The 10.2-inch iPad is a sensible entry-level Apple tablet with a bigger screen and Smart Connector, but owners of the 2018 model have little reason to upgrade.

Verdict
The iPad 7 (2019) is a slightly bigger iPad 6 that suits home and school use well, but Smart Keyboard support alone is not a reason to upgrade.

Verdict

The 2019 Apple iPad 7th Generation is an entry-level tablet featuring a 10.2-inch Retina IPS display with 2160 x 1620 resolution and 500 nits of brightness. It is powered by the A10 Fusion chip paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, offering up to 10 hours of battery life and support for the 1st Gen Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. Key advantages include its reliable performance for everyday tasks, a durable recycled aluminium build, and the inclusion of a Touch ID sensor and 3.5mm headphone jack. However, significant drawbacks include its dated design with thick bezels, a non-laminated display that is highly reflective, and the very limited 32GB of non-expandable base storage.
