The iPad is replaced every year. In 2020, we are entitled to a minor evolution of the previous model, with in particular more power thanks to the A12 Bionic chip, which now replaces the A10 Fusion. The Wi-Fi version with 32 GB of storage is now cheaper than usual, and goes from 389 to 359 euros after an immediate discount of 8%.

Note that the 2020 iPad is only available in gold at this price.

To better understand the offer

• What are the characteristics of the iPad?

As always with its affordable tablet, Apple retains an authentic design with wide borders around the screen and a Home button equipped with Touch ID on the front. We then find the same format as the 2019 model with a 10.2-inch Retina screen (True Tone compatible) and also an identical size with a tablet not exceeding 500 grams on the scale. More anecdotal, we note the presence of the same 8 megapixel camera duo at the front and at the back, sufficient to make a FaceTime from time to time.

• What is the main difference with the old model?

The main difference with the iPad of 2019 comes from the integrated chip inside Apple’s affordable tablet. Formerly in the company of the A10 Fusion, this new iPad embeds the powerful A12 Bionic SoC, which equips the iPhone XS and XR. It thus gains in performance with a 40% improvement in its CPU, twice as much power for its GPU for game graphics and a neural engine capable of processing 5,000 billion operations per second.

Autonomy is still estimated at around ten hours, rechargeable via the good old Lightning port. We obviously find the same versatility in the use of the tablet with the possibility of connecting a keyboard via the Smart Connector and using the Apple Pencil of the first generation. It is obviously still possible to transform the tablet into a real game console by connecting an Xbox, PS4 or MFi certified controller via Bluetooth. A feature that makes perfect sense with Apple Arcade.
