Is the 256GB iPad 10th generation worth it over the 64GB model?

Yes if you store movies, games or offline files. The 64GB base model fills up quickly, and the 256GB version leaves room for years of apps and photos.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil?

It works with the first-generation Apple Pencil, which needs a USB-C to Apple Pencil adapter to pair and charge. The second-generation Pencil and USB-C Pencil do not work with this model.

How does it compare with the iPad Air?

The iPad Air has the M-series chip, a laminated 120Hz display and support for the second-generation Apple Pencil. This iPad is cheaper and fine for everyday tasks but has a 60Hz screen and older chip.

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

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates it at about 10 hours of web browsing or video. Heavy gaming or bright screens will shorten that.

Base iPads usually drop around back-to-school season and Black Friday. The current best new price is $579.99 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026.
