I am interested in knowing other people's opinion on the best value iPad in 2020.

Here are the options:

iPad 8

iPad Mini 3

iPad Air 4

iPad Pro 4 (11)

iPad Pro 2 (12.9)

“Value” is subjective - and will differ significantly according to the needs of the individual.


Do you need the processing power - and superior screen, sensor and camera array of the iPad Pro - or instead achieve your aims with the simplified and much lower specification entry-level iPad8? If instead you need a small form factor and can accommodate the much smaller screen, then the iPad mini is perhaps an appropriate choice.


If your needs are such that the iPad Pro is simply too expensive - and the iPad8 is inadequate for your needs - then the new fourth generation iPad Air is a very good choice. The Air4 combines an impressive CPU - but lacks the multi-speaker array, camera array and larger screens of the iPad Pro.


Different models of iPad fit different needs and budgets.

“Best Value” is very subjective as this can mean different things to different people.

No one here is going to tell you which iPad to purchase and which iPad is “best” for YOU!

You will to determine this for yourself.

You can compare all of Apple's current iPad models in this link below.

What do you want/think you want to be able to do with an iPad?

How much are you realistically willing to spend on an iPad?

These are some of things you need to ask before purchasing an Apple iPad.


Best of Luck to You!
