The 10th generation iPad just got even more attractive with a new design, A14 chip, and USB-C | Practical video

Here we still have large bezels around the 10.9-inch IPS LCD panel, showing that Apple wanted to emphasize that this is still an entry-level tablet. The tenth-generation iPad is available in four colors: white, yellow, magenta, and blue.

As for the Touch ID sensor, it is now located in the upper part next to the audio outputs, and we also have two lower sensors to ensure stereo sound with four speakers.

Taking into account the position of this tablet, the sound quality is very good and we have a sound that is loud and well balanced.

A very important point for the tenth generation iPad is the presence of a USB-C port for charging and connecting peripherals, such as an external hard drive, for example.

Apple is also selling a new keyboard accessory for the 10th generation iPad that’s split into two parts. The former can be connected to a tablet for hands-free use.

The second part contains a keyboard and a small touchpad so that the iPad becomes a mini laptop for professional use.

And what’s in the box? The iPad itself, USB-C cable, charger, and manuals. This means that there is no begging from Apple in this product.

However, this panel is not laminated as found on the fourth and fifth generation iPad Air. This means that the screen is covered with glass and there is a small gap between it and the frame. As a result, we have a seemingly hollow touch, but the advantage is that in the event of a possible fall, only the glass breaks, preserving the panel.

When it comes to the processor, the 10th generation iPad uses the Apple A14 Bionic. This results in a good performance improvement on the CPU and GPU part, as well as offering a more fluid experience for typical use by a regular user. That is, without hindrances to run apps, perform heavy activities, or play games.

In terms of connectivity, the tenth generation iPad gets 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2, as well as support for the first generation Apple Pencil.

But it’s always good to remember that this accessory is sold separately and that you’ll need an adapter to recharge the pen on the iPad, since it has a Lightning port and uses USB-C.

Finally, speaking of the battery, Apple says that it can guarantee up to 10 hours of continuous use on Wi-Fi, but this number may decrease if used on the cellular network.

The software also adds several new features shared with iOS 16, such as the ability to edit or unsend texts in iMessage and Freeform, a tool aimed at collaborative work that supports texts, audios, and videos.

It also has updates for native apps such as weather, mail, and photos.

It can also record 4K videos at 60fps from the rear, while the front lens also has a resolution of 12MP which is a further improvement over the previous generation.

Meaning, the user should experience higher quality videos in calls or even sharper photos when taking that selfie with friends at work, for example.

However, it is still an expensive device and still aimed at people who are Apple fans or have a lot of money and don’t care about the price.

In short: It’s a good entry-level tablet, but the price is still quite steep. If this will change, we don’t think so.
