iPad 10th Gen: 2 Weeks Later - The Most CONFUSING iPad

This is the 10th generation iPad, Apple’s latest ipad in their budget lineup. It’s got a whole new design change and an all new price tag. Yeah. Is it worth picking up? Let’s find out with a little review.

Out of the box you get a usb c to usb c charging cable, a charging brick and the ipad itself. The ipad takes on the design of the iPad Pro and Air lineups with flat edges and backs, and it removes the headphone jack along with the design change. But it does have both a landscape front facing camera orientation which no other iPad has. The screen size and physical dimensions are very similar to the iPad Air. What sets this ipad apart though is a lower $450 starting price tag and the older A14 chip vs the M1 that’s inside the iPad Air. Beyond that it has the details of every other ipad. A nice to look at Retina display, a singular 12mp back camera, a fingerprint sensor on the top right and speakers on the top and bottom of the ipad, 5g support for the cellular model and a usb type c port for charging. Overall the body got a much needed design update and is now consistent with the rest of the iPad lineup.
Using the ipad 10th generation is fine. Everything feels smooth when scrolling and in general usage. And it’s what you expect out of an ipad. The speakers sound decent, not as great as the ipad pros but this is half the price.The back camera takes decent pictures, and that’s really all you need out of a tablet. With the front facing camera now in landscape mode, it makes it easier to multitask while you're on a call and works better when attached to keyboards. Battery life isn’t an issue and it lasts as long as the other ipads, and it passes the Genshin impact test with flying colors giving smooth gameplay even at medium settings, 50fps. I think most people who use this ipad will find that it will do most of the things they want out of their ipad just fine. So when it comes to being an ipad and doing ipad things, this thing does the job and it does it well.
So, now that I’ve cleared how I feel about this iPad, I think there’s been a big question mark about this device. If this ipad is so confusing, who is this iPad for then? Like, what customer will look at this and see a perfect fit. Despite some of it’s compromises I think there’s still a market for an ipad like this. It’s for someone who wants an ipad that’s nicer than the 9th generation ipad and is willing to pay a higher price but doesn’t care much about using the signature ipad accessories such as the apple pencil 2 or magic keyboards. And if all of that is good enough for you to personally purchase it at the $450 price tag then feel free. So, if those upgrades from the 9th generation, and deficiencies from the air makes sense for you, it’s still a decent ipad. But could I at least recommend you shop around first? There may be some older 2020 iPad Airs that have slightly better accessory support still available for purchase.

[@samuelalvarez-stanley5128]

I’ve been looking for an iPad to buy and honestly the 10th gen fit my bill really really well, I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and can tell you that the Apple Pencil support is not a big deal at all, you only have to charge the pencil maybe once every couple days depending on your usage and with the right case it sits on top of your iPad in a convenient spot at all times. I paired it with the Logitech combo touch and it became exactly what I needed. I didn’t want to invest into an air or pro because I also don’t need the extra power because I have a MacBook Pro for that, and I also didn’t want to get the base 9th gen iPad, so opting for the 10th gen just happened to work out perfectly for me, I use it everyday and it gets done everything I need it for really efficiently.

[@junktin]

Same here, I just need a decent iPad for studying, and I honestly dont care about the apple pencil not fitting, plus I don't mind doing extra steps to pair and charge the apple pencil. I also really like the magic keyboard folio with the gen 10, mainly because i can fold it backwards, unlike the ipad pro/ air, and it looks great!

[@markgandcompany]

For me I’m happy with my iPad 9. I’m an artist on a budget and yet Im still able to make great illustrations on a 10.2 inch screen. The ONLY reason why I’d even think about an ipad 10 would be the larger screen. Having said that 7/10ths of an inch isn’t that big of a difference to me. So , I’m gonna stick with my ipad9 and my Apple Pencil 1. It’s fine folks. Oh and one more thing….I STILL love the headphone Jack and home button.

