The iPad (6th generation)

Apple A10 Fusion SoC and support for styluses such as Apple Pencil.[7] The iPad is also marketed towards educators and schools.[8] It was replaced in September 2019, by the seventh-generation iPad
. This is the last iPad to have the original 9.7 inch display.

Specifications

The iPad shipped with iOS 11, and had the iWork suite of apps pre-installed and included Apple Pencil stylus support.[7][9] The iPad supports iPadOS 17, the latest version of iPadOS.

The iPad's hardware is nearly identical to the

Apple A10 Fusion.[7][9] It is available in three colors: Silver, Space Gray, and a new gold color to match the updated color introduced with the iPhone 8. The iPad has 2 gigabytes of RAM.[10] It is 7.5 mm thick.[9] The iPad is available in 32 and 128 GB[a] storage options.[11][9]
Unlike other iPad models, the iPad 6 does not feature a laminated display.

Reception

The 2018 iPad received positive reviews. Gareth Beavis of TechRadar praised the addition of the Apple Pencil and the powerful A10 chip, but noted that it was as costly as the previous generation iPad.

Smart Connector as well as not having the same display technology as the iPad Pro, writing "the 2018 entry-level iPad doesn't add much, but it makes an already excellent tablet a better buy than ever."[13]
