Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Apple iPad 2020 WiFi (3GB + 128GB)

  • Excellent value for the price, frequently cited as the best budget tablet option.
  • Significant performance boost from the A12 Bionic chip, making it fast and reliable for multitasking and gaming.
  • Strong battery life, with many users and testers reporting 10 to 13 hours of use.
  • Vast and high-quality app ecosystem optimized specifically for the tablet experience.
  • Support for first-generation Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard increases versatility for students and creators.
  • Inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is missing from newer Air and Pro models.
  • Included 20W fast charger in the box provides better value than previous generations.

What customers don't like about Apple iPad 2020 WiFi (3GB + 128GB)

  • Base storage of 32GB is widely considered insufficient for modern apps and media.
  • Outdated design with large bezels and a physical home button compared to more modern tablets.
  • Non-laminated display results in a noticeable air gap between the glass and the screen panel.
  • Lackluster 1.2MP front-facing camera is poorly positioned for landscape video calls like Zoom.
  • Continued use of the Lightning port instead of the more universal USB-C found on other iPad models.
  • No official support for multiple user accounts, making it less ideal for families to share.
  • Display lacks modern features like True Tone or high refresh rates (120Hz) found in premium models.

Verdict

The 2020 Apple iPad (8th Generation) features a 10.2-inch Retina display with 2160 x 1620 resolution and 500 nits brightness, powered by the A12 Bionic chip with 3GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Key characteristics include support for the 1st-generation Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, a classic design with a Touch ID home button, an 8MP rear camera, and a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera. Its main pros are the significant performance boost from the A12 chip, reliable 10-hour battery life, and high value for everyday tasks and education. Main cons include the outdated non-laminated display that is highly reflective, the use of a Lightning port instead of USB-C, and a lackluster front camera for modern video calls.
