Our take on the Apple iPad A13, 10.2-inch, (2021), Wi-Fi + Cellular 256GB, Apple Intelligence Silver

The 2021 iPad (9th generation) is Apple's entry-level tablet, now with the A13 Bionic chip and a 12MP front camera with Center Stage. It keeps the familiar home button with Touch ID and a 10.2-inch Retina display. The 256GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model suits people who need lots of storage and always-on connectivity. Compared with the iPad Air and Pro, it uses an older design with a Lightning port and lacks support for the second-generation Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. Reviewers praise its value and smooth performance for everyday tasks, but note the dated screen and design.
