The 10.2-inch
iPad is similar to the sixth-generation 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!---->, with the same A10 Fusion chip and
Apple Pencil support, but it has a larger display and a
Smart Connector that enables support for Apple's full-sized
Smart Keyboard. Pricing continues to start at $329 in the United States.
Given the minor refresh, the 10.2-inch <!---->iPad<!----> has few hardware changes over the 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!----> beyond the larger display, addition of a <!---->Smart Connector<!---->, and an extra GB of RAM. Repairability remains low due to strong adhesives and a soldered Lightning connector, although display repairs remain feasible.
