iPad 2020: Release Date, Features and Price

It’s official, we have a new 8th generation iPad. Apple has already announced the news that incorporates its tablet focused on students and other audiences not as demanding as the ‘Air’ and ‘Pro’ ranges. In fact this is the cheapest iPad in the company. Below we will tell you all the news that this new generation of tablet represents.

The main novelties of the iPad 8

The most surprising thing about this eighth-generation iPad is the processor leap that it makes by incorporating an A12 Bionic , the same as the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR. This is 40% faster than the previous one and also incorporates a neural motor that makes it even more powerful. In terms of design we do not find any novelty, since it houses the classic aesthetics of Apple tablets while maintaining the edges and the Home button with Touch ID.

We again find the Smart Connector that makes it compatible with the Smart Keyboard, although not with the Magic Keyboard with trackpad that Apple announced a few months ago. Compatibility with the Apple Pencil 1 is also maintained , so that it can continue to be an ideal instrument for students who take notes by hand or those who like to draw and perform other actions with the stylus.

In storage , the fact of having capacities of 32 GB and 128 GB stands out. It is true that it is a very inexpensive device and therefore increasing the capacity to 512 GB or more would be somewhat illogical, but the truth is that 256 GB could have been a good top capacity, just as 32 GB can be short.

The base price is 379 euros in its 32 GB WiFi version, while the WiFi + Cellular version of this capacity rises to 519 euros. It can be reserved today at the Apple Store online and shipments will begin to occur next Friday, in addition to being able to buy in physical stores from that moment.

No notable novelty in this team beyond the processor, although no changes were rumored nor could any outstanding news be expected. It is an iPad focused on the most basic public and surely it will continue to achieve the same success as its predecessors.
