Alongside its M2-powered iPad Pro and refreshed Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple has also revealed an entirely redesigned 10.9-inch entry-level iPad with more squared-off edges.
Apple’s new base-level iPad (2022) features a 10.9-inch display that seems identical to the iPad Air’s, USB-C, a side Touch ID button and new colours, including ‘Blue,’ ‘Pink,’ ‘Silver’ and ‘Yellow.’ Since the new tablet offers Touch ID built into its power button, it no longer features a front-facing physical Touch ID button like its predecessor.
On the camera side, the new iPad features a 12-megapixel ultra-wide front-facing camera and an updated 12-megapixel rear shooter. The tablet still only supports the 1st-gen Apple Pencil and not the newer 2nd-gen Apple Pencil. Apple has also refreshed its Magic Keyboard Folio case.
Apple’s new iPad is available to order now and launches on October 26th and starts at $449 for the Wi-Fi-only version and $599 for the Wi-Fi + Celluar.
More to come…
