Adam Kos What will 2022 be like for Apple when we sum it up at the end? Certainly interesting, but also completely forgettable. Although we have a few original works here (Apple Watch Ultra, Dynamic Island), most of them are just recycling - 13" MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPhone 14, iPad Pro, Apple TV 4K and the 10th generation iPad, which remains in in a certain respect, a person's mind stands.
Apple introduced the 10th generation iPad, which is indistinguishable from the iPad Air. It means that it is modern and visually nice, whether you like its color combination or not. But it is so much the same that Apple had to limit it somewhere. There really aren't many changes between the individual models, which can be good for the novelty, but on the other hand, it lacks probably the most important things - performance and support for the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.

Lightning clears the field
It is evident that we are slowly saying goodbye to Lightning, but why, if Apple does it voluntarily somewhere (Siri Remote), does it stubbornly enforce its use elsewhere? Thus, the 10th generation iPad has the design of the 5th generation iPad Air with its sharply cut edges, but it cannot hold the 2nd generation Apple Pencil because it does not contain magnets, nor can it be charged. Its support is simply missing and the novelty is dependent on the use of its first generation, which has Lightning even though the iPad already has USB-C. So why didn't he just wait here and let Lightning go? Probably no one would be mad at him either.
Yes, we have a clear solution here in the form of an available reduction, but would it really be so difficult to bury the first generation of Apple's stylus together with the 9th generation of the iPad and only support the 2nd generation of new products? After all, even Apple itself would make money from it, because the second generation is also more expensive, and that would make sense considering the price of the iPad, which is far from the "basic" 9th generation, exactly 4 CZK.

Vratislav Holub But here we come across what we also saw with the iPhone 14 – few differences. If the iPhones 14 brought too few improvements compared to the iPhones 13, with the iPad 10th generation, on the contrary, Apple cut too little compared to the iPad Air 5th generation. There is clearly worse performance and a slightly worse display, but if we don't count accessory support and Bluetooth 5.2, that's about it. These devices are so similar that Apple had to distinguish them somehow, when the new iPad and the first generation Apple Pencil fall into the "low cost" sector and the iPad Air with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil into the higher one.

What about the user?
A long-time Apple fan may be shaking his head because he simply doesn't understand Apple's actions, but the average user might not care. When he buys a new iPad, he also buys an Apple Pencil with it and automatically receives the necessary reduction for it. He just takes it as fact. If he already has an Apple Pencil, he will buy the adapter separately and will be happy that he does not have to invest in a whole new Pencil when he only bought an iPad. So even if there are certain steps that we don't understand for certain reasons, we have to think that Apple simply has them well thought out. It would certainly not be such a problem to provide support for the second Pencil to the new iPad. But why would he do that, if you require its support, buy the more expensive iPad Air straight away.
