Throw in a super-slick user experience, the rather handsome looks, USB-C recharging and the interesting addition of Apple Pencil support and you’ve got yourself a little winner. Just a pity there's no 3.5mm headphones socket, of course. There are also speakers on both ends of the tablet, for the first time, meaning that you get a sense of cinematic sound even without headphones. It's sound which has moved on leaps and bounds, though, with a vastly improved level of dynamic expression to now match the trademark Apple crisp sense of timing. The 500nit LCD panel is less leaky for light than before, making video look punchy and exciting. The bezel has shrunk right down meaning that, while the device remains the same size as the previous generation, the screen itself is actually bigger. It's small enough to carry around in a jacket pocket while offering a viewing and listening experience that’s way beyond that of even a large mobile phone. This bigger-screened, better sounding iPad Mini is a huge improvement on the last model and just the ticket if an 8-inch tablet is what you’re after.

This tablet is right up there with that of the very best TVs you can buy. HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision are all supported. That makes for better contrast control with near-perfect blacks and brighter highlights, resulting in a supremely punchy image with great colour authenticity.

This is the same chip that Apple has in itsĪs for the screen, Apple calls it a Liquid Retina XDR display, with the ‘XDR’ standing for ‘eXtreme Dynamic Range’. With its high-end laptop-derived processor, and new mini LED-lit display, this is a real game-changer for Apple's latest premium tablet.Īpple positions its iPad Pro models as productivity and creativity devices, and the new M1 chip takes this to the next level. It's a little pricier than previous models, but still worth every penny.Įver wanted an OLED or QLED TV that you could fit in a backpack? The iPad Pro 12.9 is that – and plenty more. The sound is a big improvement too, with clear vocals and ample bass weight. Performance is as reliable as ever, with richer, bolder colours than the previous generation iPad, with plenty of dark detail to enjoy. Other improvements include the adoption of USB-C for charging and data transfers, and a higher screen resolution (to go with the larger size). The front-facing camera is now better positioned for video calls in landscape, too. And the screen has been enlarged, from 10.2 inches to 10.9. The new colours schemes (among them yellow and pink) add a sense of fun without cheapening the device. The 'all-screen' design brings it in line with the classy-looking iPad Air, with smoothed-off flat edges and narrow bezels. Gone is the monochromatic shell in favour of bright hues and squared-off edges. To see its trusty tablet into double digits, Apple has given it its biggest makeover yet. This is the 10th generation of iPad, which makes us feel a bit old.
