Retina Tablet with Apple Pencil Support & A10 Fusion Power
The 6th Generation Apple iPad (2018) represents a pivotal moment in the iPad lineage: it was the first non-Pro model to bridge the gap between a simple media tablet and a creative tool. By introducing Apple Pencil (1st Gen) support, it brought professional-grade functionality to a much more accessible price point.
This specific unit in "Like New" condition offers the premium tactile experience of aluminum and glass without the steep cost of current-generation hardware. In an era focused on sustainability and technical longevity, this iPad stands as a testament to Apple’s superior build quality and long-term software optimization.
High-Performance Architecture: A10 Fusion & M10 Coprocessor
At the core of this iPad is the A10 Fusion chip with 64‑bit architecture. Unlike many modern chips designed for short bursts of speed, the A10 was engineered for sustained thermal efficiency. This makes it an excellent choice for long video streaming sessions or intensive writing tasks without the device overheating.
The main processor is supported by the integrated M10 Motion Coprocessor. This dedicated silicon continuously handles data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometer, preserving battery life while ensuring pinpoint accuracy for:
- Augmented Reality (AR): Smoothly rendering virtual objects in your physical space.
- Multitasking: 2 GB of LPDDR4 RAM ensures that switching between apps remains "Apple-smooth" and responsive.
- Creative Precision: Sub-millisecond latency when using the Apple Pencil for digital sketching and note-taking.
9.7-inch Retina Display – Clarity Meets Utility
The high-resolution Retina Display (2048 x 1536 pixels at 264 ppi) delivers crisp text and vibrant colors, making it ideal for both productivity and entertainment.
- Active Digitizer: The specialized display layer enables pressure-sensitive input for a natural handwriting experience.
- Oleophobic Coating: A fingerprint-resistant layer keeps the screen clear even during heavy use.
- IPS Technology: Provides wide viewing angles, perfect for sharing content or watching videos with others.
Dual Camera System for Work & Play
Despite its slim profile, the iPad 6 offers a versatile camera setup for daily needs:
- 8 MP Main Camera: Featuring an $f/2.4$ aperture, five-element lens, and hybrid IR filter. Supports 1080p HD video and 120 fps Slow-mo.
- FaceTime HD Camera: Perfectly suited for Zoom meetings, Microsoft Teams, or high-quality personal video calls.
Security, Audio & Connectivity
The iPad 6 is one of the final models to retain the classic 3.5 mm headphone jack—a must-have for users who prefer lag-free, dongle-free audio.
- Touch ID: A secure fingerprint sensor integrated into the Home button for instant unlocking and Apple Pay.
- Wireless Connectivity: Dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac) with MIMO ensures stable internet speeds, while Bluetooth 4.2 provides a reliable link to keyboards and accessories.
- Precision Sensors: An integrated barometer for altitude tracking makes this device a favorite tool for drone pilots and navigation apps.
Battery Life & Portability
With a thickness of just 7.5 mm and a weight of only 469 g, the iPad 6 is designed for maximum portability. The 32.4-watt-hour battery provides up to 10 hours of active web surfing or video playback, ensuring you stay productive throughout the day.

Who is the iPad 6 for?
This model is the ideal choice for students, academics, and home-office professionals looking for a reliable device for note-taking, research, and media consumption. It also serves as a perfect Smart Home hub or a high-quality "first tablet" for younger users. If you value a physical Home button, a built-in headphone jack, and a proven track record of reliability, this iPad offers the best value-for-money in the current market.