[@trevinodude]

I’m also happy to stick with my iPad 9 that I got in January. I’m no artist, but I primarily use my iPad as both a tool for media consumption and as a note taking machine, and for the purpose of taking as many notes as I do (which is a lot) the 10.2 inch screen still gives me all the room I need to comfortably write down said notes, not to mention the fact that for people like me who use it for more school type reasons, the Logitech Crayon is an easy to recommend stylus for students. I use it all the time since I didn’t need the Apple Pencil’s pressure sensitivity (which I imagine is quite useful for artist though). Thing is, on principal alone, I don’t think the iPad 10 does enough for students or artist to switch. The Apple Pencil experience is jankier with the need for a dongle (which is circumvented if you have a Logitech Crayon to be fair). Why pay more when the bigger 10.9 inch screen is still non laminated anyway? Not to mention the fact that the older design’s headphone jack is still quite useful for me since I’m also a musician, so being able to use my headphones while using the iPad to learn new music without worrying about said headphone dying on me is a HUGE stress reliever. All in all… the iPad 10 isn’t terrible by any means, but for all it’s worth, my iPad 9 is still the perfect tablet for my specific needs.

[@justina7639]

I purchased this iPad for university, and you are right, one of my reasons was that it is just nicer than the 9th Generation. The whole apple pencil fail is ridiculous imo, but I feel like I found a good way around it by getting the logitech crayon instead of an apple pencil. It's a lot cheaper to get the iPad 10th Gen + the Logitech Crayon instead of an Air + the Gen 2 Apple pencil, and while the Crayon will have to be charged seperately, that's still miles better than having to go through the whole ordeal with Apple Pencil Gen 1 + dongle + cable

[@desireehough4748]

As a iPad 10th gen and Apple Pencil first gen user, it’s not that bad. The adapter is just for connecting and charging. The pencil won’t work when it’s plugged in. I have a case that holds my pencil on the side of the iPad. When thinking about cost. The iPad 10th gen with 256gb plus the first gen pencil costs less than the iPad Pro 64bg and the 2nd gen pencil. The second gen pencil costs around 130 dollars alone.

[@justina7639]

@@tetianakubash6385 well I've only done one year so far and I have 40 GB left. so if I kept going at the same rate for four years it would probably not be enough. BUT a big chunk of that is applications (I have 23 apps installed; the iPad doesn't tell you how much space they use), so if I keep adding mostly documents I think there's a good chance the storage will do. sorry I can't tell you more! I also gather that Apple has made it much easier to access your files, so I plan on just moving some stuff to my computer or an external hard drive if it ever gets too much (another advantage of the USB-C port - I already have all the cords)

[@anubhutibanerjee6666]

I think it makes sense in some ways because current iPad owners already have the Apple Pencil 1 and would not want to pay more to get the pencil 2. But the design change means other accessories like the keyboards will not be supported. But also, too expensive.

I was looking for a IPad specifically for my art so the pencil was a must, I myself don't speak for others when I say this, but I don't see the issue with buying the adapter and connecting it that way. It is a poor design choice but I still don't mind the extra steps personally. I paid about 596$ for the IPad 10 with the g1 pencil, and adapter. The IPad air with the g2 pencil was definitely out of my price range but 122$ ( I think ) more isn't that bad for what you get in retrospect.

If I do get an Apple Pencil 1, charging it would not be an issue, as I will use my 6 th gen iPad to do so. I have no regrets getting the 10 gen ipad. It has a big screen, good stereo speakers, c charging port ,centrally placed camera to face time in landscape mode and colourful display. That’s good value for me.

Nice video! I've been looking for a new iPad (don't need one, want one) for some time now. The M1 iPad Air is quite expensive here in Europe. The 4th gen iPad Air is around €520 ish. The 10th gen iPad is €589 -> $640 which is waaay to much for what it is. The 2022 iPad Air starts at €700 and goes up to almost €1000 for the 256gb model. Based on the euro price, non of them are worth it at the moment. I'll stick to my 2018 iPad for now. Thanks for the video! I'm not sure what background music you used here, but it sounded a lot like my alarm clock, my body reacted strangely to it... haha

[@MrsVLGreen]

I totally agree with you, Jimmy. This iPad is definitely not the logical next step up from the 9th Gen. I invested in the 12.9 Pro last year (with magic keyboard and 2nd gen pencil) and toyed with the idea of downgrading because it can be cumbersome when traveling, but it just doesn't seem worth it.

