If you’re looking for something to replace a notepad, we wouldn’t recommend the new iPad – or any iPad for that matter, as it’s really difficult to write legibly on them, thanks to the way the tip of the Pencil glides across the surface.Īpple could make the glass more matte and ridged to help, but that would make the display harder to see, so it’s not an easily solved conundrum. It’s cheaper for those in education, and there is the Logitech Crayon available in the US for half the price (and less functionality), but it’s worth bearing in mind when buying the new iPad. We’ve been using it for a few years now, and have found that it’s great for some things, but useless for others.Īlso, let’s not forget that it costs £99 / $99 / AU$145, which means you need to pay around 33% of the price of the new iPad, on top of the cost of the slate itself, in order to access the key new feature. The Apple Pencil… it’s tough to work out whether it’s a genuinely innovative tool or not. The 128GB version begins at $429 / £409 / AU$599 for those who want more storage, with an extra premium to pay if you want some bytes of data floating in on the go. That's for the Wi-Fi only model, with the 32GB slate with cellular connectivity setting you back $459 (£449, AU$669). The new iPad 2018 price started at $329 (£319, AU$469), but schools will get a discount in the UK and US of around 10%.Īt $329 (AU$469) the new iPad price is exactly the same as the starting price of the new iPad (2017) – and both come with 32GB of storage – in the US and Australia, while in the UK it looks like consumers are being treated to a discount, as currency fluctuations meant the basic 32GB version is actually £20 cheaper than 2017's iPad. The new iPad was launched in March 2018, and comes with a range of storage and connectivity options. It'll bring an app library, changes to multitasking, improved widget functionality and more. Update: Apple's 2021 iPad operating system update, iPadOS 15, is coming to the 2018 entry-level iPad towards the end of the year. Sure, it's an impressive new addition to an already decent tablet range, but in the wake of the new iPad, this iPad 9.7 (2018) will likely see a price cut, so it could still be the device you're looking for - and with iPadOS available now, it's still improving. The company has announced the new iPad 10.2, which has a similar price but improved specs, and a bigger and better screen, compared to the tablet detailed below. The iPad 9.7 (2018) is no longer the newest entry-level iPad that Apple offers. Apple's tablets have traditionally run on the same iOS as iPhones, but Apple announced that it made its own offshoot operating system, called iPadOS.
Since release, there's been some news surrounding the 2018 entry-level iPads.
