I was wondering if this 2025 iPad was worth purchasing as there’s been a lot of criticism. I have to say it’s the best thing outside my MacBook with touchscreen that I’ve bought all year. Works beautifully with Procreate and my Apple Pencil Gen 1. The main criticisms have been the pencil makes a tapping noise on this screen, but it doesn’t. Also the 2nd criticism has been the non-reflective screen but TBH I haven’t noticed it. The tablet colour is more metallic than plastic-y yellow; pictures don’t do its loveliness justice.One of the best things is that it doesn’t have a Home button, so when you set up passkeys for unlocking it and using the wallet, they work first time and with a very light touch, almost a hover. A doddle to set up as well, transferred my old iPad over without hassle. Instantly connects to WiFi.Worth every penny & fantastic for Procreate & Scrivener – it’s great to finally have an Apple device that came out this year. I LOVE my A16. Highly recommend.

I bought this iPad after having a glacially slow iPad 2 since release, and it was a much needed upgrade. The screen is vibrant and accurate (same with all Apple products), the device itself is fast, and battery life is insanely good – I’ve been non-stop using it for Procreate/Procreate Dreams/Scrivener and it lasts a full day. If it’s not being used, I got around 4 days with no charging and it was still at 90%. Works great with the generation 1 Apple pencil, and connected to my third party bluetooth keyboard with no issue.Unfortunately, though, I’ve given this 4 stars, not 5, due to Apple’s complete lack of support. The second I turned it on, I noticed it had a dead pixel. The iPad was purchased from thinkassemble.co.uk, not a third party seller on thinkassemble.co.uk, and both my pencil and iPad are showing as new and genuine in my Apple account, with the offer to upgrade my Apple Care to cover accidental damage. However, Apple have said that because I bought it on thinkassemble.co.uk, they do not offer any support or warranty, but thinkassemble.co.uk won’t offer any support either, and will instead direct you to the Apple-provided support that they conveniently don’t offer.Overall, one dead pixel isn’t a deal breaker for me, so I didn’t send it back. I love my iPad and Apple Pencil, especially at the price point (once upon a time, Apple products were considered comically expensive, but now they’re far more affordable, especially when they go on sale) – I just don’t love how disgusting Apple’s customer support is. I’ve been using Apple products for well over a decade, but I wouldn’t trust them to offer support anymore (even though I am positive they legally have to offer support on a defective product).All in all, fabulous device, terrible customer support (not thinkassemble.co.uk’s fault), and great price.

Great iPad that will fit most people’s needs. Been using it as a mini laptop as the new IOS updates supports resizing and multiple windows with apps at once, paired with keyboard and mouse and the iPad becomes a budget Mac. If you need a iPad to browse, stream videos and do light work it is more than capable, screen quality is fantastic and the speakers are great for video content.The only cons I’ve found is speakers aren’t ideal for music but fine for watching videos. Apple claim an ‘All Day Battery Life’ however I found the battery to be passable but not great, will last a good few hours of use if taken out but if working longer sessions you’ll need to plug in, especially if you like to screens on full or close to peak brightness. Overall it’s Apples best base iPad yet despite it lacking pro features of the Air and Pro models. At £329 it’s one of techs best deals, even better if you can get it for less.

This iPad is simply fantastic and has become my absolute must-have gadget. I genuinely use it all the time, every single day, for my hobbies.It’s the perfect size—large enough for watching movies or reading documents, but still light and thin enough to toss in my bag and take everywhere. The screen is clear, making everything from streaming shows to browsing photos look vibrant and sharp.The performance is amazing; it’s incredibly fast and instantly responsive no matter what I’m doing. Plus, the battery life is outstanding. If you’re looking for one device that seamlessly fits into your daily routine and handles everything you throw at it with ease and style, this is the one to get. It’s worth every penny.

Buy a case