Thanks for your review. My take on the 10th gen is that Apple is marketing to new to Apple people with the design, the fact that other pencils will work and the usb feature. Makes the tech switch easier.

[@kathycoleman4648]

This. I'm debating between this or the Air, and while I intend to buy a pencil for whichever I end up getting the pencil situation does not upset me because I've already checked and seen that the first gens being sold now come with the dongle. I owned a gen one pencil a while back but gave it to my aunt when I gave her my iPad Mini 5. I actually prefer it attacking with a dongle hooked into USB see rather than poking out of the ipad itself. Sure, popping the Pencil 2 on to charge is quicker and easier, but I'm not sure if it's $225 CDN (the cost of getting 256 storage and the $35 more for the newer pencil) more convenient. I realize that's not the only difference between the two ipads, but at the end of the day what depends is what the consumer needs. Buying more than one needs is wasting money one could have used elsewhere. The immediate argument that itt's the 9th or the Air seems like more of an internet fad, imo.

[@HeyOiii2345]

This iPad is in Germany even more confusing. I bought my iPad Air 2022 like two and a half weeks before the announcement for the 10th Gen. I bought it for 680€ and after the 10th Gen was released (for 579€ btw which is ridiculous) the price for the iPad Air went up to 769€. So basically you could‘ve gotten an iPad Air 2022 for a 100€ more if you had bought it before the 10th Gen was released (which I did).

In addition, the 1st generation Apple Pencil is only compatible with the 10th generation; which means you have to get a $9.00 USD adapter just to charge it, since the new iPads all have a USB-C charging port. Plus, Walmart has it for $560.00, and Best Buy had it on sale for only $500.00 (which is where I got it). Personally, the iPad 10th generation is sort of new, yet somewhat old. New design, but old body. It’s basically a copy of the iPad Air 4, which supports the 2nd gen Apple Pencil and has a laminated display and anti-reflective coating. It’s only $20.00 more than the 10th gen. If you look on KZbin, a lot of tech KZbinrs consider the 10th generation iPad to be one of the most confusing that Apple has made so far.

Even though most people would use the iPad Air and iPad Pro for drawing purposes, I still use an iPad 9 for that with the 1st Generation Apple Pencil, despite its display being non-laminated, but to me that's fine enough for doing art on it anyway, since I mostly draw facing directly towards the screen anyway, rather than looking through different angles.

[@FigWidIt]

With the release of the new $249 Apple Magic keyboard that is only made for this style ipad, there's a high chance the basic "ipad" will keep this new redesign for many years. Like how the 10.2in design lasted from the iPad 7th gen-9th gen 🤔

[@PilotTessa]

Just bought it a couple of weeks ago…definitely agree with the confusion in their lineup. I traded in a 64gb pro. Didnt want the magnetic pencil, but was told my 1st gen pencil would work and boy!(!) am i having trouble with that! 🙄i didnt need more than a tabletop pad so i think it will be fine …cant find an adequate keyboard yet! Will look for more of these good reviews….thanks Jimmy! My bad for not doing better research!

[@Arend010]

My fifth-generation iPad was at its end. So i bought the 10the generation because i don't care about accessories. I'm happy with this one. And it was 430 euro's!

[@Zack-rd2cy]

I have this iPad the only thing that’s confusing is the Touch ID but you will eventually get used to it.

[@johnwylie6700]

Bought one and I love it! Amazon has a third party pencil that has about 90% of the capability of the Apple Pencil 2 for $25…very happy with this product 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@myks0139]

Whats the pencil called?

[@maribelhernandez1792]

I agree they honestly last a long time before I have to charge up. Just look up smart pencil and make sure it's compatible

[@cliftonoquinn1865]

The $350 on sale price, the usb c port and the size made it a winner for me. Now, I can seamlessly connect an external audio interface, midi keyboard or external drive to it. Pure perfection.

