2020:  Which iPad You Should
Actually Buy and Avoid?

https://cutt.ly/Xt48NgD

Buying an iPad should be simple. You just buy whatever’s new, right? If only. Apple sells four main iPad models, each with its own strengths. In addition, there are a growing number of older iPads floating around the eBays of the world. Since all these devices generally look the same, it’s important to know what you’re buying and what you should pay for it.
This guide covers the best iPads available right now, the important differences between each model, and every old model that exists, including the ones you shouldn’t buy at any price.

Be sure to check out all our buying guides, including the Best iPhones, Best Tablets, and Best MacBooks.

A Good iPad

Apple iPad (10.2-Inch, 2019)
Apple's most affordable tablet is a very slight refresh of the iPad that debuted in 2018, except now there's support for the Apple Pencil (first-gen) and the Smart Keyboard (Amazon). It's a shame Apple didn't update the processor as it has the same A10 Fusion chip from 2016 inside, but the iPad should have no trouble running most apps and games. We do like the small 0.5-inch bump in screen size from 9.7 inches to 10.2 (this one is half an inch taller to compensate).

The only downside is, like the 2018 iPad, it has a bit more air gap (space between glass and screen) than the iPad Air, Mini, and Pro, so it isn't our top choice for drawing with the Pencil, though it is compatible and works just fine.

A Better iPad
Apple iPad Air (10.5-Inch, 2019)
The 2019 iPad Air adds a faster A12 Bionic processor in the chassis of the 10.5-inch iPad Pro that came out in 2017. So it's the same size as almost every iPad you've ever held, but with slightly more screen space than the new 10.2-inch default iPad. If you're a fan of Touch ID, this is Apple's most powerful iPad that still has a home button and fingerprint sensor.
It's also compatible with the standard Apple Pencil (Amazon), and its laminated screen places the glass closer to the pixels than on the standard iPad, making it more pleasant for drawing or writing. Apple's Smart Keyboard can snap onto it.

The Ultimate iPad

Apple iPad Pro (11 or 12.9-inch, 2020)
The iPad Pro is the absolute best iPad, but it doesn't come cheap. Unlike the others, it doesn't have a home button or Touch ID, but it uses the front camera for Face ID just like most modern iPhones. It has slimmer edges around the screen, which allows for a larger display that comes in two sizes. The 12.9-incher is about the size of a magazine, and it's wonderful for drawing with the Apple Pencil (a separate purchase), but the 11-inch model is plenty for most people. The Pencil is different from the one available for other iPads—it magnetically sticks to the edge of the iPad Pro and wirelessly charges.
The 2020 Pro isn't dramatically more powerful than its predecessor. Instead, the upgrades come largely to the camera. There are now two: a 12-megapixel main camera and a 10-megapixel ultrawide lens for snapping sweeping scenes, like on the iPhone 11. There's also a lidar sensor, the kind used to measure depth for self-driving cars, but here it's used for better augmented reality. However, as senior writer Lauren Goode notes in her review (9/10, WIRED Recommends), it's not a drastic improvement, especially if you barely use AR apps.
Perhaps more exciting is the new keyboard with a built-in trackpad that Apple will offer in May. It's expensive at $299, but it might be worth holding out for, as proper cursor support introduced in iPadOS 13.4 helps make all iPads closer to laptops than ever. Alternatively, you can pair the Smart Keyboard with a Bluetooth mouse.
