The cheapest iPad received changes that were previously present in the Pro, Air and mini versions.
Apple originally planned to organize a full presentation of the new iPads, but in the end in a row, the company was supposed to change its mind and the first presentation was limited to sending press releases.
The iPad (10th generation) introduces long-awaited changes. Including a USB-C port
iPad is the latest model in the wallet that brings significant design changes.
First of all – the screen has grown from 10.2 to 10.9 inches, and the surrounding bezels have tapered off, which makes the tablet look more modern. The fingerprint reader has been moved to the edge of the chassis, and the selfie camera has been moved to a taller bezel to work better in landscape mode.

Second – the new iPad received the long-awaited USB-C port, which replaces the elongated Lightning connector.
Technically speaking, the new tablet is an iPad Air without the super efficient M1 chip.
Apple has armed its cheaper model with the well-known iPhone 12 A14 Bionic chip, a new 12 Mpix camera with 4K recording, a front camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and an optional 5G modem. The screen resolution of 10.9 inches is 2360 x 1640 (264 pixels per inch).
Available color versions are blue, yellow, pink and silver. iPad compatible with Apple Pencil and the new Magic Keyboard Folio with trackpad.
The new iPad Pro has an M2 chip and better stylus support
The M1 chip replaces the previous generation to provide a significant boost of power. Apple calculates that thanks to this, the new iPad Pro has 15 percent. 35 percent faster CPU, 50 percent faster graphics. Faster RAM. Downloading data will also be faster thanks to the Wi-Fi 6E connection.

The highest efficiency was to allow the introduction of the ability to record movies in ProRes format and speed up transcoding by 3 times.
iPad Pro
The latest iPad Pro is even better at working with the Apple Pencil. The tablet detects it from a distance of 12mm, so you can see in advance the path the pen will leave. This function is used in various places of the interface, as well as in third-party applications.
Like the previous generation, the iPad Pro is available in 11 and 12.9-inch versions. However, only the larger model has a small LED matrix, while the “eleven” model with an LCD screen remained.
Apple confirms that the latest generation of iPad Pro will make the most of the capabilities of iPadOS 16.