[@mysticthundersheeshgod499]

hey really great video but the adapter you mentioned which comes in the box, it is actually a lightning port adapter so for the usb-c one you have to shell out some bucks. otherwise one of the best summarised videos on the platform

[@mfairus3781]

New users for ipad like me.. Dont really mind on the pencil 2nd gen wireless charging actually, since my work does not use the apple pencil. i just need a device lighter and smaller than my laptop to work on while i am outside of the office.

[@1956mercy]

I bought ipad 10 gen 3 weeks ago snd love it. I personally do not like the pencil so no big deal for me. And bought a 3rd party keyboard case and love it no issue at all using the keyboard. I can scan and print so all is well. This is my go to for travel since easy to carry, instead of my iPad Pro 12.9.

[@karenaddie3516]

I just bought one and I think it's great, way better than my old one.

[@ItzJoseLol]

I got it on sale for 400, and didn’t want the home button so I got the 10th gen over the 9, and just get the Logitech digital pencil, it has the Apple Pencil internal tech and comes with usb c charging already and is 30 dollars cheaper.

[@kionasworld]

me personally I prefer the 10 over the 9 only because I’m a college student who likes taking digital notes and the bigger screen is more beneficial bc I write A LOT lol. I feel like if I got the 9th gen my notes would look more cluttered than what it would on a 10th gen.

[@sherntell]

I have this iPad. It's my first one ever so I can't compare it to anything else. BUT, I really don't like the pencil set up AT ALL! One of the main reasons I bought an iPad is to do art and post related content. I don't want to keep up with extra accessories. That's enough for me to return it and get the 9. Seriously. Thank you for this review.

[@nepisnowa5631]

just go this ipad few weeks ago for my school, art and own stuff and its first ipad i ever own, i have pen for it and im happy with it, still getting used to IOS on ipad and as well on ip15 (been android user for long time and now had ip 15 for 2 months)

[@madchen00]

I bought the iPad gen 10 for the pink 🤩 💖

[@shahadaljasser9202]

It’s really good and this iPad is very useful because I’m using it right now and it’s very good😊 and thank you for showing everybody this. This is such a good with you.😊

[@sandstarrentertainment]

The only reasons I'll still wind up getting this are because trading in my current iPad, I'd get a $350 credit from Best Buy, which will reduce my price to closer to $250 with tax, and because the color is beautiful (I do tend to go for cases with transparent backs). The color is simply beautiful. I own both an Apple Pencil 1st and 2nd generation, so I'll revert back to using my 1st generation Apple Pencil for this iPad, hold onto my 2nd generation pencil and trade in this new iPad for the new iPads that are rumored to drop in 2024 for a higher trade in credit than my current model would get.

[@sergiorivas8755]

Nice Review!. I cannot believe all the drama with the Apple Pencil 1. I bought on Amazon an replacement of the original cap of the pencil that convert the male Lighting on a female connector for $9, and I charge the pencil using the charger of my iphone (It seems everybody that is reviewing the Ipad 10, forgot the iphone is still using a lighting connector). I tried to connect the pencil with the adapter to the ipad 10, and it did not recognize the pencil, so I had to order the $9 original adapter to Apple just to pair (total $18 on adapters, but this is cheaper that buy a new apple pencil), but after the initial pairing, I will never the apple dongle, and I will charge the pencil with the female lightning adapter. I am very happy that apple decided to use the original pencil, since I already had one on my Ipad 9th, so I did not expend more on a Pencil version 2.0. I think the reviewers forgot that many people like me is upgrading from old Ipad, and we have already the pencil 1 generation. In fact, I hope Apple for the Ipad 11, will still use the 1 pencil generation, so I don't have to expend more money on an accessory that i already have. The best way is designing an Ipad that recognize both generations of pencils, I hope Apple does that in the feature. I am very happy with the Ipad 10, and I would never buy the ridiculous expensive original keyboard, I rather buy a generic one on AliExpress. Thanks.

