Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Apple iPad 2022 Cellular (4GB + 64GB)

  • Modernized design with thin bezels and an all-screen look similar to the iPad Air
  • Excellent 12MP landscape front camera that provides a more natural angle for video calls
  • Introduction of USB-C port for more universal charging and better peripheral connectivity
  • Fast performance for everyday tasks powered by the A14 Bionic chip
  • Reliable battery life, often reaching Apple's 10-hour claim for light browsing and work
  • Improved stereo speakers positioned at both ends for better audio in landscape orientation
  • Vibrant and attractive new colour options including Blue, Pink, and Yellow

What customers don't like about Apple iPad 2022 Cellular (4GB + 64GB)

  • High initial price point compared to the 9th-generation model
  • Inconvenient first-generation Apple Pencil support that requires a dongle to charge/pair
  • Disappointing base storage of 64GB which fills up quickly with modern apps and media
  • Lack of a laminated display, resulting in a small air gap between the glass and the screen
  • Removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring adapters for wired headphones
  • Missing anti-reflective coating, making the screen harder to use in bright sunlight

Verdict

The 2022 Apple iPad (10th Generation) Cellular model features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display (2360 x 1640), the A14 Bionic chip, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. It marks a significant redesign with a move to USB-C, slimmed-edge-to-edge bezels, and the relocation of the 12MP front camera to the landscape edge for more natural video calls. Main pros include its modern aesthetics, 5G connectivity for on-the-go use, reliable performance for everyday tasks, and high-quality 12MP rear camera capable of 4K video. However, notable cons include a non-laminated display that lacks an anti-reflective coating, awkward first-generation Apple Pencil support requiring an adapter, and a base 64GB storage capacity that may quickly become restrictive for power users.
