Which iPads are suitable for seniors?
Don't have an iPad yet? And don't want to pay too much? Maybe a refurbished iPad is something for you. For example, take a look at the iPad 2018 or the iPad 2019 . Both iPad models have a good interior, which makes them respond very quickly. They are compatible with the latest version of Apple's operating system iOS and are expected to be supported for a number of years to come.
If you don't plan on going out much with your iPad, choose the Wifi variant and not the variant with Wifi and 4g. This way you save even more on the purchase of your iPad.
An iPad with 32GB (Gigabyte) of memory is sufficient for most users. If you really want to be sure that you will never run out of memory, choose 128GB.
