Apple iPad 8 Gen (September 2020) Delightfully capable. Surprisingly affordable. The new iPad combines tremendous capability with unmatched ease of use and versatility. With the powerful A12 Bionic chip, support for Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, and the amazing new things you can do with iPadOS 14, now there’s even more to love about iPad. Kick some serious tasks. With iPad, getting work done is all hustle and no hassle. Edit a document while researching something on the web and making a FaceTime call to a colleague at the same time. Attach a full‑size Smart Keyboard for comfortable typing. And for tasks that require more precision, support for a trackpad or mouse complements the familiar Multi‑Touch experience of iPad. Jot ’til you drop. Paired with the power of iPadOS, Apple Pencil makes note‑taking with iPad a breeze. Do things like sign paperwork, mark up a document, or sketch out an idea. It feels as natural to use as a regular pencil, but with so much more capability. Learn your lesson the fun way. Let your curiosity run wild with iPad. The App Store is the best place to discover apps that let you get a leg up in geometry, learn a new language, and attend virtual classes. You can even use augmented reality to learn something exciting, like watching the history of spaceflight unfold in your living room or making characters from your favorite book literally leap off the page. Live your best extra life. It’s go time for gaming. The A12 Bionic chip delivers an amazing performance boost, so games are immersive, fluid, and incredibly detailed. And you can pair an Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth, PlayStation DualShock controller, or MFi game controller with your iPad to create the ultimate portable game console. You can also try out Apple Arcade, with over 100 ad‑free games in one subscription. Draw something drawsome. iPad lets you express your creative ideas in so many ways. Whether you’re taking notes, designing a logo, or just sketching up a storm, Apple Pencil is the perfect tool to bring your vision to life. It’s designed to feel intuitive and let you draw with pixel‑perfect precision. Shoot from the hip. Edit with your finger. No matter how you capture your photos and videos — with the 8MP back camera or the FaceTime HD camera on iPad, with an iPhone, or with a digital camera — you’ll love editing them on the large, immersive screen of your iPad. Take advantage of the machine learning capabilities to enhance your photos. Once you’ve got your perfect shot, share it to your social feeds or send it to friends with a tap. Your home theater. Home optional. Everything you watch on iPad looks and sounds awesome, thanks to the 10.2‑inch Retina display and stereo system. With the Apple TV app, you’ll have access to popular streaming services, must‑watch shows, and blockbuster movies. And when you buy a new iPad, it includes a year of Apple TV+, our streaming service featuring original shows and movies from the world’s best storytellers. Now all you have to do is remember the popcorn. Take your to-do list to go. With a thin and light design and fast Wi‑Fi and Gigabit‑class LTE, iPad is designed to go where your life goes. So you can browse the web, download books, and more, wherever you are. And with up to 10 hours of battery life, you can do it all on a single charge. It does pretty much everything but carry itself. iPadOS does even more. iPadOS delivers a distinct experience that enhances the unique capabilities of iPad. New note‑taking features make handwriting as powerful as typed text, shape recognition makes your drawings more precise, and now you can handwrite in any text field with Scribble. Apps for everything. There are over a million apps on the App Store specifically designed for the large display and power of iPad. Make a beat, get a workout in, read the news, or join a battle royale with friends. Whatever you’re interested in, you’ll find an app for it. Privacy built in. Like every Apple product, iPad was designed with your privacy and security in mind. It’s not always easy. But that’s the kind of innovation we believe in. Designed for everyone. Technology is most powerful when everyone can use it. That’s why iPad comes with accessibility features that support vision, hearing, mobility, and learning needs. Like sign language prominence in FaceTime, which can detect when a participant is using sign language and make the person prominent in a Group FaceTime call.
