The 10th-generation Apple iPad, the latest model of Apple’s entry-level tablet, is highlighted in our list of the best iPads as the top mid-range iPad because of its modern design, the switch to a USB-C port, and the performance provided by Apple’s A14 chip. Its 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display is simply gorgeous even under sunlight, and it comes with Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint recognition technology to prevent other people from accessing the tablet.
