It runs on the latest iPadOS, which brings new features and improvements, in addition to a new redesigned Home screen that allows for quick and easy access to various widgets and shortcuts. The iPad also support for Split View, using which, users can easily work with multiple files and document and switch between them multiple apps using Slide Over. The seventh-generation iPad comes with ultra-fast wireless performance and support for Gigabit-class LTE connectivity, that delivers up to three times faster cellular data connections. It also comes with Apple’s reliable and secure Touch ID authentication mechanism, which allows you to unlock your device with ease while keeping your device secure.
