Are you looking for the difference between the iPad 2019 and iPad 2020 ? Then look no further. We have taken a close look at both models for you. We have described our findings below, so that you will hopefully have no questions about the difference between the two iPads afterwards.

Little difference

At first glance, nothing seems to have changed between the iPad 2019 and iPad 2020. As soon as you delve deeper, there are some differences to be found, of which only one is major. The first difference that you can hardly notice yourself is the weight. The iPad 2020 is a few grams heavier with both the 4g and wifi variants. This difference is so small that you have to weigh it first, because you won't notice anything in your hands. The increase in weight is probably because the iPad 2020 is made of 100% recycled aluminum. We at leapp are very enthusiastic about this and see this as a good step towards a more sustainable climate.

Now on to the big difference between the two models, namely the processor. The iPad 2020 is equipped with an A12 chip, while the iPad 2019 still has an A10 chip. This difference is mainly the reason why you will choose the newer model. With the A12 chip you get a much faster iPad, which makes games look better and the user experience will feel very smooth. You also get longer updates with the iPad 2020 than with the iPad 2019.

Another difference is the addition of Neural Engine. Neural Engine has been around for a while, but is now available for the standard iPad range for the first time. Neural Engine helps with performing augmented reality tasks. And provides better functionality with photos. The last difference can be found in the box. There is now a better charger with your iPad so that you have direct access to fast charging and no longer have to buy accessories for this.

Conclusion

In short, there are few differences to be found between the iPad 2019 and 2020. The main reason why you will take the iPad 2020 is for the faster processor. For the rest, both iPads are almost identical to each other. You do not get camera or display upgrades, you buy the iPad 2020 purely for the extra bit of speed and the longer lifespan.
