![]() To charge it, you'll generally need to take the end off and plug it into the iPad's Lightning port for a time, which is clumsy to say the least. However, we should note that the Apple Pencil first gen has always been a little bit of a pain. Both are easily forgiven, because it works so well. We're also not totally keen on the glossy finish, given how greasy and slippery it can get from your fingers, but that's a minor thing. Really, the only knock against the Apple Pencil in terms of drawing ability is that it doesn't have any controls on the device (the 2nd Gen version adds a single virtual button). The Apple Pencil is a pro-quality drawing tool, detecting tilt and pressure with precision, and Apple says that the latency is now 9ms – though you'll actually see up to 16ms because it's a 60Hz screen. The first-gen Apple Pencil is supported here, which means you've got really accurate and responsive drawing potential. Apple iPad 10.2-inch (9th Gen) review: Apple Pencil The only real downside of the screen compared to the more expensive models is that it's not fully laminated and doesn't have as much anti-reflection design put into it, so you might find it getting lost more on bright days. Obviously, anyone doing something with specific colour concerns may want to turn this off, but in general use – while reading, writing, playing, making music, whatever – it makes using the screen so much more pleasant, avoiding the blue tint computers screens are known for. This is Apple's technology that adjusts the colour balance of the screen to match the ambient lighting in the room, so that white on the screen looks the same to your eyes as a piece of white paper would in the room. It doesn't support the DCI-P3 colour gamut, unlike all the other iPads, but we think you can live without that if budget is your main concern – it doesn't stop the colours from being punchy, rich and accurate.Īs mentioned, you now have True Tone support in this model for the first time. It's a 2160x1620 IPS panel, with a brightness of 500 nits, and excellent viewing angles.Īt 260 pixels per inch, it's plenty sharp and detailed – and it's the same sharpness as the iPad Air (2020) or iPad Pros anyway, so you wouldn't even improve in that regard if you spent more (expect for the iPad mini, which is over 300ppi). The 10.2-inch screen here hasn't changed its quality at all from the previous version, but that's no issue as far as we're concerned.
