​did you identify your ipad?

Whether you’re looking to buy some iPad accessories or sell your iPad online so you can purchase a new one for business or pleasure, ​I hope this article has helped you figure out which iPad you own. I’ll be sure to add to it as Apple releases new versions of the iPad!

Best ipads 2021: which ipad should you buy?

The iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) is a very big, very powerful, and very expensive tablet. That’s true of all the 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, but on the power front this one takes things to a whole new level, swapping out a mobile chipset for the Apple M1, which is found in top-end MacBooks and iMacs.

This means it’s a tremendously high-powered device, ideal for demanding tasks like video editing, graphic design, and top-tier games.

On top of that, the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) also has a superb 2048 x 2732 Mini LED screen. This is the first iPad to use that display technology, and it allows for a seriously bright screen with great contrast. This impressed us greatly in our review.

Elsewhere you get 10 hours of battery life, a typically premium aluminum shell, up to 2TB of storage, and support for the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2, allowing you to take this beyond a mere productivity device.

The iPad 10.2 (2021) is Apple’s basic tablet for 2021, and arguably also the best value iPad of the year. It’s not a huge upgrade on the previous model, but the new 12MP ultra-wide selfie camera makes it much better for video calls, while the True Tone display makes it more pleasant to use in a variety of environments, with the screen automatically adjusting based on the ambient light. This especially makes the iPad 10.2 (2021) a joy to use outdoors.

We find the iPad Air 4 (2020) better for sketching and audio, but for all the tablet basics, the iPad 10.2 (2021) does an admirable job.

The iPad Pro 11 (2021) is a powerful, expensive slate, and a great choice for anyone who wants the best specs possible in a relatively compact and portable size. That said, it lacks the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021)’s Mini LED screen, making it a significant step down from that slate.

That disappointment and our ongoing issues with Apple’s restrictive iPad software aside though, the iPad Pro 11 (2021) is an excellent tablet, with a big, sharp, smooth screen, and an enormous amount of power, thanks to its desktop-class M1 chipset.

It also has around 10 hours of battery life, which is fairly typical for Apple tablets but good nonetheless, and it comes with up to 2TB of storage – a mammoth amount that should be more than enough for almost anyone.

With a sleek, stylish design too plus a selection of optional accessories, such as the Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard, this is a tablet that should suit almost anyone – though it’s likely to be overkill for many.

Ipad models: how to find ipad model numbers

Perhaps you’ve been wondering, «How do I find out what iPad I have?» The easiest way to begin your search for which kind of iPad you own is to find your device’s model number. The first method doesn’t even require that you turn on your iPad; all you need to do is look on the back of your device.

You’ll see iPad engraved there, and underneath you’ll see smaller print, including the capital letter ‘A’, followed by a series of numbers. That’s your model number. If you have your device in a case and don’t want to take it out or would rather not have to get out a magnifying glass to see the tiny print, you can use this method for iPad serial number lookup:

1. Open the Settings app.

   

2. Tap General.

   

3. Tap About.

   

4. In the Model Number section, you may see alonger number that ends with «A». This is your iPad’s SKU number. To view your model number, tap once on this section and you’ll get a shorter number that begins with «A».

   

Now that you have your model number, it’s time to use that information to learn how to tell what iPad you have.
