There are not too many differences between the 2020 and 2021 10.2in iPad, but Apple has chosen its refinements well. The display has been bumped up to True Tone, the front-facing camera has received a big upgrade in terms of quality, plus the A13 Bionic c...

The iPad 10.2-inch (2020) is our favourite cheap tablet because it matches excellent software and apps with great build quality. There are areas for improvement, but it's just a no-nonsense top tablet.Reasons to buy+Super slick and fast software+Superior...
Excellent software, Apple Pencil apps are great, Impressive battery life,
Expensive accessories, Unoriginal design, 32GB storage is paltry,
Despite its dated design, the new iPad is a great creative tool thanks to Apple Pencil support, plenty of power and decent battery life. That said, it isn't worth upgrading from last year's model, and if you do pick one up, opt for the 128GB storage optio...
Apple fans might be slightly perturbed by the modest progression made here - the iPad 8th Generation's advancements won't make owners of the previous generation iPad rush out to upgrade.However, they provide a welcome and affordable opportunity for anyone...
Cheap, Large, bright display, Compatibility with Apple accessories
32GB of storage, Downward-firing speakers, 1.2Mp front-facing camera
The iPad 10.2in (2020) fixes my biggest complaint about last year's iPad, the processor. Sporting the same A12 Bionic chipset as the iPhone XS, it's not Apple's latest and greatest, but it offers a significant boost in performance compared to 2019's optio...

Baseline storage is tight, Old-fashioned design
If you've never owned an iPad before, or you own an iPad from a few years back - the iPad Air 2, say, or the fifth-gen iPad from 2017 - then this is a great tablet to pick up for general use. It's light, portable, comfortably quick enough for any app you...

The eighth-generation iPad for 2020 isn't a a radical upgrade from the previous few versions of Apple's cheapest tablet. But the company has done enough with new chips and software to keep it head and shoulders above the competition at a price point of ab...

If you're either keen to upgrade an older iPad or want to get your foot into the iOS ecosystem then the iPad 8 is a great pick, especially if you're not overly fussed about flagship features or spending big. If you want a bit more, the iPad Air 4 is far m...
Fast and responsive, Slim and lightweight, Reasonable price
Webcam is mediocre, Non-laminated display, No USB-C
This year's Apple iPad 10.2in is a pretty easy recommendation. It's the best tablet in its class in almost every area, and more powerful than anything you can buy for the money, too.Add a keyboard – whether that be the official one or a cheaper, third-par...

Apple's iPad design - which has effectively been in use since the launch of the first iPad in 2010 - is still alive and kicking in this 2020 model, a full eight generations later. It's effective, but is looking a little dated in this day and age.But that...
