iPad

The iPad is Apple's line of tablet computers, first introduced in April 2010. The iPad is the best-selling tablet globally with approximately 40% of the tablet market. Apple sells four lines: iPad (10th gen, from $349), iPad mini (7th gen, from $499), iPad Air (M2, from $599), and iPad Pro (M4, from $999). All models run iPadOS 17, which supports multitasking, desktop-class apps, Apple Pencil, and Magic Keyboard accessories. The M4-powered iPad Pro features a tandem OLED display, thin 5.1mm chassis (the thinnest Apple product ever), and desktop-class performance that rivals MacBook Pro for many tasks. iPad is the dominant tablet in education (K-12), creative work (digital art, music production), and business. Apple sells approximately 50 million iPads annually. Key differentiators include the A/M chip series (industry-best tablet performance), the Apple Pencil ecosystem for creative work, and tightly integrated iCloud and iOS ecosystem.
