Our take on the Apple iPad (10th Generation, 2022) 10.9" Wi-Fi + Cellular 256GB MQ6U3LL/A

The 10th-generation iPad is Apple's full-screen entry tablet, with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, the A14 Bionic chip and a flat-edge design in four colors. This version adds Wi-Fi 6 and 5G cellular plus 256GB of storage, so it works on the move without relying on a hotspot. It sits above the older 9th-generation iPad on screen size and design but below the iPad Air, which has the M1 chip and a laminated display. Reviewers call it a solid all-round tablet for streaming, notes and light editing; owners like the battery life and the USB-C port, while many complain that it only works with the first-generation Apple Pencil and needs an adapter to charge it.

Questions and answers

Is the 10th-generation iPad worth it over the 9th generation?
Yes for most buyers. The 10th generation gives you a larger all-screen display, a faster chip, USB-C and a newer design. The 9th generation is cheaper but keeps the older home-button design and Lightning port.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
It supports only the first-generation Apple Pencil, which pairs and charges through an adapter or a USB-C cable. The second-generation Pencil and the USB-C Pencil do not work with it.
How does it compare with the iPad Air?
The Air has the M1 chip, a laminated display with wide color and support for the second-generation Pencil. This iPad is fine for streaming, notes and browsing but slower for heavy editing.
Do I need a data plan for the cellular model?
Yes. The cellular model takes a nano-SIM or eSIM and needs a carrier data plan to go online away from Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi 6 still works at home and on public networks.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charge cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. The Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio are sold separately.
Is 256GB enough?
For most people, yes. It holds a large app and media library, plus downloaded video for trips. Choose it over 64GB if you keep lots of games, photos or offline video.
