    I bought this for my nephews to use for college and they love it! The performance, speed, screen, and everything is truly top notch. It was a bit pricy but totally worth it. I got the 256GB storage as my nephews needed plenty of space. I highly recommend this iPad if you can afford it. I debated on the 10th generation and this one. After looking at several reviews, this is the one I choose for the superior features and performance. It costs a bit more but is well worth it!

    This iPad is compatible with the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) which I strongly preferred over all the other pencils, so it was important to me to find an iPad that was compatible with that particular pencil. That pencil will magnetically attach to the iPad and will charge from the iPad rather than having to connect a charger to the pencil, so I thought that was neat.

    I use this iPad mainly for digital art, note taking, and writing books. It gets used for a 3-6 hours everyday and I always leave it turned on 24/7 and I only end up having to charge it every 3-4 days. I take it everywhere with me because while it’s not very small, it’s still smaller than any laptop and will fit in a large purse or tote that I carry around daily lol. It’s great for graphic designers, digital artists, and/or students who need to take notes, study, do projects, or write papers (get a keyboard case for typing) and so much more.

    When drawing and making my digital art, the pencil glides across the screen so smoothly like an ink pen on paper, there is no LAG, no funky looking results or anything when drawing, everything comes out the exact same way that I draw it on the screen. And this is way better than buying a graphic tablet and having to hook it up to a laptop or PC. I haven’t had a laggy experience with doing anything on the iPad at all so far. Everything loads up and syncs up quite quickly I just love it soooo much. I got the wifi+cellular one but I don’t use the cellular connection, only the wifi connection. But I got cellular anyway in case I change my mind one day if I find that relying heavily on wifi everywhere I go, just to use my iPad, is no longer an option. But I probably won’t though since my phone has a hotspot and majority of the time I just connect it to that if I’m not at home to use wifi, still works like a charm.

    I am very pleased with my purchase and this was 100% worth the money. I do wish I had more storage though, I got the 256GB one but I wish they made this model with 1TB or 2TB storage.. But I’m not complaining because I haven’t nearly run out of storage or anything, I’m just afraid that I will create so many files or download so many apps that one day I MIGHT actually run 🏃‍♂️ out 😅 but that day is probably a long way away.

    I bought this to replace an aging series 5 iPad, knowing full well the rumors are numerous that Apple is ready to come out with a new vision of the iPad Air, possibly two new releases. The price of this iPad at about $150 less than a newer possible version, assuming the pricing remains the same, made this an obvious choice. It has more power than I will ever use and definitely worth the price.
