The original iPad, as is often the case with Apple products, in 2010 set the rules for the development of the entire tablet computer industry. Over time, he had versions with the Mini, Air and Pro prefixes – at first it even seemed that everyone forgot about the “standard” version of the tablet.
But Apple updates the legendary iPad every year, because according to 2021 analytics, it brings about 56% of revenue from all iPad sales.1. In this article, we will collect all the facts about what the new tenth generation iPad could be like.
iPad 10 (2022) release date in Our Country
The last three generations of the original iPad were announced exclusively on Tuesdays in mid-September. By this logic, this year Apple’s presentation with the iPad 10 (2022) will be held on September 13th.
Based on this, we can assume the release date of the iPad 10 (2022) in Our Country. Worldwide sales will begin by early October, and in Our Country, despite Apple’s restrictive policy, the tablet may be closer to the second half of the month.
Price iPad 10 (2022) in Our Country
This tablet model remains the most affordable on the market, so you definitely shouldn’t expect a radical change in the retail price. Unless there are some drastic changes in the device, it will most likely remain at its current level of $329.
The price of the iPad 10 (2022) in Our Country may increase slightly due to the lack of official sales of devices. It all depends on what mark-up the sellers of “gray” Apple technology will make.
Specifications iPad 10 (2022)
Right now, the original iPad remains a pretty interesting offering on the tablet market from well-known manufacturers. The device is bought for its good value for money, technical specifications, large screen, and also for the excellent performance of the optimized iPad OS.
Screen
Right now, the original iPad uses Apple’s simplest 10,2-inch Retina display, without the Liquid Retina or XDR technology found in more expensive models. Given the affordable price of the tablet, any changes and use of mini-LED displays in this tablet is out of the question. Here, apparently, the screen with a resolution of 2160 by 1620 pixels and a density of 264 dpi will remain the same.

Housing and appearance
Insider dylandkt says that the anniversary tenth generation of the iPad will be the last with the usual gadget design.2. After that, allegedly, Apple will completely revise the appearance of its most popular tablet.
Thus, something new in terms of design and appearance from the classic iPad should not be expected, at least this year. The iPad 10 (2022) will still have two strict body colors, a physical Home button with a built-in Touch ID sensor, and fairly wide screen bezels.
Renders or real photos of the iPad 10 are not yet available even from Western journalists and insiders.
Processor, memory, communications
The current version of the iPad with cellular does not support 5G networks, and in 2022 it does not look serious for a company like Apple. dylandkt insiders3 and Mark Gurman4 we are sure that this year the iPad 10 (2022) will receive the new Bionic A14 processor, and with it the ability to work with 5G. The same chip was used in the iPhone 12 line of smartphones.
The information from both insiders agrees that the rest of the specifications of the tenth generation iPad “will remain at the level of the iPad 9.” Now these tablets are sold with 64/128 GB of internal memory and 3 GB of RAM.
Dylandkt also adds that the tablet may support the faster Wi-Fi 6 standard and Bluetooth 5.0 protocol. Reliable Lightning for charging and syncing goes nowhere.
Camera and keyboard
The tablet received chic camera updates in version 9 – the front camera resolution was increased to 12 MP and an ultra-wide lens with the Rear View function was added there (tracks users and brings characters closer in the frame). And the main camera in all iPads except Pro models has long been not perceived by Apple engineers as something serious. Therefore, here it is clearly not worth waiting for interesting updates.
It is possible that the iPad 10 (2022) will have changes to the camera software related to the use of the A14 processor. For example, post-processing of images using machine learning technologies.
Given the rather large dimensions of the 10-inch iPad. many people use it with a keyboard case. The tenth generation iPad will most likely retain support for the standard Smart Keyboard, but for a more advanced Magic Keyboard with a touchpad, you will have to buy an iPad Pro or iPad Air.
Conclusion
Judging by the information from insiders, with the iPad of the tenth anniversary model, Apple decided to go the easy way. In such a legendary tablet for an American company, nothing really new will be shown in 2022. 5G support looks like the most interesting change for the iPad 10 (2022) so far.
Now it remains only to wait for the complete rethinking of the standard iPad announced by insiders in 2023. It is likely that Apple’s 11 tablet model will become one of the most interesting in the last few years.