[@avroravioletacontrerasrivas]

Omg, do you have the link for the cap replacement ¿ I need it

[@trevinodude]

The thing is, even people who don’t have iPhones get iPads, which is a huge reason why the Apple Pencil drama is such a big thing as it is for tech reviewers. Sure, for people like us who has an iPhone, it’s not that big a deal. We have an alternate solution to the whole dongle thing when it comes to charging the Pencil, but iPhone users is not the only consumer base that iPads reach. Heck, when the iPad 2 was new, I had an iPad 2 before I even got an iPhone. I was using LG phones at the time.

[@tomjardine100]

i really like mine, very good battery life and fast. Although i did upgrade from the 3rd generation

[@any2473]

4:52 thanks. I was wondering if I had to buy the adapter separately.

[@elizabthramz]

I have this iPad and use a stylist pen with a usbc charger and works just like the apple pencil

[@heidis2330]

I think it is stunning.

[@OscarRamirez-jx6ko]

Got one open box from Best Buy in what looks to be in perfect condition for $356. Love this iPad!

[@tomaskiii1017]

been using the ipad 2018 wd first gen pencil. this will be a defintely good upgrade .

[@brettw2429]

This is a huge performance upgrade from my iPad mini 5. And…I can use my old Apple Pencil 1, which saves me money. Upgrading to a new iPad air with Apple Pencil 2 is an over $700 proposition, versus $450 for the 10th gen iPad. Plus, I need the wide angle back camera for my work. I’m the satisfied customer Apple wanted for this 10th gen iPad.

[@Kevinb1821]

Are all iPads weak? I still have no idea how it happened by my new iPad 10 was bent this morning. It bent just like the iPhone 6plus did.

[@ramblesss]

SO INSIGHTFUL! Stopped me from making a purchase I didn't need.

[@grimesfamily4902]

i have this ipad and I honestly love it and Im a huge gamer so it being not laggy is the best

[@teresar512]

I couldn’t figure out how to get the Apple Pencil 1 to connect so I purchased the 2 thinking it would work. How I stumbled on your video. So now I have a pencil 2 and a 1. 🤦🏽‍♀️ still gotta go back and figure out how to get the first gen pencil to connect. Frustrating and inconvenient to say the least. Thank you for your content.

[@chikaebede5526]

I got one of these yesterday with the pencil!! Is it worth it because I love pink

[@haamaile]

I already have a large iPad Pro and Apple Pencil 2 but I lost the case with the keyboard. After receiving a 10th gen iPad for Christmas, I liked the smaller size and decided to keep it but I wanted a case that has a track pad and could be opened for writing with a pencil (folio style). I returned and exchange the 10th gen for an iPad Air TWICE because the Magic Keyboard cannot open flat for writing with the pencil without taking the iPad out of the case entirely. I know, it sounds crazy, but I chose the iPad based on the type of case I wanted. I ended up sticking with the 10th gen, buying a Pencil 1, and the Magic Keyboard Folio all so I can take notes in meetings. Almost returned it again because I canʻt stand the USB-C charging cable for the Apple Pencil but I have until Jan. 8 to return it if I canʻt find a work around. I did find a TiMovo standup pencil charger on Amazon that holds both pencil and cap so they donʻt get lost while charging. Will see how it all works out by the 8th!

[@riyahnichole9519]

They connected it with Apple Pencil 1 was because most people have the first gen and they were trying to keep cost down if they had made it compatible to Apple Pencil 2 then it would’ve been a higher cost

[@tsd811]

I’ve had it for just over a year now. I can confirm pretty much what you said in your closing comments. It works great as general home iPad. If you want accessories go 3rd party. We have a pencil with usb charging which works a treat for its intended use.

[@Kaiffeine]

I just bought the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil and the 10th Gen iPad. I bought it from Spectrum and they said that it was compatible!! If course it didn’t work so, I am talking to Apple support and guess what.. They’re telling me it’s still compatible! We will see after I update this iPad and follow their steps. I am in shock.

