The sixth generation iPad (also referred to as the iPad 9.7-inch) is a tablet computer developed and marketed by Apple. It was announced and released in March 2018 and succeeded the fifth-generation iPad, upgraded with the Apple A10 Fusion processor and support for styluses including the Apple Pencil. The iPad was marketed towards educators and schools.

The sixth generation was replaced in September 2019, by the seventh-generation iPad and is the last iPad with the original 9.7 inch display size.
