Verdict
The iPad (10th gen) is good, and very good paired with the Magic Keyboard Folio; its 2024 price cut makes it better value.

Verdict
The iPad (10th gen) gets a sleeker design, a faster A14 chip and USB-C, but it costs more than its predecessor and Pencil support is weak.

The iPad (10th gen) is a reliable companion for multitasking and streaming, but its 64GB base model is too small and the price rise isn't justified.

  • Transition to USB-C charging for better compatibility with modern accessories
  • Significantly improved landscape-oriented front camera, ideal for video calls
  • Reliable and snappy performance for everyday tasks via the A14 Bionic chip

What customers don't like about Apple iPad 2022 WiFi (4GB + 256GB)

  • Significant price increase compared to the previous 9th-generation model
  • Awkward 1st-gen Apple Pencil compatibility requiring a separate USB-C adapter
  • Non-laminated display results in a small air gap and a 'hollow' feel when tapping
  • Starting storage of 64GB is considered inadequate for many users in 2022
  • Removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack requires an additional adapter for wired audio
  • Lack of anti-reflective coating makes it difficult to use in direct sunlight
  • Battery life remains stagnant at roughly 10 hours, lagging behind some competitors

Verdict

The Apple iPad 2022 (10th Generation) features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with 2360 x 1640 resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and True Tone technology, powered by the A14 Bionic chip with 4GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Main characteristics include a modern flat-edge design, a landscape-oriented 12MP ultra-wide front camera with Center Stage, and a 12MP wide rear camera capable of 4K video recording. Key pros are its transition to USB-C, support for Wi-Fi 6, and improved landscape stereo speakers that enhance the entertainment experience. However, notable cons include the non-laminated display, which results in a visible air gap, and an awkward accessory ecosystem that only supports the first-generation Apple Pencil via an adapter or the newer USB-C model.
