Here are the best accessories to buy for your new iPad

Apple's iPads are on a roll. In Apple's last earnings report, iPad revenue grew by an incredible 79 per cent year-on-year. And just weeks ago, Apple announced the updated iPad Pro which features the company's amazing M1 chip.

Over the years, we’ve been adding on accessories to help improve the iPad's functionality. Devices like Bluetooth keyboards, mice, and hardened cases have turned the iPad from a mere tablet to a bona fide tool for professionals. And besides Apple-manufactured accessories, there are quite a few third-party vendors who have all jumped on the iPad bandwagon.

So, given the updates to the iPad, it felt like a good time to take a look at some of the accessories that are available for use with the iPad.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 features more effective noise-cancellation thanks to its Bluetooth Audio SoC that samples music and noise at over 700 times per second, making it more effective at nullifying higher frequency sounds like human conversations. It can also connect to two devices simultaneously and switch quickly between them. It supports AAC and LDAC (no AptX, sadly), and plays music through 40mm dynamic drivers.
