A10 - drop me out. Those apps written for an A13 Bionic are going to run like a dog in this.
My sister is still using my iPad 2 as a facebook live streamer and mini TV. It's a great device that hopefully will last a few more years.
Criticism isn't hate. Jews were hated during the Holocaust. Blacks endured hatred during the civik rights era. You don't know what true hatred is.It’s a good entry level iPad. Still haters gotta hate.
My mom is still using hers also - I need a new one because I am running out of space (The only app I use on it is Kindle).
Are you all talking about the iPad Air 2? Because I have an iPad 2 and it’s so slow it’s just about useless. I have an iPad Air 2 as my current iPad and if this new iPad has a laminated display I’m on board.
They should do better than the 2015 era 1st-gen Pencil.
It's not like it's bundled. They'll still charge you $100 for it!
It's not laminated. The length and width of the iPad 7 is the exact same as the 2019 iPad Air, but it is thicker at 7.5mm versus the iPad Air 3/iPad Pro 10.5" which is 6.1mm.

Buy a Logitech Crayon for $49 instead.
That 2015 era 1st Gen Pencil is still miles better than 90% of all of the other crap "styluses" on the market. Besides, why would you expect a 2nd Gen Pencil on the base model iPad? That makes zero sense.

At $329, this iPad is still a decent value. A few things that would have been made it better:Yeah, I just looked at Apples website.
Yeah, it's a great tool for those who want to compare the differences between their older iPad and a newer one.There are now 16 different models to compare on Apple's website https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/# under "compare all"
Man Apple seems to hate the A11 and I guess putting an A12 on it was going to be getting too close to the iPad Air.
I have a decision to make. My 11 year old is gonna get an iPad this fall.
The choice will be either a 6th gen at the current $250 price range or a new 7th gen at $330.
That extra $80 would just about pay for the pencil.
I wonder what the differences are between the 6G and 7G?
1. A10Fusion speed - is the 7G clocked faster than the 6G?
2. RAM - does the 7G have more RAM?
3. Longevity - will the 7G get an additional one or two more iPadOS updates?
Other less important items would be (for me) ...
1. TouchID - does the 7G have the 2nd generation TouchID (not a big deal for me)?
2. Bluetooth - does the 7G have BT5?
3. Wifi - does the 7G have faster wifi?
I regret not jumping on the Xfinity deal for the 128GB iPad 6 for $120.

Just get the iPad 6...you'll have a better choice of cases from the get go.
3. The iPad 7G is almost identical to the 6G and both will age out at the same time. Plenty of people in these threads are using iPad 2 and Air 2, so I'm not sure I see the concern.
Yup, and they need to keep at least a 50% margin of profit on it, like any other single product they sell...A10 is four years old and is developing and production costs is totally recouped.Man Apple seems to hate the A11 and I guess putting an A12 on it was going to be getting too close to the iPad Air.
I hope it has 3GB. Fingers crossed.
It won't. iPad Air 3 only has 3GB. That would be good enough for the entry level iPad.I'm hoping for 4GB of Ram. If not, I'll hold out for the next revision of the iPad Pro.
Agreed. I’ll wait to see if the iPad Pro gets upgraded in a month. Edit: I’m still on a mini 2 which is massively slow loading apps. I am hoping the pro 11” will get the A13 cpu next month."A10 Fusion chip", haha. Barely an upgrade from the 1,5 year old 6th gen iPad at all. Same chip, same format (but a hair bigger screen), still 1 gen pencil, same price. If the price was good 1,5 year ago it's not today anymore. No new iPad for me this year either...
