Apple^® devices, especially iPad^® tablets, are convenient for everything from running point of sale systems to checking your email and social media accounts. However, you might notice that your device begins to lose its performance capabilities over time. Here are a handful of signs that indicate the need to upgrade your iPad.

4 Ways to Know You Need a New iPad

1. Poor Battery Life

The average iPad should get several hours of battery life. If you constantly have to plug in the Apple device, the battery is likely on the fritz. Though you have the option of replacing it, you might want to upgrade to a newer model that lasts at least 10 hours before needing a charge. 

2. Random Shutdowns 

You may also notice that your iPad crashes or powers down without any warning. If a hard reset does not correct the issue, your battery may be on the verge of failure. Go for the better investment and get a new iPad that has a longer battery life span. 

3. Slow Performance 

iPad tablets tend to perform slow over time, as storage capacity and memory decrease. You might notice that apps take a long time to load, fail to respond at all, or crash unexpectedly. 

4. Cracked Screen 

If you drop your iPad or it experiences a harsh impact, the screen may crack and interfere with your ability to use the device. Cracked screens are typically expensive to repair, so it makes more sense to just go ahead and purchase a new Apple device. Don’t forget to get a screen protector to protect it if you drop it again in the future.
