iPad (10th generation)

The 2022 iPad brought USB-C and an all-screen design, but Apple has replaced it with the A16 model.

Buying call

Buy the iPad (10th generation) only used or on clearance well below its replacement, the iPad (A16) with 128GB. It has a modern all-screen design, USB-C, a landscape front camera and lasted 10 h 57 min in a web-browsing battery test. Skip it if you need storage or a pen that's easy to live with, because the base model has 64GB and the first-gen Apple Pencil needs an adapter to charge. There's no headphone jack, and reviewers knocked its launch price for the upgrade.

Should you buy it?

Buy the iPad (10th generation) only used or on clearance well below its replacement, the iPad (A16) with 128GB. It has a modern all-screen design, USB-C, a landscape front camera and lasted 10 h 57 min in a web-browsing battery test. Skip it if you need storage or a pen that's easy to live with, because the base model has 64GB and the first-gen Apple Pencil needs an adapter to charge. There's no headphone jack, and reviewers knocked its launch price for the upgrade.
