Our take on the Apple iPad 10.9" 10th Generation Wi-Fi + Cellular 256GB

The 10th-generation iPad is Apple's mainstream tablet, with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, the A14 Bionic chip and an all-screen design in four colors. This version adds Wi-Fi plus cellular and 256GB of storage, so it works on mobile networks without a hotspot. The best new price is $681.99 at Staples as of November 7, 2026, with four stores listing it new. That sits high for this model, which has often sold well below its launch price, so compare the cellular 256GB tier against the Wi-Fi-only version before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the 10th-generation iPad still worth buying?
Yes for everyday use: streaming, browsing, notes and light games. If you need heavy video editing or a laminated display, step up to the iPad Air or Pro.
Do I need the cellular version?
Only if you want data away from Wi-Fi, such as commuting or travel. The Wi-Fi-only model is cheaper and you can tether from a phone.
Which Apple Pencil works with it?
The first-generation Apple Pencil, connected through a USB-C adapter. The newer USB-C Pencil also works but has fewer pressure features.
Is 256GB enough?
Yes for most people, especially with cloud storage. Choose it if you keep movies, games and photos offline; otherwise 64GB covers light use.
What comes in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charge cable and a power adapter. The Apple Pencil and keyboard cases are sold separately.
When is it cheapest?
Discounts tend to appear around major sales events and back-to-school season. The current $681.99 at Staples as of November 7, 2026 is above the model's usual street price, so it pays to compare.
