The marketing of the new iPad tablet is imminent. For those who are not attracted by the appeal of novelty, know that the iPad range consists of models that are a little older but offer good value for money. To know everything about the Apple tablet, Prodige-mobile has concocted a buying guide for you..
The big iPad family
During its official presentation on January 27, 2010 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, the iPad caused a sensation. Never has a computer product attracted so much attention. Like what, we can be revolutionary, beautiful, practical and accessible at the same time.
Initially the customer had the choice between two models: a Wi-Fi version and a version with a mobile connection. The range of tablets from Apple then expanded over the years. We have thus seen the iPad Mini, the iPad Air and the iPad Pro appear..
The range is so extensive that it is sometimes difficult to choose. The latter will mainly depend on your usage habits and your needs. Processor power, screen size, weight, very high mobile speed (5G), stylus (Apple Pencil) or keyboard (Magic Keyboard), Apple offers a wide selection of products. Here are some tips for identifying the different iPad models.
iPad: review of details
The iPad is not a tablet like the others. Like all Apple products, it benefits from an exemplary finish. If you have other products from the apple brand, the iPad is a must..
Whether to check emails, listen to music, surf the web or watch a video, the iPad has become essential. Whatever the model, it will be able to perform all these tasks very easily without any problem.
Touetois, we get lost a little in the different models so the range is wide. Between the latest generation iPads, and the old references still present in the catalog, it is difficult to find the model that is perfectly suited to its use. Prodige Mobile takes stock of the various touch pads from Apple.
10.2 inch iPad 9
Apple's entry-level tablet is not demerit. Helped by an excellent LCD screen (10.2-inch panel with a definition of 2160 x 1620 pixels) and its A13 processor (the same as that fitted to the iPhone 13) it has established itself as the reference family tablet.
The very honest performance of the device will allow access to the latest games available on the App Store, including the titles that consume the most system resources. On the autonomy side, the 32.4 Wh battery will offer just over 10 hours of autonomy. What to see coming.
Only downsides: the slightly dated design (wide borders around the screen) and the low quality of the photo renderings. These two points may make some people hesitate to take the plunge. Otherwise for the rest, the 10.2-inch iPad is a great success. If you already have an iPad that seems too slow, here are some techniques to boost it.
12.9-inch iPad Pro
Cost aside, the iPad Pro is still the best tablet choice. Hyper-powerful processor (M1 chip identical to that present in the latest MacBooks) magnificent mini-LED panel with very thin edges, very thin case (6.4 mm thick), ultra-complete connectivity (Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 port ), 16 GB of RAM, difficult to find fault with it.
It's very simple, the iPad Pro 12.9 represents what is best in the world of the touch pad. And unlike its little brother the iPad 9, the photo part has not been sacrificed. The iPad Pro opts for two sensors: a main module of 12 megapixels and a wide angle of 10 megapixels.
The tablet produces beautiful photos with a satisfactory level of detail. However, this remains a notch below what the latest generation phones, such as the iPhone, offer.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro can easily replace a laptop, thanks in particular to its removable keyboard (Magic Keyboard). Only the weight and price could be a brake on its purchase. For the rest, it is faultless.
iPad Air
The iPad Air has recently benefited from a major restyling. On the program, a new 10.9-inch screen (definition of 2360 x 1640 pixels), the A14 Bionic chip coupled with 6 GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel wide-angle photo module.
Case level, it takes the chassis of the 11-inch iPad Pro. If you plan to buy a touchscreen tablet and you find the iPad 9 a bit poor in terms of performance, the Air version is a very good choice.
Much cheaper than the iPad Pro, it incorporates all the elements that made it successful. We just regret the disappearance of the 3.5 mm audio mini-jack and a somewhat light photo rendering in very low light conditions.
iPad Mini
The Apple iPad Mini differs from its cousins with a smaller 8.3-inch (Liquid Retina) display. But just like the iPad Air, the mini tablet has benefited from a deep restyling. And it is obvious. Forgot the wide black bands, the screen now occupies 77% of the total surface of the front of the device.
That's not all. The right side of the device has a magnetic magnet capable of recharging the Apple Pencil 2. In terms of performance, the iPad Mini accommodates the new Apple A15 Bionic chip and 4 GB of RAM.
The 12 megapixel camera (against 8 for the old version) now has a flash like on the Pro models. Finally, its compactness will delight owners of small bags but also those who travel a lot.
