The new iPad 8 has taken its place among the best value tablets in the market today with features worth taking a look.
Apple released the new iPad 8 during its September "Time Flies" event and since that time, the device has grown in popularity. Many consider Apple's iPad 8 one of the best value tablets in the market today and for good reason.
In terms of design, Apple's new iPad 8 is similar to its 7th-generation model in thickness, weight, and feel. The color options are also basically the same, though the price is cheaper at $329, which may be the reason why it is considered one of the best value tablets in the market at the moment.
Those who recently bought Apple's new iPad 8 say they love how the 8th-generation iPad performed, which means its upgrade to the A12 Bionic chip really made a difference. Judging by its performance alone, you would not be surprised if the iPad 8 is regarded by many as among the best value tablets in the market today. The chip that the iPad 8 uses is the same one that powers the 3rd-generation iPad Air, as well as the 5th-generation iPad Mini and both iPhone XR and XS.
The A12 Bionic chip that powers the iPad 8 allows apps to load up a bit faster. While the iPad 8 may not perform on-par with its Pro counterpart, the $329 price point makes all the difference, which is why it is viewed by many Apple fans as one of the best value tablets in the market at present. Games played on iPad 8 are buttery smooth, though users should not expect it to have the same performance as that of the iPad Pro because of the lack of ProMotion.
Apple's new iPad 8 features a 10.2 inches retina display, much like those on the iPad 7. It has a 1620 x 2160 resolution with 264 PPI, roughly the same pixel density as that found on the 11 inches iPad Pro. The display is almost as sharp as that of an iPad Pro, which is among the reasons why most Apple fans regard the iPad 8 as among the best value tablets in the market today. While its display may not be as smooth compared to the iPad Pro, it is a perfect companion for everyday content creation and consumption.
The Apple Pencil is notably more responsive on Apple's new iPad 8 compared to past models. You will not feel that slight delay commonly noticed on past iPad models. This feature is also one of the reasons why the new iPad 8 is considered among the best value tablets in the market today. You also get the same smoothness when using Scribble and there is more precision when writing or drawing.
There are many more features worth checking out in Apple's new iPad 8. While it was not meant to be a huge update, its $329 price point makes it easily among the best value tablets in the market at the moment. With a much-improved performance, Apple Pencil functionality, and many more, it is perhaps among those devices that you should have.
