Apple iPad’s 2018 Review

The Apple iPad received its review for 2018.  The 9.7 inch device from Apple has been reviewed by the public.  AS reviews go, some are positive and there are negative opinions as well.  Here are some of those opinions and reviews.

The Good Reviews

The 2018 entry-level iPad supports the Apple Pencil for art work and annotation.  It adds a faster A10 processor.  iOS continues to offer the best overall selection of free and paid apps on affordable tablets.

The Bad Review

It lacks the bigger, better screen, quad speakers, and Smart Connector found on pricier iPad Pros.  The Pencil, case and keyboard add-ons will bring the price up to laptop level.

The Bottom Line

The entry-level 2018 iPad does not add much.  But it makes an already excellent tablet a better buy than ever.

The iPad For Everyone

Basically, the 2018 Apple iPad is a 2017 model with a faster processor and support for the Apple Pencil. It ha a pricey stylus that lets you draw and make art work on screen with remarkable accuracy.  Its price is the same as last year’s model, starting at $329, for the 32GB model.  128GB and LTE cellular options cost more.

For schools, it is unclear how useful the new iPad is.  The device was unveiled by Apple at a March event in Chicago touting its commitment to education.  But if we consider the price of the 2018 iPad, it still feels like a miss to its primary Chromebook competitors.

But for average consumers, this updated iPad feels like a solid, ultrabudget Amazon Fire tablet.  But the adition of the Pencil support is the icing on the cake of what was already a top-notch consumer device.  The world of iOs is full of everythin.  Even without the fancy screen upgrades of the iPad Pro, the Retina screen remains gorgeous and responsive.
