The only major difference between this model and the more expensive Apple iPad Air is that the latter features a slightly larger display, and with that, more real estate for creative work.

As it stands, however, we’d argue that the 11-inch Liquid Retina panel on this iPad is more than enough for most tasks, as it packs plenty of brightness and colour detail, which can make games and films really pop.

Having 512GB built-in is also a massive boon, far more than what is offered on the entry-level iPad Mini, making this the better option for carrying around lots of apps, photos and videos.

Alongside Wi-Fi 6, which allows for quicker and more reliable internet connectivity when you’re close to the router, the 12MP front and back cameras offer access to fairly robust photography on the go, alongside speedy video calls with friends and family back home.

Unlike the previous generation of iPads, this one has done away with the Home button and has instead adopted a flatter design similar to the Air, with Touch ID built into the top button for seamless and secure authentication.

Thanks to Apple’s excellent chip design, the iPad 11-inch can still last for an entire day’s use with plenty left in the tank, so you won’t have to worry about hunting for a power outlet after your next flight.

With its eye-catching silver finish, excellent storage space and reliable performance, this is the best iPad buy for most consumers, so you won’t hear any argument from us over its value.
