Apple Unveils 10th-Gen iPad With Complete Redesign, 10.9-Inch Display, USB-C, and More

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced the 10th-generation iPad, featuring the A14 Bionic chip and a complete redesign with a range of color options.

The 10th-generation iPad features an all-new design with flat sides and a larger, 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display like the iPad Air. The device now features a Touch ID side button and comes in Blue, Pink, Silver, and Yellow.

The iPad gains the A14 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide 12MP front-facing camera located along the landscape edge of the iPad for a better video calling experience, an updated rear-facing 12MP camera, 4K video recording, a USB-C port, landscape two-speaker audio, 5G connectivity on cellular models, and Wi-Fi 6.

The new iPad comes alongside the all-new Magic Keyboard Folio and supports the first-generation Apple Pencil only. The new iPad is available to order starting today, with availability in stores beginning Wednesday, October 26.

$449 while the old model stays at $329.

Should have expected those shenanigans, it would’ve been too good to be true otherwise.

Edit: 1gen Apple Pencil support with USB-C dongle needed? What a joke.

 

[dbenesch]

Apple Pencil 1st generation support only.

 

[MathersMahmood]

They have increased the prices of the iPad air! Before it was £569 and now its £669! Why!?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Better to wait for the 14" iPad at this point.

 

[dantracht]

Pass at that price.

 

[jvlfilms]

Apple Pencil 1st generation support only.

Truly incredible! From the press release....

Apple Pencil (1st generation) is compatible with the new iPad. A new USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter is required for pairing and charging and is included in the box with a new version of Apple Pencil (1st generation) for $99 (US).

Bye home button!

Lmao at $449. I guessed $399. Damn.

9th gen - $329
10th gen - $449

GTFO.

still $599 starting price as before

 

[B-Mc-C]

So this gets the camera repositioned but not the Pro? WTF.

 

[MayaUser]

So the most cheapest now have the better facetime position

 

[zachy85]

You can get the 2022 iPad Air at Amazon for $519. Why would anyone buy the new 10inch iPad for $80 bucks more?

That is just atrocious and un-Apple like...

 

[MathersMahmood]

still $599 starting price as before

Not in the UK its now £669 for the same ipad

 

[emulator]

What's this trying to compete with, S8?

 

[MathersMahmood]

What are they thinking. The iPad Air on Amazon is still 569 but on the official site its gone up £100. What a joke.

 

[revs]

Not in the UK its now £669 for the same ipad

Yep - just saw that, I thought it was a lot cheaper.

 

[mikeb13]

Too expensive for a base iPad with 64gb of storage.

 

[segfaultdotorg]

Does it have wireless charging? Not sure how it charges with no Lightning connector.

 

[antiprotest]

Apple Pencil 1st generation support only.

That is unbelievable. Then again this is Apple. But I was still surprised after all the things Apple has pulled before.

 

[GalileoSeven]

Bye home button!

Lmao at $449. I guessed $399. Damn.

9th gen - $329
10th gen - $449

GTFO.

Exactly. Looks nice, but at that price, I'd rather score an iPad Mini (or maybe even an Air). Nothing really compelling about this to make me regret buying a 9th Gen a few wks back.

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

...yeah...I think my next tablet will be a Galaxy Tab S8. I'm so done with the iPad lmao

Also rest in peace headphone jack

£499 for the new iPad but the basic 9th gen iPad has gone up from £329 to £369! I know dollar pound conversion has a lot to do with this, but £499 for the new iPad is taking the Mickey.

Have Apple given up on mass market appeal?

$449 to start?!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Should be more like $349—Apple must have made a typo. lol

And it is USB-C but still uses the first Apple Pencil with Lightning connection? WTF
