Might Apple's new mid-range iPad actually be the best one?
The lowest spec 10th gen iPad 2022 will set you back $449 / £499. That's $120 / £130 more than the 9th gen iPad, and $150 / £170 less than the 5th gen iPad Air.
If you want to really make the most of the iPad 2022, you'll want a stylus and keyboard. For an Apple Pencil, you're looking at $99 / £109 on top. If you already own one, you'll need to grab an Apple Pencil to USB-C charger for an additional $9 / £9. The iPad 2022 feels like a luxurious version of Apple's entry-level iPad, which is good because that is arguably what it is. It's bigger and brighter than the 9th gen iPad, with a Liquid Retina screen that is a whole 0.7 inches bigger. It might not seem like much, but those extra millimetres make all the difference, especially when using it in split-view mode.
To charge, it's USB-C, which makes connections to other devices a much simpler affair. And there's also a Smart Connector on the edge of the iPad to connect to the all-new Magic Keyboard Folio. The new iPad 2022 comes complete with iPadOS 16, and we could spend all day explaining how some of the amazing features in this update translate to this device. But for now, I just want to highlight the most exciting feature for me – the ability to lift a subject from an image.
The magnetic attachment between the iPad and keyboard is super-strong, and I didn't worry at all about it coming apart if and when I picked the device up. If you want to stop using the keyboard while out and about, you can lift it off and turn it around, so when you fold it over, the keys sit flush against the back of the device.
