Our take on the Apple iPad 10.9-inch (10th Generation) 256GB Wi-Fi

The 10th-generation iPad is Apple's redesigned entry tablet: flat edges, a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina screen, USB-C and a landscape front camera. It runs the A14 Bionic chip, which handles browsing, streaming, notes and light editing comfortably but trails the M-series iPad Air and Pro. Its big draw is the modern design and USB-C at the bottom of Apple's lineup; its main compromises are the older chip, first-generation Apple Pencil support through a dongle, and a non-laminated display. It suits students, families and casual users who want a full iPad without paying Air or Pro money.

What reviewers say

Reviewers call it the best-looking base iPad in years and a solid pick for everyday use, but many say the price gap to the iPad Air makes the older chip and non-laminated screen hard to justify. Owners like the USB-C port, battery life and Center Stage camera.

What people mention
  • PerformanceMixedReviewers say the A14 Bionic is fine for apps and games but noticeably behind the M1 in the iPad Air for heavier work.
  • DisplayMixedOwners praise the size and sharpness but note the non-laminated panel reflects more light and lacks the Air's anti-reflective coating.
  • BatteryPraisedUsers report all-day battery life for browsing, video and note-taking.
  • Pencil supportCriticisedReviewers dislike that the first-generation Apple Pencil pairs and charges through a dongle and separate cable.
  • DesignPraisedThe flat-edge design, color options and USB-C port are widely liked as a step up from the previous base iPad.
  • AccessoriesCriticisedOwners say the Magic Keyboard Folio and Pencil add significant cost, narrowing the gap to the iPad Air.

Questions and answers

Is the 10th-generation iPad worth it over the iPad Air?
If you mainly stream, browse and take notes, the base iPad covers it. The iPad Air buys the M1 chip, a laminated display and second-generation Pencil support for people doing more demanding work.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
It supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, but you need a USB-C to Apple Pencil adapter to pair and charge it. The second-generation Pencil does not fit.
Is 256GB enough?
Yes for most people. It leaves room for photos, offline video and a few large games; 64GB fills up fast if you download a lot of media.
Does it have a headphone jack?
No. It has USB-C only, so wired headphones need a USB-C adapter or USB-C headphones.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charge cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.
Can it replace a laptop?
For writing, email, browsing and light editing, yes, especially with a keyboard. For heavy multitasking or desktop software, an iPad Air or a laptop is the better fit.
