The annual tenth generation of the basic iPad finally brought its desired redesign, which is clearly based on the iPad Pro and Air, when it resembles the latter the most. It has a 10,9" display and is equipped with an A14 Bionic chip. Cameras were also improved, and Lightning and the Home Button disappeared. 

Just like the Apple TV 4K and the new iPad Pros with the M2 chip, there was only a press release for the basic iPad. The new iPad has an all-over design and a large 10,9-inch Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360 × 1640 pixels and a brightness of only 500 nits. It is powered by the A14 Bionic chip, which provides even higher performance with incredible energy efficiency for demanding tasks and at the same time all-day battery life - of course, not as demanding as the M1 chip, for example. It is supposed to be 20% more powerful than its predecessor and with 10% better graphics. Apple says it's also supposed to be up to 5x faster than the best-selling Android tablet. But he doesn't say which one it is.

Updated cameras include an ultra-wide-angle 12MP front-facing camera located along the wide edge of the iPad with centering, and an improved rear camera that is also 12MP and capable of 4K video. The USB-C port supports a wide range of accessories, so even here we have said goodbye to Lightning. Wi-Fi 6 brings even faster connections, and mobile models are equipped with 5G, so users can stay connected even on the go.

Along with the new product, Apple also introduces the new Magic Keyboard Folio, which is designed specifically for this new iPad and is supposed to offer an incredible typing experience, including a trackpad. But the 1st generation Apple Pencil support is striking. Touch ID has moved to the top button of the iPad, so unlocking, signing into apps, or using Apple Pay is the same as on the iPad Air. There are four colors - blue, pink, silver and yellow. You can't get rid of a little lowend or kitsch impression. 

You can order now, the sharp sale starts on October 26. But the prices are quite high. The 64GB version costs CZK 14, the 490GB version costs CZK 256. As for cellular models, the price is CZK 18 for the 990GB model and CZK 64 for the 18GB model. For comparison – the 990GB iPad Air costs CZK 256, the 23GB version costs CZK 490, and the cellular models cost CZK 64 and CZK 18, respectively. So you have to decide for yourself if the new iPad is a good buy.
