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.- 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
- Reflective screen and no True Tone
- Entry level 32GB storage is miserly
- Dated bezel-heavy design
- Speaker positioning remains irksome

Apple iPad (8th Generation, 2020) (Review Apple iPad 32GB (Black, 8th Generation))
Apple's low-cost iPad continues to deliver- Good alternative to Chromebook for students, Fast, Affordable, Excellent app library
- Lackluster front-facing camera, Single-user OS, Dated design
Fast internet
My old iPad was sooo slow. My new gen 8 is great. Lots of storage for my photos too.
Fit for purpose
Needed a secure place to store and be able to easily revue approx 9000 photos of the Grannies growing up. Plus get access to internet and social media platforms.
Apple iPad 8 Wifi (128GB, Gold) AU Pristine review
It’s really great, but the limitations are becoming grating- 128GB version is a good value, Fast performance, Huge library of apps
- Base model only has 32GB of storage, No multiuser support, No USB-C
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.- good battery life
- high-quality aluminium chassis
- decent cameras
- Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard support
- bright and colour accurate display
- decent performance
- 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.- good performance
- good battery life
- good screen
- iPadOS
- plenty of apps
- good speakers
- long support
- recycled aluminium.
- 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.
Apple iPad 10.2 (2020) - Rejuvenation of the lower-priced Apple tablet
The iPad 2020 is not a huge leap forwards in the iPad 10.2 series. In addition to a more powerful So... iPad goes Bionic. The new iPad and the old iPad come with very similar specifications sheets. The 2020 model has a new SoC and a smaller carbon footprint.- beautiful design
- great battery life
- high level of performance
- support for the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard
- long-lived product line
- predecessor had a somewhat better display
- only Bluetooth 4.2
- screen-to-body ratio appears antiquated
