![]() It might’ve been superseded by the redesigned (and much more expensive) 10th-gen iPad, but there’s still very little to complain about where the 9th-gen iPad is concerned – so much so that Apple decided to keep it on sale as the true entry-level tablet. The Touch ID sensor has been moved to the Power button like with the iPad Air, and there’s support for the second-gen Apple Pencil to boot, but the lack of a Smart Connector on the rear means that it doesn’t have its own Magic Keyboard – a real boon for the iPad Air and Pro range, and the only real chink in the mini’s armour. It’s powered by the same A15 Bionic as the iPhone 13 range, making it more powerful than the iPad Air at a similar price. It’s a gorgeous display too, with the highest pixel density of any iPad right now, but it is a bit on the small side for true split-screen multitasking. The iPad mini’s 60Hz display has jumped to 8.3in, but without changing the physical size of the tablet, allowing for more display real estate without affecting its portable nature. The sixth-gen iPad mini ditches the old form factor for something more akin to the iPad Air and iPad Pro range, with an angular design, stereo speakers, Center Stage technology and much smaller bezels than before. ![]() There’s also 5G connectivity and a 12Mp Center Stage front-facing camera this time around, two of the biggest omissions from the 2020 model, making it easy to recommend to most everyday users. There’s also the bright and detailed 10.9in display to consider, and although it doesn’t offer the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate technology of the Pro range, it can make use of the Magic Keyboard and second-gen Apple Pencil – something that can’t be said of any other non-Pro iPad. It’s much more powerful than any other non-Pro iPad, and it leaves the Android competition in the dust. The key feature of the iPad Air is that it boasts the same Apple M1 chip as not only the iPad Pro range but desktops like the 24in iMac and Mac Mini, offering significant gains in both the CPU and GPU department, making it ideal for content creators, students and gamers that need laptop-level power on the go. ![]() The latest iPad Air is undoubtedly the best iPad for most people, and it’s not just down to the modern look, complete with a full-screen display and angled edges. ![]()
