I was nervous bcus of the other reviews. 3rd gen is 3rd gen for 11 inches. It's brand new

Nice improvement over my older iPad

I love Apple products! This iPad easily syncs with my iPhone Pro and MacBook Pro, making it easy to learn. The display is beautiful and the camera is great! Very speedy processor, as well. Also, Sam’s Club’s price was $50 below everyone else!

Best iPad yet. No button interface changes take some getting used to but takes just a few days. Fast, beautiful display and long battery life. Couldn’t be happier.

I had a old IPad 10.3 that did not update and was not recognized by the new IPad. Luckily I had an old IPhone that it did recognize and starting up was not that bad. Thank you ICloud! This new IPad rocks!!!

There is nothing not to like about the new iPad. The screen and cameras are fine. The OS is the newest. Face recognition sign on works. It will automatically transfer programs and settings from your old iPad if you have one.

This is definitely the newest 2021 pro 11" version which actually is the 3rd generation. The 2021 pro 12.9" is the 5th gen, but the 12.9" has been around for 2 iterations longer than the 11", which is the reason for different generations.

M1 is a good addon for this iPad I hoped they improved the body a bit, you still need a case and film / glass protection. Thanks god they didn't put the new "XDR Display" it would raise the price with glooming problems and not as promised performance for HDR...

For what I use it for it is perfect. Being elderly it was becoming difficult to use my I-phone to watch videos, and read E-mails and messages, especially answer correspondence using the very small keyboard. Being much larger and very light is perfect for my use

I got this tablet for I heard that the M1 chip is coming to the iPad and let me tell you that, this iPad is really good! From the start, even something so simple like swiping you can tell that apple really did their job when it comes down to overall smoothness on this device. You dont get that jittery swipe feel that the old iPads had. When it comes to performance, video editing blew my mind as a 14 minute video exported in only 3 minutes. I downloaded some high end games to its power on high demanding games and it took them out like a champ, PUBG and Call of Duty ran so smooth so i highly recommend this as a gift for your kids that are into mobile gaming. Please note that the iPad has the M1 chip and is fairly new to mobile devices so a lot of optimization are still on their way with apps and updates are still in the making when it comes to overall stability on the device. I'm super happy this purchase and I cannot recommend it more. Good Buy!
