From £349 FROM Apple, apple.com/uk FEATURES 10.2-inch Retina Display, Apple Pencil (first-gen) support, smart connector, A10 Fusion Chip
The iPad is Apple’s most affordable tablet. Starting at £349, the latest seventh-gen model has been given a bigger screen and extra memory for 2019.
At first glance, there’s little to differentiate the 2019 iPad from last year’s model. Apple has bumped up the overall body size; it’s marginal so it’s quite hard to spot but it’s just over 10mm taller and a little over 4mm wider. The case is now made from 100% recycled aluminum, and the weight has also increased slightly at 483g for the Wi-Fi model.
As before, you get an 8MP rear camera, 1.2MP FaceTime camera, 3.5 mm headphone jack and a Touch ID sensor.
What is noticeable, though, is the extra real estate from the 10.2-inch screen, especially given the brilliant multitasking features in iPadOS. As per the 2018 model, there’s support for Apple Pencil here, albeit the first-gen model, and the 2019 model now boasts a smart connector so that the tablet can be used with Apple’s Smart Keyboard – or other accessories, such as Logitech’s Slim Combo Keyboard Case.
Obviously, buying an Apple Pencil and a Smart Keyboard affects the ‘value’ element of buying the entry-level tablet but if you really want to get the most out of it – and out of iPadOS – we think you’re better off investing.
