I bought every iPad EVER!

A breakout success that nailed the fundamentals, with an interface that still holds up today.

Considered even more of a revelation than the original, with a full modernisation of the fundamentals.

The Retina display was a great leap, but little else changed and the naming and LTE claims were a mess.

A big chip upgrade but otherwise essentially an iPad 3, released only months after it and with a baffling name.

Not exciting on specs, being basically a tiny iPad 2, but it was thin and it far outsold the iPad 4.

A big step in thinness, weight and power, helped by strong branding.

A massive, laptop-sized tablet with quad speakers and Apple Pencil support, though its Pro role was questionable.

A complete redesign with USB-C, Face ID and slim bezels that made the iPad feel like a magic sheet of glass.

Added a LiDAR sensor and Magic Keyboard, but the chip made no real difference and the selfie camera placement was odd.

Gained the M1 chip and a mini LED display, but the software could not make use of the power.

A modest upgrade with an M2 chip and Pencil hover, mostly for bragging rights.

The crowning jewel of the iPad line, remarkably thin with a tandem OLED display and the M4 chip.
