New iPad (2020) release date, price, and everything you need to know
Apple has announced a new entry-level iPad for 2020 at the ongoing Apple Event, which looks perfect for people who want an inexpensive and dependable slate but don't need top-end specs.
The new iPad (2020) inherits its name and size (with a 10.2-inch display) from its predecessor. With an A12 Bionic processor, along with the Neural Engine, Apple claims this is the fastest standard iPad yet. It supports the Apple Pencil, too.
It's the successor to the iPad 10.2 from 2019, sitting below the new iPad Air 4 and the iPad Pro 2020 in Apple's tablet lineup.
