The introduction of the new generation of the cheap iPad was a bit of an unpleasant disappointment for some users. In terms of design, practically nothing has changed with this product, which is why it can be described as outdated in appearance.

The result of this difference is really interesting differences in the benchmark measurement via the Geekbench 5 application. While last year's model only gets 1373 points in it, this year's model beats it with 2945 points. The performance increase is therefore truly huge.

It achieves 4721 points in the same performance test, which is not such a brutal difference considering its price.

With regard to performance tests, it is now crystal clear that in terms of performance, the new product must be sufficient for absolutely every less demanding user, who is the target group for this iPad. However, even moderately demanding users will definitely not disdain it, as the performance of the iPad will allow them to do a lot of things without any major limitations.
