Which Can Be the Best iPad For Kids?

When we talk about the iPads, we usually draw a picture of kids holding a wider and longer device with a screen in their hands. That is due to the fact that iPads have their appeal for the kids. This Apple device can not only help the kids in their academics but it can be their best source of entertainment. The matter of fact is that an iPad can offer the best gameplay of certain games.

Is it important to get an iPad for kids?

There has been a lot of debate over the amount of screen time the children should be allowed. Good parents can claim that their kids have not been exposed to screens before the age of 10 but it is the world in which technology has dominated quite rapidly. And so, restricting kids from a screen interaction can be an unwise decision to make. In this scenario, it is important to make sure that children’s interaction with the screens is ‘safe’ and, somehow, limited. That’s where you can trust an iPad because it gives your children an access to the apps which are safe for the younger ages.

But then, it is quite important to make sure that you are not using iPad apps to babysit your kids. That’s the reason you need to strictly follow the screen time concept.

With these major prerequisites fulfilled, now you may wonder why you need to get an iPad when there are plenty of other tablets available in the market. A few reasons are worth mentioning in this regard.

• The app store has great apps which are designed for kids
• You can attach a number of accessories with the iPad
• Apple’s iOS is more stable than other operating systems that are run on other tablets

Now, we are going to talk about the iPads which you can have for your kids.

IPad Mini 2019

While it has been named iPad Mini due to its small size, it is quite high performing iPad that you can have for your kids. This iPad is powered by an A12 Bionic processor. The 7.9-inch display of this iPad is not very small for your kids. It is enough of the screen size to allow your kids to read books, play games, and watch YouTube videos.

This iPad comes with a screen resolution of 2048x1536 pixels with a pixel density of 326ppi. With its small size, it is quite lighter in weight. It can be easily placed in the backpacks of your kids.

The entry level Wi-Fi model of this iPad with an internal storage of 64GB is available at a price of $399.

IPad Air

If you are not interested in the iPad Mini due to its smaller screen, you can opt for an iPad Air which has a larger, 10.2 inches, screen. This iPad comes with the screen resolution of 2224x1688 (264ppi). This iPad can be turned into a sketchbook with the help of Apple Pencil.

The processing capability of this iPad is powered by A12 bionic processor which is one of the best processing chips being used by Apple. The storage you can go for is up to 256GB which is quite decent. Moreover, you can turn this iPad into a mini laptop with the help of Smart Connector.

The basic version of this iPad with 64GB of storage is available at a price of $479. You can buy 256GB model at $629. If you want the cellular model, you are going to have to add further $120.

IPad 10.2

Now this is the budget iPad which you can purchase for your kids. And while it is a budget iPad at a price of $329 for 32GB model and $429 for 128GB variant, its performance not underrated. However, the A10 processor is certainly not to be placed in the category of faster A12 processors. Still, the processing power is enough to power up the most of the apps and run them smoothly.

This iPad comes with a screen size of 10.2 inches. This is exactly the same screen size as that of iPad Air. All in all, your children are not going to notice that are running the cheapest iPad.

A Brief Review About iPad 10.2in (2019)

Apple’s new devices do not seem to be very affordable due to the fact that these devices are equipped with the premium features and specs. In this scenario, many people wonder if there could be any way to have an experience of the Apple’s ecosystem. IPads have been quite considerable in this regard because their entry-level models let the users experience the ecosystem we are talking about. And many people have had complains about these entry-level iPads in the past.

Good news is that the new Apple iPad 10.2in (2019) tends to give a nice experience of the Apple’s ecosystem. In this article, we are going to share a short review of Apple iPad 10.2in (2019).

This iPad comes with a boost in the screen size as compared to last year’s iPad 9.7in. Another change that iPad 10.2in has to offer is its support to Smart Connector, which wasn’t supported by iPad 9.7in. It has the same A10 processor which was present in the last year’s iPad. Due to its increased size, it is a bit heavier as compared to iPad 9.7in. Both of these models are available with internal storage options of 32GB and 128GB. And the battery life of both models is 10 hours.

While you may start seeing no reason to upgrade to this iPad if you already have iPad 9.7in, there are a few things that may entice you to go for this upgrade. For instance, it is available at a low price of $329, it offers an extra viewing room, and it supports Smart Connector. These features make this iPad the best entry-level Apple device you can have.

Wider horizons

The most obvious difference between iPad 10.2in and iPad 9.7in is the screen size. IPad 10.2in comes with the screen size of 6.8x9.8 inches. On the other hand, the last year’s iPad had the screen size of 6.6x9.4 inches. The current iPad model is quite similar to iPad Air. The only difference between iPad 10.2in and iPad Air is that the iPad Air is thinner.

With increased size, the current model offers a boost in the size of display. The un-laminated LED display with a screen resolution of 2160x1620 pixels is surely attractive. The last year’s iPad was available with the screen resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. However, pixel density of both of the models is same, 264ppi.

On paper, this difference look tiny but you may have compared iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. They surely feel different from the perspective of size. That’s the feeling you get when you compare both models.

Smart Connector

With the availability of Smart Connector, this iPad can be connected with the iPad Air's Smart Keyboard. This Keyboard offers support to the iPad tilt position through its origami style. However, this tilt remains at a certain angle only.

Although the keyboard doesn’t offer much of the key travel, it’s is certainly enjoyable once you get used to it.

Performance

We normally discuss about the processor performance while talking about the performance of any device with a screen. But the case with iPad 10.2in is different. Since this iPad comes with the A10 processor (the same chip used in the last year’s model), there is nothing much to talk about in this regard. But with the bigger screen, you can do better graphical work on this iPad. And the best part is that its processor still supports smooth running of most of the apps.
