Is the 10th-generation iPad worth it over the iPad Air?

For streaming, browsing, notes and video calls, yes: it covers the basics well. The Air adds a faster M-series chip, a laminated display and support for the newer Pencil, which matters if you draw or edit video.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil?

It works with the first-generation Apple Pencil, which pairs and charges through an adapter and a cable. The newer USB-C Pencil and the second-generation Pencil do not work with this model.

For streaming, browsing and cloud photos, yes. If you download movies, shoot a lot of video or keep many large games, the 64GB model fills quickly.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates it at up to 10 hours of web browsing or video on Wi-Fi. Owners generally report a full day of mixed use.

The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.

Does it have a headphone jack or Face ID?

No headphone jack; use USB-C or Bluetooth headphones. It uses Touch ID in the top button rather than Face ID.
