The USB-C connection means you also won't have to worry about the old Lightning connector. This iPad will last you years and this deal represents a great investment if you need a capable everyday tablet.
Lance Ulanoff called it "a worthy addition to our best tablets list" in his iPad 10.9 (2022) review, where he also awarded it 4.5 stars out of five. If you're already an owner of an iPhone or a Mac, then getting an iPad is a bit of a no-brainer because it'll fit right into your existing ecosystem.
The 10.9-inch display is big enough to make it significantly larger than any smartphone and therefore useful for watching films and playing games that require more screen real estate. The front and back cameras are also reasonable but unlikely to provide better results than the latest smartphones.
If you're planning on using this tablet for journeys, then the all-day battery life will be a dream come true. it is possible to get a 5G network connection on this tablet but that comes at an additional price.
