Pros & Cons:

Let’s check out some of its pros and cons.

Release Date:

• The iPad 10.2 2021 model’s official release date is the 24th of September 2021, i.e. along with its sibling Apple devices. Nevertheless, you can start pre-ordering now. In short, Apple is paving a way for its patrons to be able to buy the devices and is planning the logistics by looking at the customers’ responses

Price:

• The model with 64GB storage is priced at Rs 30,900 and for the one with 256 GB storage, the price is Rs 44,900. The prices are only based on the storage capacity and not on the color

Design:

• The design of the 2021 model of iPad 10.2 is completely unchanged and sports the same looks like 2020 one.
• All the changes that are available with the 9^th Gen iPad 10.2 are discreet and only the performance of the upgraded model speaks it all
• Apple aims to keep the same set of accessories and peripherals fully compatible with the newest iteration in its 10.2 iPad line of products
• The bezels are still clumsily large and the conspicuously big touch ID button takes away a big chunk of the device’s real estate
• Unlike the other iPad Air and iPad mini devices that have been debuted by Apple this year, the iPad 10.2 has only two color options, Space Grey and Silver

Display:

• Apple has continued its retina display legacy with the iPad 10.2 and offers stunning visuals
• The 10.2” display has a 2160×1620-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch (PPI)
• Despite virtually no upgrade with the screen, the display enriches everything it shows on the virtues of the device’ upgraded GPU by a massive 20%
• The True Tone technology is an upgrade that changes the display’s colors to the colour temperature of the room. This makes viewing the tablet comfortable in any lighting condition

Camera:

• There is definitely a great increase in the front camera. Apple has realized the importance of selfies, video calling, and video recording. The 12 MP front camera is a massive upgrade from yesteryear’s model
• The 122° ultrawide front camera is also great at taking wider and crispier pictures
• With the auto image stabilization feature, you can be sure to get non-shakey pictures on the device’s cameras
• You can take 1080p HD videos at 25, 30, or 60 fps
• Stabilization-enabled time-lapse videos
• Retina Flash on the front camera
• Burst mode

Charging and battery life:

• Charging can be done with the help of a power adapter or USB-C type cable to a computer system
• Both the Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi with Cellular network connectivity models have user non-replaceable 32.4 watt-hour lithium polymer batteries
• Apple states that for video-viewing and web-surfing, the Wi-Fi-only use lasts for nearly 10 hours and the mobile data use lasts for nearly 9 hours
• Since Apple wants to enable users to swap their chargers and other peripherals amongst the 2020 and 2021 models, we can assume that the current year model also supports a 12W, 20W, and 30W power adapter

Storage:

• The current generation iPad 10.2 will be available in 64 GB and 256 GB storage options

iOS 15:

• Apple has made the latest-gen iPad 10.2 (2021) Model available with iOS 15 right at launch. iOS 15 packs several features that will leave you with a jaw-dropping experience. They are as follows.
