The 11-inch iPad Pro is a great tablet that Apple needs to kill
The Apple Pencil attached to the iPad Pro (2022).

Apple’s iPad has come a long way since it first launched in 2010. It now spans four different variations: iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. The iPad Pro lineup is the most peculiar because it has always come in two sizes ever since it debuted in 2015. There was always a 12.9-inch size, but the smaller model started with a 9.7-inch display, then a 10.5-inch one, and we now have the 11-inch model that exists today.

For some time, there wasn’t much difference between the two iPad models except for the screen size — if you wanted something more portable, the smaller one was the way to go. You could choose it and not miss out on any features that were only available on the larger, less-portable iPad Pro model. But since Apple added M-series chips to the iPad Pros, the 11-inch version has felt a bit out of place, as Apple only gives the larger 12.9-inch version the much-improved Liquid Retina XDR display with mini-LED technology.

The 5 worst iPads of all time

In 2010, Apple launched the first iPad, and it basically changed the tablet industry forever. Since then, the iPad product lineup has split up into four different models, and there have been a total of 33 iPad releases, making it harder than ever to keep them all straight.

Though Apple has had great success with the iPad, it hasn’t been without some fumbles here and there. We’re going to take a look at some of the worst iPad models that Apple has released so far, and why they made this list.

The iPad is no laptop, but this neat software trick brings it close
The iPad (2022) in its Magic Keyboard Folio accessory.

The 10th Gen iPad is no longer just the iPad. It is now an expensive Apple tablet with loads of power under the hood and some bold computing dreams. Bold, because those computing accessories don’t come cheap, and neither does the tablet itself. Plus, a bunch of cool capabilities like Stage Manager are exclusive to the iPads with the M-series processors, because Apple says the A14 Bionic is not powerful enough.
I somewhat disagree, but that’s a debate for another day. If you bit the Apple this holiday season and purchased an iPad, with all those keyboard and stylus accessories, you better push the machine to its computing limits.

But is iPadOS 16 any good at computing? Well, it depends on whether the apps you need are native to iPadOS. For a blogger like me, Chrome and a free image-editing app are all I need. My iPad can absolutely crush it all. But there’s more to the iPad’s computing chops than a few dozen Chrome browsers, a sketching or drawing app, heavy emailing, or any such web-based task.
