Welcome the newest addition to the Apple lineup. The new Apple iPad with WiFi and cellular is a portable yet powerful tablet thanks to the A13 Bionic chip with Neural Engine.

Use multiple apps at the same time so you can look at a project while emailing a coworker or text your best friend while catching up on a suspenseful TV show. Up to 20% faster GPU means great graphics performance, a feature that mobile gamers will love. The gaming experience is instantly more immersive for enhanced gameplay. The Neural Engine powers machine-learning features like Live Text, an iPadOS 15 feature that lets you extract text from images or tap a phone number on a picture to make a call. This Apple iPad is also compatible with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard (sold separately) for enhanced gaming, working and designing.

Designed for Stunning Images

With a 10.2" Retina display, you can stream content or work on projects with vibrant colors and crisp detail. The Retina display also has True Tone, which can detect the ambient lighting around you and automatically adjust the display for comfortable viewing. In addition to producing great images, this iPad has high-quality front and back cameras to help you create stunning images of your own: the 12MP front camera is a huge jump in photo quality and also features Center Stage, a smart technology that can detect you in the frame of a video and automatically pan to keep you centered. The 8MP back camera lets you scan documents, perfect for workers on the go.
