Internet & Connectivity
The iPad 6th Generation can connect to the internet using WiFi and it is very reliable. On some models of the iPad 6th generation there is a SIM card slot that allows you to insert a SIM card for connecting to the internet using mobile date.
The web browser on the device is Safar which is the default web browser on all Apple devices. It is fast and reliable and it load and view just about any website quite quickly with no problems. Images and videos also load and work fine on the web browsing meaning you have a great web browsing experience on the iPad 6th Generation.
As for connectivity there is Bluetooth which works fine for transferring files between Bluetooth devices and there is also a headphone jack and lightning connector for charging and connecting the device to a computer. Aside from that there not much else connectivity wise on the iPad 6th generation meaning connectivity options are limited due to the lack of connectivity features on the device.
The iPad 6th Generation has 2GB RAM and 32GB or 128GB internal storage depending on the model you choose but it is not expandable because there is no Micro SD card slot on the device.
Apps & Gaming
The iPad 6th Generation has many options when it comes to apps and gaming. It comes with a bunch of apps preinstalled which include the apps that come on most Apple devices by default such as clock, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders, home, news and a few others.
It also has the Find iPhone app for track your iPad if it gets lost and has a podcasts app as well that is installed by default. The device also comes with a few very useful apps which include Garageband for composing your own songs, Keynote for creating presentations, Numbers for creating spreadsheets and Pages for creating documents.
It also comes with other apps like Tips, Photo Booth, Find friends and iTunes U and iMovie. I was surprised that it came with so many apps preinstalled and at how good a lot of these apps are. But this just scratches the surface of what is possible with apps on the iPad 6th Generation.
The App Store
The iPad 6th Generation has an app store which is the iTunes store like on all Apple device and this gives a lot more options and opens up a world of possibilities. There thousands of apps you can download, install and run on the device and a lot of them are compatible with the iPad and run smoothly.
It’s up to you which apps you want to download and install on your iPad but the possibilities are pretty much endless. You can things like business apps and office to do business and office work on the go, you can watch Netflix and other streaming services, use different social media platforms, play many different games and much more.
There are some newer apps that may not be compatible with the device but you can find some great alternatives by browsing the app store. You can pretty much do anything you want on the iPad 6th generation using apps from the app store and be in control of your work, leisure and entertainment at all times whether you are at home or on the go.
Gaming Experience
Gaming is amazing on the iPad 6th Generation and you can find many great games on the app store. Most games run smoothly and the graphics look great. If you set your settings in different games to high or ultra it looks even better.
A lot of demanding games work fine on the iPad 6th Generation and run really well including games like Gangster Vegas, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and Call Of Duty Mobile. Most games are compatible with the device but sometimes there are new games that won’t work on the iPad due to them being not supported by the device but most games are supported and work fine.

My Experience With The iPad 6th Generation
I got my iPad 6th Generation in 2018 when it came out brand new and I have had an amazing experience with it. It was easy and quick to set up and it was fast even from the first boot. I was able to browser the web, watch YouTube videos and download apps easily.
The only issue I had was that apps were slow to download if they were large but I later found out that it was caused by my internet connection. Now that I have an better and upgraded internet connection I haven’t had that issue anymore.
I also really like the camera on the device and have always been able to take great quality photos and videos. I have always been able to do whatever I want on my iPad without any issues and gaming was the best part due to the great speed, amazing graphics and amazing performance. Everything about the iPad 6th Generation has been amazing and I have had an amazing experience with it.
Do I Still Use The iPad 6th Generation?
I still use my iPad 6th Generation from time to time but not all the time like I used to when I first got it. This is because I now mainly use it whenever I want to play mobile games and I use my laptop for everything else. But I do still use my iPad sometimes and it still works really well at all times.
It still has the same great speeds and performance it always had and I still even great the same amount of battery life out of it like I did when it was brand new. Everything on it including games still works and runs really well. The only thing I don’t like about the iPad is that sometimes I have had trouble connecting to certain WiFi networks for no apparent reason.
I also don’t like that the internal storage is not expandable because there is no Micro SD card slot on the device that I mentioned earlier in this iPad 6th Generation review. But other than that I really like everything else about it and have had no other issues with it. My iPad 6th Generation still works like new and it still gives me the same amazing experience I have always had with it since I got it when it was brand new.

I also recommend the iPad 6th Generation to anyone who is looking for an iPad without the latest features but still wants a powerful device that can do everything Apple devices usually do.
I don’t recommend the iPad 6th Generation to anyone who wants an expensive iPad with the latest features and high end hardware. I also don’t recommend the iPad 6th Generation to anyone who wants to use a lot of apps and games that aren’t supported on this generation of iPad as you won’t be able to use them on the device.
