Apple has packed in the A10 Fusion chip, which is
quite powerful for a relatively inexpensive iPad.
The sixth‑generation model also contained the A10
Fusion, but as a frequent user of the 9.7in iPad,
I can attest that it’s more than enough power for
most of the apps you’ll use. Apple says the A10
“brings up to two times faster performance over the
top‑selling Windows PC4 for powerful multitasking
and smooth gameplay in Apple Arcade”.It supports the Apple
Pencil (first generation)
This isn’t really a surprise, as every recent iPad
supports at least one model of the Apple Pencil.The Apple Pencil is good
