It lacks the 4 GB of RAM necessary for simultaneous side-by-side and slide-over apps, however, the small screen is not ideal for this type of multitasking anyway. Although less of a loss for digital epigraphy, but it also lacks the quad-speaker system for landscape stereo. We would like to get it out of the way immediately and tell you what is missing when compared with the Pro models, starting with the most important component, the screen: the regular iPad lacks the laminated, DCI-P3 wide color gamut, 120 Hz ProMotion, color-matching TrueTone display of the iPad Pro. Now let’s see if the regular iPad has what it takes to become our everyday drawing tablet. We’ve already praised last year’s iPad Pro 10.5-inch for its versatility and speed, finding it a reasonable compromise for digital field epigraphy. Some models currently sold for $279 at Amazon, which makes it half the price of the iPad Pro 10.5-inch ($649 for 64GB Wi-Fi only). The regular iPad starts at $329 (32GB Wi-Fi only) when purchased through Apple, but is often discounted at retailers. Obviously, the main selling point for this particular iPad is support for the Apple Pencil, which can be especially exciting for our colleagues with smaller budgets. ![]() Nevertheless, while waiting for its successor, digital EPIGRAPHY would like to put last year’s model under the microscope and see if the cheapest solution would still be good enough for our digital drawing requirements. Apple’s first non-Pro tablet device attributed with Pencil support might be replaced by a new model this Spring.
