iPad, 7th Generation
More bang for your buck, euro or pound.
On Display
The new iPad 7th Generation has a 10.2-inch
display, with almost 3.5 million pixels and a
very wide viewing angle. It’s powered by an
A10 Fusion chip, which isn’t as good as the
A12 processors found in the iPad Pros or the
new A13 CPUs in the iPhone 11 series, but it’s
still a capable workhorse. It weighs about a
pound, and, for the first time, its enclosure is
100% recycled aluminium. It lacks a TrueDepth
camera, though, so Face ID isn’t an option. This
is probably the last Apple device that still uses a
Home button and fingerprint recognition.
The latest release in Apple’s tablet range is
not a dazzling new top-of-the range device,
but instead it’s a useful refresh for the
lower-cost, entry-level iPad. If you don’t yet
own an Apple tablet, and are keen to join
the fun without spending too much money,
it’s the perfect iPad for you. With a 10.2-inch
Retina Display, Apple Pencil and Smart
Keyboard Support, plus an A10 Fusion
chip, it’s definitely worth a look if you’re on
a budget. It’s a powerful tablet at an
affordable price.
