Aimed at the budget and educational markets,[6] it was the first entry-level iPad with a 10.2-inch (26 cm) display instead of a 9.7-inch (25 cm) display.[7] The device supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, like its predecessor, and Apple's Smart Keyboard cover. It is the last supported iPad that lacks a Neural Engine; it can run versions of iPadOS up to iPadOS 18.
Its successor, the eighth-generation iPad, was revealed on September 15, 2020.
History
Rumors of a successor to the 2018 iPad surfaced in January 2019, after Apple registered seven iPad models with the Eurasian Economic Commission, whose database is known for providing hints about the company's upcoming devices.[8] One of the models was rumored to be a new entry-level iPad with minor design upgrades from the 2018 model, including a dual-lens rear camera[9] and a 10.2-inch display.[10] BGR said mass production could start in July 2019 for release in the year's third quarter.[11][12]
Apple revealed the 7th-gen iPad—along with the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max—at its Steve Jobs Theater on September 10, 2019, with a starting price of $329 (in the United States) and a release date of September 30.[6] It actually went on sale on Apple's website on September 25, 2019.[4][5]
It was larger than its 6th-gen predecessor, with a body that matched the third-generation iPad Air and the previous-generation 10.5" iPad Pro. This allowed the Smart Keyboard to be used for all three models, which eliminated the need for recharging and pairing of third-party Bluetooth keyboards and satisfied the education market's requirement for direct-connection keyboards during standardized tests.[citation needed]
As announced at Apple's WWDC 2025, the seventh-generation iPad supports no version of iPadOS after iPadOS 18.[13]
