## How We Test the Best iPads

Our testing process mirrors how we evaluate the best tablets overall. We spend several days with each iPad, assessing performance across different tasks:
– Watching videos
– Web browsing
– Playing casual and graphics-heavy games
– Editing 4K photos and videos
– Multitasking with split-screen apps
– Making FaceTime calls
To measure performance objectively, we run benchmark tests like Geekbench 6, 3DMark, and GFXBench Metal. These help us compare processing power, graphics performance, and battery efficiency across models.
We also evaluate real-world usability—how comfortable the iPad feels for extended use, how well accessories like the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard work, and whether the display quality holds up in different lighting conditions.
By combining hands-on experience with technical benchmarks, we ensure our recommendations are based on both performance and practicality.
