If you're someone who consumes a lot of audio or video content, the 4 speakers from the iPad Pro just sounds fuller because the audio is coming from both sides. IPad 6 only has speakers on the bottom side while the iPad Pro has speakers at the top and bottom. It's slightly slower compared to iPad Pro when unlocking but it's not sluggish by any means. IPad 6 uses the 1st generation TouchID technology. The screen brightness is adequate for drawing outdoors. You can even see the details of small icons inside the icon folders. The IPS display uses 2,048 × 1,536 resolution which makes everything look sharp. If the screen is reflective, the reflection can block off what you see. Having a non-reflective screen when drawing outdoors makes it much more enjoyable experience. But the downside of the matte screen protector is it affects the sharpness slightly, which to me is a minor compromise. It feels real good drawing on a matte surface.

Having a screen protector on removes the reflection and also provides a much nicer tactile drawing experience when using Apple Pencil on it. I've already applied a matte screen protector on mine. Colours on IPS panels more pleasing to me. The screen is still an IPS panel which I prefer over the unnaturally over-saturated look of OLEDs. It's also similar to the iPad 5 (2017) so all the previous cases can still be used. Design and build qualityĭesign and build quality of the iPad 6 is excellent. And remember to add another US $99 because Apple Pencil is sold separately. With the new iPad Pros from 2017, the price difference is even more significant. For example, the iPad 32GB is priced at US $329 while the refurbished iPad Pro 9.7 (2015) 32GB is $469. The main thing to note is, iPad Pros, even refurbished ones, are still significantly more expensive compared to iPad 6. There are so many price tiers for the various iPads and iPad Pros. Wifi+cellular models usually cost $100 or more.

iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) 512GB - $1149 new / $979 refurbishedĪll the iPad Pros listed above are wifi models.

Let's take a look at the pricing of various iPads with Apple Pencil support: For those without a big budget, it's now worth taking another look at the iPad. Having Apple Pencil support in the iPad 6 is exciting for artists and designers because this iPad is more affordable than the iPad Pro. If you're thinking of upgrading, ask yourself if you need the Apple Pencil support. The performance difference between the previous A9 processor and the new A10 is not going to be significant. If you're not going to use the Apple Pencil, maybe you can find earlier models and see if they are selling at cheaper prices. The main selling point of this iPad is the Apple Pencil support.

This review is for artists and designers who want to know if this new iPad can fit in their workflow, and if it's any good when compared to the iPad Pro. After this, I'm going to sell the iPad away, at a loss again, since I already have the iPad Pro. I bought the iPad with money from Patreon to make some reviews. So here we have it, the 6th generation iPad that was released in March 2018.īefore I go on, I've to thank my patrons on Patreon for making this review possible. It was inevitable that Apple would release a normal iPad, an iPad non-Pro, with Apple Pencil support eventually.
