10 generation iPad and lesser generations are worthless now. Your better off with iPad Air with a m2 chip if anything at all.
They are not worthless. It all depends on the need of the person. They have been on sale as low as 300 I think.

Personally if one is looking at the 10th get iPad, I would suggest they look at the M1 Air, Walmart has or had it (depending if its on stock) for 399, you get an M chip, 8gb of ram, its laminate, you can use the apple pencil with wireless charging etc.

base iPad is not worthless. I think it is a great entry point iPads if you are not needing all the bells and whistles. I also think at its price point, it is great for kids / education....

Wonder if the base iPad will get a Magic Keyboard. Not sure why this isn’t an option.
it seems unlikely, instead they did give it that flip keyboard though which is also very useful and cheaper. Right now the MK cost almost as much as the base iPad, so it's not an ideal market or fit unfortunately.
