ipad 5th gen or 6th gen - difference?

HI all,


a couple of (well known) retailers in Australia are advertising the basic, current ipad with two options - 5th gen or 6th generation.

I can't find any mention of this on the apple site. Is it a con?!!

No, it's not a con.

The 6th generation iPad (the latest) is the one that also support Apple Pencil like the iPad Pro.

Apple is not selling the 5th generation anymore. (6 replaces the 5)

iPad 5 has A9 chip

iPad 6 has A10 chip
