Since Steve Jobs introduced the iPad in 2010, the tablet market has never been the same. It's so much more than a bigger iPhone; it's a portable workstation, a creative drawing tablet, and a fantastic way to view your favorite media. Thanks to iPadOS 17 -- and soon, iPadOS 18 -- the iPad helps you get anything you want done. Whether you're a Pro power-user or an iPad mini maven, there's never been a better time to get an iPad. iMore has all the advice you need to get the most out of Apple's tablet.
The current lineup
The iPad lineup is deep and wide, including Pro models with extra features, thin and powerful Air models, minis, and more. Here's the roster:
iPad Pro M2
iPad Pro (2022, M2) More power, thanks to the M2 chip. The same fantastic tablet
iPad Air 5
iPad Air 5 Power and performance without the "pro" price tag
iPad (2022)
10.9-inch iPad (2022) A gorgeous new screen and refreshed design for a mid-range marvel
How to troubleshoot iPad problems
iPad is an amazing computer, managing to be powerful, portable, and accessible all at the same time. If it's working. If it's giving you problems — if it's sluggish or stuck, won't power off or power back on, if the battery is draining fast or not charging properly — then it's a worthless hunk of metal and glass. Your first instinct might be to call Apple Support or visit the Genius Bar, but that all takes time. If you just want to get everything working again, here are some things you can try on your own right now!
