The new "basic" iPad certainly becomes a more than interesting candidate even for the most demanding users: the Apple A13 Bionic chip that governs it is 20% more powerful than the A12 of the previous model, and that will be noticeable in all types of situations.
For example, in the section on photography and videoconferencing, which has undoubtedly been one of the focuses of the new model: the rear camera does not change, but the front camera does, which now has a 12-megapixel sensor. with autofocus and better performance in low light.
The ISP integrated in the SoC A13 is according to Apple responsible for the better behavior of both the rear and front cameras, but where Apple wanted to influence the latter was especially, and not only for the selfies .
In fact, that section paled before what proved to be the true protagonist of the use of that camera: videoconferences . In Apple they indicated how this new iPad is now compatible with Center Stage ("Centered Framing"), the feature of the iPad Pro that adjusts the framing in video conferences as we move so that we do not "get out" of the appropriate frame and our interlocutor always see us on screen.
There are of course other improvements in the hardware of this new device: the screen benefits from True Tone technology, and in the new iPad we can enjoy accessories such as external keyboards or the Apple Pencil 2 with which it is also compatible .
Ruling these new iPads will be iPadOS 15 , the new version of the operating system for Apple tablets. Thanks to this version we can enjoy new features such as widgets, new multitasking functions or the Quick Note feature, among others.
There are other unique changes: the Lightning port disappears from the iPad, which adopts the USB-C port for charging . The power adapter can supply 20 W.
