The best smartphones, tablets and smartwatches to give as gifts
A smartphone makes for one really nice but expensive holiday gift. If you're shopping for someone who deserves it (or just really needs to upgrade from a phone from way-back-whenever), we've got recommendations across iOS and Android, as well as other devices and tech that people might need on the go. Don't worry: Not everything is a new phone. This year's picks include Apple's iPhone 11, its cheapest flagship in years, and Google's Pixel 3a, whose sub-$400 price belies its amazing camera. We've also included our favorite portable battery pack from Anker and Amazon's latest Kindle Paperwhite, and the Brydge Pro remains one of the best keyboards for transforming your iPad Pro into something resembling a laptop replacement.
Apple iPad review (10.2-inch, 2019): Bigger, slightly better, still great
Apple is dead set on making sure there's an iPad for everyone. Want something fast and future proof? Try an iPad Pro. Prefer a smaller device? There's the updated iPad mini. Need a spacious screen and excellent performance without paying Pro prices? The iPad Air is probably for you. And now with the $329 iPad 10.2 (or the 2019 iPad or whatever you want to call it), Apple is making sure people who just need the essentials are getting them. Again. Chiefly, it offers a solid screen, great software and the sort of good battery life we've come to expect from Apple. With that said, the new iPad isn't a massive improvement over the model it replaces, and that's OK. When you consider how few companies are making good tablets, the 2019 iPad gets enough right that it's still the best reasonably priced tablet out there right now.
