So, you've been thinking about which iPad is best for you? The Apple iPad has been around for quite a while now, but with all the models out there, you may still need some guidance. There are many different versions of the Apple iPad, including the iPad mini, iPad Pro models, and the iPad air. The 2018 iPad models will provide you with all the features you need to have an amazing interactive and portable experience. Apple has continued to change the game, providing upgraded models over the years with each new generation iPad. Here are the available Apple iPad models today, and their features to help you decide which iPad is best for you.

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the Pro model with the biggest screen size providing the perfect answer to the question, "Can an iPad replace a laptop?" When buying an iPad, this iPad may be a good choice for you if you’re wanting something like the MacBook Pro. This is one of the iPad Pro models that runs iOS 11, and it has huge storage options up to 512GB. One top of that, it has a front and rear facing camera as well. This tablet is bluetooth compatible with some of the best stylus pens for iPads, as well as the Smart Keyboard, which makes it a laptop replacement for many people with its large screen size. If you’re buying an iPad because you don’t own a computer already, you may want to go with this Pro model. It is more expensive, but could save you money in the long run on having to purchase two separate devices.

If you’re trying to decide which iPad is best for you, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro may be the best choice because this is the entry level Pro model with an upgrade. This Apple iPad has a bigger screen size and a better display than earlier generation iPad versions. This iPad has both front and rear facing cameras, ample storage space, and is made for professionals who are on the go. Just like the 12.9-inch iPad Pro model, this tablet is incredibly powerful, but it is also easier to take around. Many consider this 2018 iPad to be the best overall option out of all iPad Pro models on the market. When buying an iPad, you must consider your specific lifestyle. Will you be needing to carry your tablet around every day? Will you be using it in your lap or at a desk in conjunction with the Apple Pencil and one of the top iPad keyboards on the market? This may help you decide which iPad is best for you.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro gives you the lightweight feel of the iPad Air with the power of other Pro models at the same time. When deciding which iPad is best for you, the smallest of the iPad Pro models may be your best bet if you still want features such as the true tone screen and ample storage space while still giving you a very portable, lightweight, and more affordable tablet option.

If you’re buying an iPad and looking for an entry level option with an amazing price, look no further than the 2018 iPad. Apple came out with this simpler version model in 2018 to give customer’s an option that is more affordable than other Pro models on the market. When considering which iPad is best for you, maybe you don’t need all the bells and whistles that come with the iPad Pro. Maybe you just need an excellent tablet that is built well, has up to 128GB of storage, a 9.7-inch screen, and can run everything you need while still being easily portable. The Apple iPad is a great option for everything you need without being overly powerful or large. It may not compare to the iPad Pros, but it is a fraction of the price, and with any Apple product, you know you are still getting quality design and technology. The 2018 iPad is one of the best value iPads on the market today.

Another competitor for best value iPad is the iPad Air 2. If you’re trying to decide which iPad is best for you, this Apple iPad is a great choice because it has many of the features that the iPad Pros have, but for a much cheaper price. It is also much more lightweight because it is the iPad Air model. While the iPad Air 2 has an A8X processor as opposed to a faster A9X processor that the iPad Pro models boast, this tablet still has a 9.7-inch retina display, front and rear facing cameras, and up to 128GB of storage. You’ll save a few hundred dollars on this model over the competing Pro models, and it is a much more portable option weighing in at less than a pound. Is it worth it? You decide.

When deciding which iPad is best for you, the iPad mini 4 might be your choice if you are an avid traveler who needs to be able to carry your Apple iPad in your purse or in your hand constantly. The iPad mini 4, of course, has a smaller screen size than its competitors, and it is a tiny bit slower with an A8 processor. However, this device is still in the running as a solid tablet, with key features such as an 8mp rear facing camera, great resolution, up to 128GB of storage, and a very lightweight feel. This iPad is the absolute best option for portability if you are needing entertainment and simple functionality while traveling. This iPad will give you technology on the go for a cheaper price than some of its Pro-model competitors.

The six Apple iPad models on the market in 2018 are all excellent options depending on what key features are most important to your lifestyle. Performance, screen size, portability, and price all come into play when trying to decide which iPad is best for you. Go to your local Apple store today and test them out before committing! You will surely find the right fit and settle on a great option. You can’t go wrong with any of Apple's amazing and innovative products.
