              As usual, lots of anti Apple people here churning their poison. The iPad is, however, the device to have if you don’t want to spend a lot. And you don’t want to buy a new tablet every year. And judging from my “ancient” iPad Air 2 from which I type this, getting an iPad it will most likely be fully useful and get all the latest updates 7 years later. Not to mention that after all this time, and after having used it heavily as my main computer, the battery can still last from anything between 6 to 10 hours depending of the kind of apps I use. I wouldn’t think for a second to fall for an Android tablet, especially those Chinese copycats.

                battery test image is not actually correct because new iPad 2021 doesn't have white frame. front frame in both colors is black.

They just get so slow and are bloated with rubish software. Going for a mini now. You want a stable device that just works , go Apple.

                    I guess iPad isn't so environment friendly after all and the Apple stickers are waste of trees. Get rid of the box as well, brand new iPad wrapped in re-used newspaper is ok!

                        I'm impressed that apple is last to keep 3.5mm jack in tablet.
                        Overall I can't agree that any android tablet can match iPad in its price range.

                          So... the Xiaomi Pad 5 review describes its hardware performance as "flagship grade." Meanwhile, this iPad review describes the performance as "usable"... Even though the iPad outperforms the Xiaomi Pad 5 in the benchmarks. Go figure...

                            Anonymous, 08 Oct 2021It can do pretty much everything the latest iPad Pro can doYea well that's not true. The ipad 12.9(2021) has bigger display better display faster soc bigger battery slightly better camera(though cameras don't matter). But yea

                              Anonymous, 08 Oct 2021u know , u cannot talk good about apple in gsmarena ... peo... moreU can't say anything good on anything. Since haters will come and hate

                                I don't mind those bezels since it still has a physical Home button with Touch ID, but even the iPad Mini no longer use the Lightning port. Also, the 2020 iPad 10.2 is still a good buy if you ask me.

                                  CHEAPER than ipad.
