The sixth generationiPad[4] (also referred to as theiPad 9.7-inch[5]) is atablet computer developed and marketed byApple. It was announced and released in March 2018 and succeeded thefifth-generation iPad, upgraded with theApple A10 Fusion processor and support for styluses including theApple Pencil. The iPad was marketed towards educators and schools.
The sixth generation was replaced in September 2019, by theseventh-generation iPad and is the last iPad with the original 9.7 inch display size.
The iPad was shipped withiOS 11, and had theiWork suite of apps pre-installed and included Apple Pencil stylus support.[6][7] The iPad supports up toiPadOS 17, and does not supportiPadOS 18 oriPadOS 26.[8] In June 2025, a developer on GitHub unofficially ported iPadOS 18 to the iPad.[9]
The iPad's hardware is nearly identical to theprevious generation, except for a few upgrades, such asApple Pencil and stylus support and an upgraded processor, theApple A10 Fusion.[6][7] It is available in three colors: Silver, Space Gray, and Gold, a new color, matching the updated color introduced with theiPhone 8. The iPad has 2gigabytes of RAM.[10] It is 7.5 mm thick.[7] The iPad is available in 32 and 128 GB[a] storage options.[11][7] Unlike other iPad models, this iPad does not feature a laminated display.
The sixth generation iPad was announced on March 27, 2018, during an education-focused event atLane Tech High School inChicago.[12] The iPad was upgraded over thefifth-generation iPad with theApple A10 Fusion processor and support for theApple Pencil and otherstyluses,[6] and was marketed towards educators and schools.[13] It went on sale March 27, 2018 forUS$329.
The 2018 iPad received positive reviews. Gareth Beavis ofTechRadar praised the addition of the Apple Pencil and the powerful A10 chip, but noted that it was as costly as the previous generation iPad.[14] Scott Stein ofCNET also praised the addition of support forApple Pencil and the upgrade to the A10 chip, but criticized it for lacking theSmart Connector as well as not having the same display technology as theiPad Pro, writing "the 2018 entry-level iPad doesn't add much, but it makes an already excellent tablet a better buy than ever."[15]
