<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>When it comes to dedicated tablet devices, there's the iPad and there's everything else. The performance, features, and app ecosystem of Apple's iPad line make it the tablet to own.

That's it. That's the update.</p><h2>A12 versus A10</h2>
<p>Last year, Apple updated the iPad with a slightly bigger 10.2-inch display (up from 9.7), making the bezels slimmer. It also added the smart connector to work with the Smart Keyboard. Those were welcome upgrades, though the System-on-Chip (SoC) inside didn't change at all—it remained the A10—and Apple didn't really make any other improvements.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3575865/ipad-8th-generation-review.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
