The new iPad for 2019 was something of a surprise - we weren't expecting Apple to refresh its entry-level tablet, but what we've got is something that delivers better performance and a more attractive screen at a strong price point.

Larger screen; smaller bezels; Smart connector

Lacks FaceID; Accessories are expensive

The entry-level iPad is an excellent, relatively affordable all-purpose tablet. Add a Smart Keyboard and an Apple Pencil, and you have a solid productivity machine. It's not as powerful as any of the other iPads (including the $399 mini ), but it's the most affordable of the bunch and we expect it...

Larger display for better multitasking; Smart Connector lets you use Apple's keyboard cover or third-party option; iPadOS brings many software improvements

Mediocre cameras; Large bezels

Agree to Continue: Apple iPad (2019)

It’s an iPad, Smart Keyboard connector, Good battery life, iPad app ecosystem still great

Older processor, 32GB not enough storage on entry model, Keyboard and Pencil accessories are expensive

Is the iPad 7 2019 fun to use In our opinion, yes, but a large part of that is because of the new iPadOS, rather than any significant hardware changes that Apple has made this year. In short, the new iPad is a slightly larger version of the iPad 6 that supports the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard.

good battery life; high-quality aluminium chassis; decent cameras; Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard support; bright and colour accurate display; decent performance

thick display bezels; pricier than its predecessor; comparatively slow Wi-Fi

Apple iPad 10.2: ... but only if you don't spend £160 on Apple's Smart Keyboard

Thin and light; IPadOS is a huge improvement; Powerful enough

Has the same chip as an iPhone 7; Smart Keyboard is way too expensive

The addition of a Smart Connector and Apple's new iPadOS software turns the entry-level iPad from a passable laptop replacement into a device that may actually be the best sub-£500 device for business users, with excellent battery life, a great screen and some very versatile features.

Great battery life; iPadOS is outstanding for work; Great value

Official Smart Keyboard is expensive; No True Tone display; Uninspiring performance

Welcome to T3's Apple iPad 10.2 (2019) review, which takes a look at the new lowest-price tablet in Apple line-up, also known as the iPad 7th generation. For £349, you get a tablet that's physically nearly identical to the pricier iPad Air – it's a little thicker, but the build quality is just as...

Nice 10.2-inch screen; Zippy to use; Great multitasking features; Pencil and Smart Keyboard support

No True Tone screen; Keyboard case is expensive; Same A10 chip as older models

There is very little surprise or mystery left when it comes to Apple's iPad lineup. The tablets are a staple of Apple's hardware range -- an experience that's similar to your iPhone, only bigger, and in many ways more versatile.

Battery life; Apple ecosystem and App Store; iPadOS; Affordably priced

USB-C would have been nice; 32GB of base storage

I've just up up graded from a iPad mini 1 , can't believe how bad my one was so glad I pick this , easy set straight from pair with my iPhone so happy

The basic budget iPad is good, and makes a strong case for spending as little as possible on an Apple tablet in 2019.

The 10.2-inch iPad has a larger display than before, supports a few snap-on keyboard accessories and is one of the most affordable devices in Apple's gadget lineup; iPad OS works better than I expected and is well-optimized for the A10 processor

The base 32GB of storage isn't enough, meaning you'll really be paying $429 for the 128GB model; It's bigger and heavier than older model; The A10 processor is aging; It's similar to the previous iPad, which you can still get on sale
