Pros:
- It works pretty well.
- Touchscreen.
- Bluetooth and ANT+ (ANT+ with 30pin dongle + adapter)
- AirPlay or use an adapter to a big screen (limited to 4:3 as that's what iPads are (mirrored))
- Lightening to HDMI adapter allows for charging (it has a charging port next to the HDMI out)
Cons:
- Battery life/cycles.
- Small screen if you're not pushing it to something bigger.
- Can't run ANT+ dongle & charge at the same time.
- The visuals are good, not as detailed as a good gaming machine.
I'd go the AppleTV 4K over the iPad. There's a few catches there too (2 BLE devices direct, etc)

Gotta pass on the Apple t.v. the better half will never give up regular cable t.v.

the apple tv is cheaper than an ipad and supplements cable tv. as far as a zwift solution its the cheapest thing going.

Apple TV is a streaming box that has tons of apps. It’s worth having one

Runs perfectly on my 10.5” iPad Pro using my gen 1 Kickr, DuoTrap on the Speed Concept, and a Suunto strap.

DirectTv Now has a deal where you pay 4 months of their streaming service at $35/m you get a free Appletv 32GB 4K. So $140, no tax for a unit that costs $180+tax. You can cancel at any time. Mine came within a week of signing up.
