Then the last model with the biggest storage captivity is 1 terabyte starting at $1550 then the 12.9 inch starting at $1750!
Apple has worked hard to make this years iPads different from last year’s by changing the way they look. As like the iPhone X, it is slimmer and doesn’t have a home button and the display is almost the whole screen.
The new iPad also the new iPad has a new screen they call ’Liquid Retina’. The pixels are the same as the iPad from 2017 but it has a blacklight display and pixel masking and antialiasing as on the iPhone XR. The new iPads are both 5.9 mm thick and 6.1 mm on the 10.9 inch model and the 12.9 inch model having a 6.9 mm. The iPads come in two different colors, Silver and Space Grey. The iPads also have a magnet for the apple pen on the side of them.
The new iPad also doesn’t use the original lightning port they use on the iPhones but they use a USB-C connector where the lightning port used to be. Which means you can use the iPad more when you have it plugged in.
