Apple iPad 9.7 (2018) review: the go-to iPad tablet gets a little bit better and a little bit cheaper

 

Apple's lower-priced tablet is almost the same as last year, but with a price cut, Pencil support and very solid battery life we're not complaining

Great battery life ; Good screen ; Sufficiently powerful ; Great value

Weak speakers ; No TrueTone screen ; Camera isn't very strong

Apple iPad 3G review

 

Now out in the UK, we look at the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G - is it worth the extra cash?

Great user interface ; Fantastic app experience ; Great screen ; HD video looks brilliant

Not convinced about the keyboard ; It's pricey ; Tariffs not cheap either

Update: check out our Apple iPad 2 review

Apple iPad Wi-Fi review

 

The latest head-turner in the Apple stable, we found the iPad a versatile and accomplished performer that's a joy to use

Beautifully made ; big screen ; sound is good through speakers and excellent via headphones

Speakers are too quiet ; attracts fingerprints ; still no Flash support

It’s a luxury but the iPad looks great, sounds great, and is a joy to use for an ever-expanding range of tasks

Apple doesn't care about the iPad because it's already too popular

 

Apple held back with the latest iPad refresh, and the reason could be because it's becoming too popular.

Apple needs to complete its iPadOS puzzle if it wants to keep the iPad Pro afloat

 

In its current state, iPadOS lets down the iPad Pro -- Apple needs to reevaluate its OS strategy to justify the price of its 'Pro' tablets.

Apple iPad review

 

There are two ways I could write this Apple iPad review: the pessimistic way or the optimistic way. For a device that has polarised the gadget community as to whether it is the "second coming" or merely "sucks", the thing that both approaches have in...

Watch movies, play games, read books, great screen

Will cost you to fill it with useful stuff, can't multitask yet, limited to what Apple offers you

So what's the score, what's the rub, and should you buy it?
