The iPad Air 4 has a beautiful display, and if you purchase a 2nd Gen Apple Pencil with it you can use this tablet as a solid digital art pad. Plus, it supports the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil, making this the ideal tablet to get if you want a digital art creation station that's larger than the iPad mini 6, but more affordable than the iPad Pro. The iPad Air 4 has the vibrant, sharp display we've come to expect from iPads, and its A14 Bionic chip is still plenty fast enough to handle whatever apps you throw at it. In our iPad Air 4 review we called this tablet a potential laptop replacement, in part because when you pair it with a Magic Keyboard it's possible to do most of the work you could do on a MacBook on this easy-to-carry tablet.īut of course, it's also great as just a humble tablet. Casey/Tom's Guide)Īpple hasn't released a new Air since the iPad Air 4 in 2020, but that model remains an excellent tablet for anyone who wants a mid-range iPad that delivers some iPad Pro-level perks in a thin and light design. If you're willing to pay for a Magic Keyboard, you can use it to turn the iPad Air 4 into a halfway decent laptop. Measuring just 7.7 x 5.3 x 0.25 inches and weighing in at just over half a pound, the iPad mini 6 is easy for most people to hold with one hand and thus a great tablet for reading (especially comics), watching videos and playing games. But while smartphones are great for getting things done while you're out and about, the iPad mini 6 is better suited for recreational use at home. You can even get an iPad mini 6 with 5G connectivity, effectively turning it in to an unwieldy smartphone. The iPad mini 6 sports a vibrant 8.3-inch (2266 x 1488 pixels) display, which is only a bit bigger than the 6.7-inch (2778 x 1284 pixels) display on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple released the sixth iteration of the iPad mini in 2021, and in our Apple iPad mini 6 review we lauded it for managing to deliver everything we expect from a great iPad - speedy performance, a gorgeous display, good battery life and great cameras - in a small, lightweight package.Īdmittedly, at this size the line between small tablet and big phone becomes quite thin. The iPad mini is effectively a pint-sized iPad, and it's great for folks who don't enjoy having to hold or carry the heftier tablets on this list. The iPad mini is a pint-sized iPad, and that makes it great for reading (Image credit: Henry T. The biggest problem is finding the new iPad in stock, as it's been sold out pretty much everywhere. With the lowest starting price ($329) of any iPad Apple sells, the basic iPad is great when you want to give someone (including yourself) the gift of a new iPad but can't afford (or don't want) the slimmer designs and expanded features of other iPads on this list. However, there is one upside to the 10.2-inch iPad's dated design: this is the only iPad that still sports a physical headphone jack, which means you can plug in your favorite pair of headphones when you want to tune out the outside world.
While you can still buy one of Apple's Smart Keyboards or a 1st Gen Apple Pencil to use with this iPad, it's a little disappointing that Apple's best accessories aren't compatible with the base iPad. Unfortunately, the dated design limits what accessories you can use with the base iPad, as it doesn't support Apple's Magic Keyboard or the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil. While the thick bezels feels a little dated, especially when compared to the thin and light iPad Air or the lavishly large 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the basic iPad remains a well-built and easy-to-use tablet. In our Apple iPad (2021) review we celebrated this 10.2-inch tablet for its bright, vibrant screen, speedy performance and excellent 12-hour battery life.
