Apple’s 10th-gen iPad is its best entry-level model to date and it’s a great alternative to some of the most costly models on the market. This iPad is the biggest update to the entry-level device since its inception. With a design overhaul to match the iPad Air and iPad Pro models that came before it, the new iPad has an edge-to-edge display, flat sides and a USB-C port.
It might be the entry-level model, but you could argue that the iPad is still a costly tablet. Thankfully, there are plenty of deals to be had if you know where to look — and don’t worry, we’ve done the looking for you.
Inside, it’s powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chip and features a larger, 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. The move to a flat-sided design doesn’t, however, mean compatibility with the Apple Pencil 2. Rather, the device maintains support for the original Apple Pencil. Like the iPad Air and iPad Mini, the new 10th-gen iPad supports Touch ID via the top button.
Apple’s 10th-gen iPad starts at $449 and is available now.
