We’ll compare the different version of the Apple iPad, to determine which one’s worth it
The iPad has been the most sought-after tablet since the first generation of Apple iPad was launched back in 2010. For a decade, Apple has been designing and rolling out new iterations of their flagship tablet, constantly upgrading the aesthetics and software of the product. The current crop of iPad’s provides a little bit of everything one would want from a smart tablet. Given that there are five versions out there, it can be a tad bit laborious to choose the right one for you. We have Tabularized(pun intended :)) the specs of all current iPad versions. We hope this would give you a better idea

Verdict
If you’re looking for a slick, powerful, relatively inexpensive tablet, consider purchasing the iPad Mini, it does everything the more expensive versions do and for a much cheaper price. But features like liquid retina display and A14, M1 chips(these provide better CPU performance) are not available for the mini.
