It’s hard to believe, but iPads have now existed for 13 years.
And even as the pioneers of the tablet computers head into their teens years, iPads still feel like the future, but also like they’ve been around forever, and we’ve always had them. Strange, huh? We’ll call it the iPad Paradox.
Something that’s decidedly not paradoxical about iPads, however, is that they keep getting better; faster, sleeker, and smaller. And as iPads themselves improve, so do the products that support them.
Since the iPads inception, Apple has come up with tons of ways to trick out your iPad, from the bestselling Apple Pencil, for note-taking, drawing, and designing, to the Apple Magic Keyboard, which instantly transforms your iPad into a laptop, complete with a USB-C port.
Below, we’ve rounded up a running list of the best iPad Accessories on the market, including the aforementioned Apple Pencil and Apple Magic Keyboard, plus loads of other helpful tools and accessories.
