Customer Ratings & Reviews

AS WITH ALL APPLE PRODUCTS, IT WORKS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND RUNS AT GOOD SPEEDS. EASY TO USE AND EASY TO DOWNLOAD APPS TO IT.

While this entry-level iPad doesn’t have Face ID, we don’t consider that a deal breaker. After all, the Touch ID sensor is plenty useful — be it unlocking the device, authenticating passwords or authorizing payments. The core Touch ID is a real button on the seventh-gen iPad, so you get that punchy, tactile feel even when the iPad is off. Apple kept the same location for the home button, and we don’t expect that to change: When vertical, it’s centered on the bottom, and horizontally, it’s on either the left or right side, making it easy to access in both spots. There’s a front-facing 1.2-megapixel camera at the top, which is fine for FaceTime calls and selfies, but we wish Apple had updated this. Even an upgrade to a 5-megapixel or 8-megapixel lens would be appreciated. This way selfies and video calls will look a little better. The dream though? That would be a True Depth Camera (the same one found on iPad Pro and the iPhone 11 family) for Face ID and sharp Portrait selfies. That 10.2-inch display not only gives you more screen real estate to work with, but the Retina display provides high color accuracy that can get quite vibrant thanks to the LED-backlit design, leading to crisp text views. We didn’t experience the fuzziness you see on some lower-end tablets. The real superstar, though: the Smart Connector on the right side. With the Smart Connector, you can pair the seventh-gen iPad with a host of accessories, including the Logitech Combo Touch and Apple’s Smart Keyboard. It removes the need for Bluetooth (therefore getting rid of latency, as it’s a direct connection) and any battery life worries. That dedicated connection is one of our favorite things about this iPad, along with the bigger screen. All current iPads run the latest and greatest in terms of software. The seventh-gen iPad launched with iOS 13 and is now running iPadOS 13.5.1. It’s expected to get the new version of iPadOS, which we should learn more about at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on June 22. Apple’s A10 Fusion chip, with an embedded M10 coprocessor, powers the iPadOS. The seventh-gen iPad doesn’t provide the fastest experience on an iPad or any tablet — that title goes to the more expensive iPad Pro — but it has 3GB of RAM. In comparison with the sixth-gen and other low-cost tablets, the seventh-gen iPad is noticeably zippier with multitasking, load times and rendering. And that should be true for multiple months down the line, even as Apple releases new software updates trackpad/cursor support isn’t intended as the main way of interacting with an iPad. It’s touch first, and that’s not changing., But like the Apple Pencil or Keyboard, this gives you another option. Some people may find this a better experience than using the on-screen keyboard or drawing with a finger. Similarly, a cursor or mouse gives a more exact, finite amount of control. The seventh-gen iPad supports the first-generation Apple This has 10 hours of battery life, and that’s in line with what we’ve experienced. We haven’t seen much deterioration with the battery since launch. We’ve run our battery test several times, which consists of playing a video on a loop with brightness at 50% and the device on Airplane mode. In our tests, the iPad has consistently been falling between seven hours and seven hours, I have been getting nine to 10 hours. This feels like a classic iPad experience. The Touch ID sensor is nostalgic, but the 10.2-inch display and smart connector mean this is an iPad that can support both personal and productivity use.

The performance and quality is fast and outstanding! The size is great and feels lightweight to carry around. Highly recommend!

This ipad is excellent like all my previous versions. It is fast, easy to use, and easy setup. I highly recommend this ipad.

I love the IPad. Far better than the Samsung Nook I had previously. Screen clarity is great. Lightweight. Easy to use.

This Ipad is great for the value spent. It is a very fast Ipad and is affordable for first timers.

Can't go wrong when the price drops to $249. For the price I would highly recommend for a do it all type of tables.

Awesome IPad and good size too I had and old one and it was too slow but this one has a good size 10.2 and I love it

Lost my ipad 4, but glad to get this one at a good pricce and able to use the new features and speed of IPADOS 13.5.1

I have been using the Gold Apple iPad for the past year and it was a great purchase. All my pictures and files are conveniently stored at my fingertips. It is a great little portable laptop. I have my work, my entertainment apps, my storage for content and great quality streaming. Overall the product is something I would recommend for someone who wants a little bigger than a cell phone and more convenient than a laptop. Great purchase I would recommend.

ThIs ipad has a great battery. Not really many cons at all. Easy to use and love the size and the price was pretty decent

I've never had any apple products but this one is awesome! I love how easy it is to use and how light the iPad is in general.

Very happy with this iPad. Has all the memory I need for games and searching. Very fast and comfortable to use. Graphics are clear and colorful. The sound is great for music and games. Since I've purchased this, I very seldom get on my desktop. I'm sure Best Buy or Apple would like me to buy one each year, but for my use it might last me for years. I get the best price from Best Buy, with the best quality from Apple! Very happy!

I got the Ipad for a great price while it was on sale. It came with plenty of storage. Good screen and battery life.

Got this on an awesome dale. It replaced an ipad mini 2. Love the bigger screen. Its much faster as well. Supports the pencil.

Works great. I originally bought this to do digital art and take school notes as well (works great with 1st generation apple pencil) but my little sister hijacked it to play games. Lots of storage for Minecraft, Fortnite, my art & notes apps, and all the other games she has downloaded. I also bought a strong case for it so my sister has not damaged it at all but it is still an apple product so be careful with dropping it especially if you're buying it for your kids.

I bought this during christmas sale. iPads makes amazing gift. I was able to snag at very great discount. Absolutely love it.

Love it,would never go back to android,perfect screen size, resolution,and speed.

I purchased this iPad for college. I daily use note apps and have video conferences and this iPad never misses a beat or lags. I use it in combination with the Logitech crayon which works seamlessly together. It’s also nice for streaming for the kids. With the reviews I read on this new generation iPad vs the pro every one I watched said the pro isn’t worth the cost compared to the performance and I am glad that I went with this one. Definitely does all that I need it to do and more.

Upgraded from iPad 2. Use it everyday for work and play. Does everything I need it to do. Surpassed my expectations.
