Frequently asked questions
The most recent iPads to be released are the new 2024 iPad mini and the new version 2 of the Apple iPad 10.9-inch 10th gen.
If you don't think you’ll need a lot of apps or games on your iPad, 64GB will work fine, otherwise you should consider getting a larger 128GB or 256GB iPad. If you plan to do any graphics-heavy design work, it’s a good idea to get a 512GB + model.
Choosing a cellular iPad over a Wi-Fi-only iPad means you'll be able to make use of a mobile data connection, so you can connect to the internet wherever you go.
The new iPad mini and version 2 of Apple iPad 10.9-inch 10th Gen are out now. The upcoming 11th Gen iPad is rumoured to be out in 2025, as are new models of the iPad Pro and iPad Air.
For many, the 10.9inch iPad will be a better choice over the iPad Air, as it’s a good all-rounder that does all the essentials for a lower price. The iPad Air, however, boasts a faster processor, so is suited to more demanding tasks, like graphic design or video editing. iPad Air is also lighter and thinner than iPad.
You could trade-in your old iPad and use the value to reduce the cost of a new iPad, or just have the cash sent straight to your account. You could also recycle your iPad so it can be donated to someone who really needs it.
iPads have additional protections against viruses because Apple's mobile operating system (iOS) is highly compartmentalised. This means that apps are isolated from each other, making it almost impossible for a computer virus to infect the iOS system and spread within it.
You can connect Magic Mouse, another Bluetooth® mouse, or a USB mouse to your iPad. Note: Mouse devices are sold separately. Not all mouse devices are fully compatible with all models of iPad.
Emergency alerts can be received on iPads as long as they are connected to a 4G or 5G phone connection and have the most recent iOS or Android version.
There are currently 10 generations of iPad, with the next release expected in 2025.
No, iPads are not waterproof, and they do not have an IP rating. You can purchase a water-resistant iPad case to protect it from water damage.
We have a selection of cases available in our Three Accessories store.
Yes, you can. This enables you to connect to our network, and get connected on the move when Wi-Fi isn’t available.