[@sincerelymdg2434]

woah looks like that one ipod touch

[@steamgenie]

The adapter that comes with the Apple pencil is too old to work on the 10th gen Ipad. I am currently doing the runaround headache on this....As I got the pencil for christmas and have yet to use it because I have to buy the adapter listed in the video. You must use the USBC to USBC cable for the 10th gen. No other cable works.

[@joselopezlugo5433]

i bought this ipad like... 3 days ago. The main reason was I had a old Ipad from 2016 and procreate was just...not working well. so I decided to buy one compatible with my 1gen apple pen... I have not been able to use it still because of the adapter thing. I had to buy one on the internet because Im from PR and it is very dificult buy these kind of specific things. So I am still waiting for it to arrive so i am able to keep working... lol

[@cheesybendy577]

I have a iPad 6th Gen.. But I'm getting the Apple watch SE Cellular because my iPad still works.

[@yungabilify]

I'm a little baffled that this new ipad doesn't have pencil 2 support, especially with the hoops they expect someone to go through to charge it. Easily the biggest dealbreaker

[@adultmoshifan87]

I’m getting one mainly so my Dad can have my iPad Air 3. His iPad Mini is vintage and can no longer run the apps he needs. My theory on why this iPad has USB-C but requires you use the Lightning-based Apple Pencil 1? Apple intend for this to be the LAST iPad to use Apple Pencil 1 so they can still get rid of all their Pencil 1s before eventually launching the iPad 11 that’ll use the Pencil 2. I have before gotten on with tech that isn’t the best: the Nokia N-Gage wasn’t a well designed cellphone but being a gamer who never had a cellphone before, keep in mind it came out just before I turned 16, it still served me well as my first phone! (When I started college in the spring of 2006, Mom felt I need a “proper” phone so she gave me her old Motorola) If I had more money, I would’ve gotten an iPad Pro. I know I don’t REALLY need all those Pro features but I mainly want it for the 1TB onboard storage, that no other iPad has! Apple could release a new iPad that goes back to the 30 pin connector and has the same screen technology as the original iPad but if it has the latest processor and 1TB onboard storage, I’d still buy it! Then again, you are hearing this from someone who recently shelled out £1,649 for a 1TB iPhone 14 Pro! (Said sum of money included £200 I won in a competition!)

[@donniebutton9887]

I love mine , Its just my couch device , my main computer is my MacBook Air M3 but they are synced together that is really nice.

[@alisabosc8303]

Hi, can you recommend a budget friendly ipad that is also good for basic-moderate admin work? Thank you!.❤

[@Themariofanboy8571]

Truly, I believe they just did this because they didn’t want to stop selling in the first Gen pen/sell less even tho they would still get sales from older ipad models

[@jamiegruta1182]

Manifesting iPad 10th gen this year ❤

[@smunguia83]

I got a great deal on a 10th gen iPad. I really wanted the 256G version, and stepping up to the iPad Air with the same memory would have cost too much money. The pencil issue is slightly inconvenient, but not enough that I can justify spending the money for the iPad air. I’m honestly more concerned about the lack of pressure sensitivity for the 1st gen pencil than the way it charges.

[@nutmeg9593]

I got mine for around $300 and a stylus for $9.00. I just needed something for the internet and resumes. It’s only been the first week but so far so good.

[@lindsaymalachi]

I agree with you. A little late. I got this ipad for Christmas along with the apple pen 2 and it won't work. I've tried buying chargers to charger the pen but it still won't connect. Irritates me !

[@AyriceWilson]

I currently have an iPad 6th generation... yes 6th! Purchased Thanksgiving 2019 so that is only three years but I want to upgrade to the iPad Pro 12-inch due to its larger screen for writing and using for scores but I am frozen because I can't fathom spending $700 more for a tablet that may last me only three years.

[@derisleybrittain]

Excellent ❤

[@hamizfun4324]

I needed an iPad and I recently got the tenth gen and it was definitely worth it 3rd party stylus’s work just fine and get the job done it’s an amazing ipad

[@l-pv5793]

Which one would you recomen for someone who wants the Apple Pencil 2? I just wanting for cute notes, music and Netflix.
