Alongside the M4 iPad Pros and M2 iPad Air, Apple announced a price drop for the 10th-generation iPad. The tablet now costs $349, making it $100 cheaper than before.
Additionally, Apple discontinued the iPad 9 from its lineup for good, which retailed for $329. This makes the iPad 10 the entry-level tablet in its lineup.
iPad 10 is now a lot more affordable
The iPad 9 was the last tablet in Apple’s lineup with a Home button and a Lightning connector. Plus, it was the only tablet that supported the first-generation Apple Pencil with a Lightning connector.
All iPads that Apple now sells feature a narrow bezel design with a Touch ID integrated side key or Face ID. They also rely on USB-C for data transfer and charging.
Apple announced the iPad 10 in October 2022. It features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, an A14 Bionic chip, and a 12MP landscape front-facing camera with Center Stage support. Since its launch, the tablet has carried a $449 price tag. The new $349 MSRP makes it much more affordable and a sensible option for the hardware it packs.
Apple’s cheapest iPad comes in several colors
With the iPad 9 no longer officially on sale, the iPad 10 is Apple’s new entry-level tablet now. Besides a modern design and faster internals, the iPad 10’s USB-C port will allow you to plug any Mac or iPhone-compatible accessory directly into it.
The iPad 10 is available in four colors: blue, pink, yellow, and silver. The $349 configuration includes 64GB storage, while the 256GB model costs an additional $150.
