Ultimate guide to iPad
Since the introduction of the iPad, which reignited
a dormant tablet industry, Apple has gradually
improved upon the original model and today we
can use devices which are as powerful as some
laptops and desktop computers. The iPad is still king
A
pple entered uncharted territory by offering five different
models of iPad for sale at the same time. You can choose
from two Airs and four minis, which can be quite confusing
as the differences between some of the models are minimal.
However, we hope to highlight the main ones for you, which
should make a purchasing decision easier as you will be armed with
more information about the subtle changes. We can confirm that
the current iPads perform well, but your particular requirements may
mean that one model stands out above the rest and with the detail
included here, you should be able to find it and enjoy years of reliable
performance at home and when travelling.
