is miserly
  • Dated bezel-heavy design
  • Speaker positioning remains irksome

Apple 10.2-inch iPad Wi-Fi 128GB - Gold MYLF2X/A review

Is the iPad 7 2019 fun to use? In our opinion, yes, but a large part of that is because of the new iPadOS, rather than any significant hardware changes that Apple has made this year. In short, the new iPad is a slightly larger version of the iPad 6 that supports the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard.
Pros:
  • good battery life
  • high-quality aluminium chassis
  • decent cameras
  • Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard support
  • bright and colour accurate display
  • decent performance
Cons:
  • thick display bezels
  • pricier than its predecessor
  • comparatively slow Wi-Fi

Apple 10.2-inch iPad Wi-Fi 128GB - Gold MYLF2X/A review

The eighth-generation iPad for 2020 isn’t a radical upgrade from the previous few versions of Apple’s cheapest tablet. But the company has done enough with new chips and software to keep it head and shoulders above the competition at a price point of about £300.
Pros:
  • good performance
  • good battery life
  • good screen
  • iPadOS
  • plenty of apps
  • good speakers
  • long support
  • recycled aluminium.
Cons:
  • older design
  • no USB-C
  • fairly slow charging
  • no Fornite or cloud game streaming
  • no multi-user support
  • low storage on the starting model with no way to add more.
