Significant upgrades over the previous generation include the new Apple M1 processor, the addition of 5G support in cellular models, support for Thunderbolt 3 and USB4, and for the 12.9-inch model, a new mini LED Liquid Retina XDR display. [7] The iPad’s general availability was temporarily constrained by an ongoing chip shortage of 2020 and 2021. In spite of minor differences in weight and thickness due to hardware upgrades, the tablet is virtually identical to its predecessor. The fifth generation iPad Pro uses an Apple M1 SoC, which is the first iPad to utilize an M-series processor (found on the first Apple silicon Mac desktops and notebooks released in the late 2020) rather than an A-series processor.
The fifth generation iPad Pro debuted support of Thunderbolt 3 and USB4 with its USB-C port. The 12.9-inch model, in contrast, boasts a mini LED HDR display called the Liquid Retina XDR display built in with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, full-screen brightness of 1,000 nits and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits (HDR).
[16] Both models support True Tone, ProMotion, 120 Hz variable refresh rate, and P3 wide color gamut. In addition to the second generation Apple Pencil, the Smart Keyboard Folio, and the Magic Keyboard, the fifth-generation iPad Pro supports third-party external accessories such as game controllers (Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox controllers).
Some reviewers said that its overboosted processor was limited by iPadOS and the lack of professional macOS applications,[21][22] while others criticized the placement of its camera system. [23] The Verge criticized the lack of multiuser support like the Mac but praised its Mini-LED screen and cameras.
iPad (5th generation)
Matt Kapko of CIO wrote that Apple’s introductory pricing of $329 in the United States for the iPad, a $70 price reduction vs the iPad Air 2, appeared to be designed to fend off the encroachment of Google’s Chromebook laptops in the education sector and to foster wider adoption in customer-facing terminals. Kapko also wrote that the device is designed to appeal to businesses that require inexpensive tablets for undemanding use, including as kiosks, checkout terminals, and hospitality screens. The fifth generation iPad shares most design elements with the iPad Air, with a 9.7-inch (25 cm) screen,[2] 7.5 mm (0.30 in) thickness,[17][7] and differences such as the lack of the physical mute switch, smaller microphone holes and only a single row of speaker holes, and storage.
[13] Despite its use of the Apple A9 processor and accompanying M9 motion co-processor, introduced with the iPhone 6S in 2015, the iPad does not feature support for always-on “Hey Siri” voice input, a feature advertised as being made possible by low-power processing in the then-new chips.
At the time of its original release, the iPad shipped with iOS 10, a version of Apple’s mobile operating system. Touch ID and Apple Pay let the user purchase items from websites or from within apps.
It was significantly praised for performance, with reviewers asserting that the model was noticeably faster than older iPad models, and also received positive reviews for its price and battery life. Its introductory price in the United States was the lowest ever for an iPad, with the media noting that the lower price might be an effort to encourage wider adoption of the tablet in the education sector, as well as for businesses needing inexpensive tablets for undemanding uses.
Dieter Bohn of The Verge wrote that “it is a thin, fast tablet”, and praised the screen for being “very good”, despite not having “the fancy True Tone display that the iPad Pro does, nor does it have some of the things that made the screen on the iPad Air 2 so nice: lamination and anti-reflectivity”. Segan also praised performance compared to the prior iPad models, and also praised improved Wi-Fi performance, writing that it is “quite impressive” with “double the Wi-Fi speeds on the new iPad than I did on the Air 2”. [28] Jeff Benjamin of 9to5Mac wrote that “Sure, it lacks the gorgeous laminated, anti-reflective display of the iPad Air 2, and sure it’s not as svelte in either thickness or weight. But then it’s not supposed to be exciting, […] Apple’s latest tablet is an iterative update designed to appeal to a specific subset of consumers”.
[30] Chris Velazco of Engadget praised battery life, describing it as “one of the best iPads we’ve tested”, but also criticized the lack of anti-reflection on the display, calling it “another cost-saving measure that I wish Apple had reconsidered”.
