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

[RedTheReader]

I can't believe people actually believed this would have a home button.

At the same time, I can't believe Apple actually didn't make it compatible with the 2nd gen Apple Pencil and priced it so high.

This line-up is kinda confusing. At first blush, is Apple trying to phase out the iPad Air?

 

[JWSpaceMan]

Interesting. I see this color palette coming to iMac, selected for better compatibility with a black frame.

 

[jclardy]

This ipad has a USB-C port...and lightning apple pencil? How do you charge?

This update sucks. Base iPad has the proper camera position, and a much better keyboard accessory, but it can't use the better apple pencil. Pro's get...faster?

This is weirdly price just like the iPhone 14 Plus. It’s like huh?? What’s the point of this?!

$449 while the old model stays at $329.

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

Well be happy ,because here it starts at 589euros ,whilst the old model increased from 399 to 439

£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?

It's madness.

 

[Zest28]

Apple Pencil 1st generation support only.

I actually have one of these still laying around

 

[Account25476]

Apple Pencil 1st generation support only.

Exacly. By the way EU prices starts from €589.

I'm still feeling strange about the price, I was expecting surely less that that for a "base model".

 

[Macalicious2011]

Wow! Apple have ripped off Logitech's Combo Touch Keyboard but charge more money for it.

I was ready to buy but not now. Taking the mick. I am even more annoyed that the ipad air has not been updated but has increased 100

The fine print here is highly problematic. The iPad 9 stays around at the $329 price point and this comes in at $449.

Steve must be rolling in his grave. Seriously. Just call this the iPad Performa!

This muddles badly the iPad Air's reason for existing. Or does the iPad Air muddle the iPad 10's reason for existing? Regardless, something doesn't add up.

 

[msackey]

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

Totally agree.

That product reads like a transition product, unless....they are going to come out with a Gen 3 Apple Pencil that charges by USB C port. But why would they?

 

[kk200]

what is the difference between ipad10 and ipad air4?

 

[Duncan-UK]

Crazy prices - they've also upped the price of the 256gb Air from £719 to £849!!!!

 

[GlynJones]

In the UK the 10th gen iPad is now £499 in the UK. The 9th was £319 but is now £369 so a £50 increase to buy last years model. Rip off Britain once again.

 

[Eduardo1971]

Such.
Pretty.
Colours.

 

[BorisDG]

Pretty cool colors. I like yellow. But it's weird... USB-C and gen 1 pencil... also the display is not laminated. My guess is they don't wanted to make iPad Air 4 owners like me feeling bad.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

What a flop. $449? The Air is $520 at Amazon right now.

 

[Homme]

Apple Pencil 1st generation support only.

which is shocking actually

And to say the obvious because people still wish for it to happen but it will never happen. NO LAMINATED DISPLAY despite people. Bitching about it.

iPhone SE is now the last iDevice sold with a home button (EDIT: I’m wrong 9th gen iPad is still being sold with it)

 

[cb3]

Why? 1st gen. pencil? Higher price?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Why is it only carrying 500 nits of brightness? Apple could have at least added more nits of brightness.

 

[Patriks7]

$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.

Seriously, what's the point? This is in place of where the Air should be. Now we've getting yet another level?

 

[LightsOn45]

$449? 64GB? GTFO Apple.

 

[Slix]

Looks like the colors from the 5th Gen iPod touch.
