 to have the newer square-edged design. It means it's more in keeping with the rest of the line-up. And frankly, it looks better. Now it feels like you're holding a quality modern iPad in your hand. These attractive new looks are bolstered by a rainbow of new colours, including blue, pink and yellow. Silver remains, for those who want something safer. This is the best that iPad has looked since its inception in 2010. The new model has a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, which looks fantastic – especially with the revamped front. And it's powered by an absolutely rapid A14 Bionic chip. Apple fans will remember it from the impressive iPhone 12 Pro. The Lightning charger (still remaining on the iPhone, but not for long) has finally been binned on the new iPad. Instead we have the increasingly common and much more versatile USB-C port, bringing the iPad in line with other Apple tablets. The camera system has been updated with an Ultra Wide 12-megapixel selfie shooter and a new 12-megapixel back camera. You're probably not using the iPad for proper photography anyway (save that for the iPhone). But it's fine for taking quick pics: think of a student snapping a presentation slide in a lecture. FaceTime quality is also good, for what it's worth. This time around, Apple has introduced a new Magic Keyboard Folio with a built-in trackpad. It lets you use the iPadOS software in a more productive MacBook-style way. Sadly you'll pay an extra $249/£249 for this luxury){kind=link}
