The iPad (10th generation) was Apple's biggest redesign of the entry-level tablet in years — the home button is gone, Touch ID moves to the power button, and the bezels shrink to match the iPad Air's look. The 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display is noticeably larger than the previous 10.2-inch model.
It's also the first base iPad with USB-C, ending years of Lightning-port inconsistency across Apple's tablet lineup. The A14 Bionic chip — a step down from the Air's M1 but still comfortably capable — handles everyday multitasking, note-taking, and casual gaming without issue.
For anyone upgrading from an older iPad with a home button, the landscape-only front camera placement is the one adjustment worth knowing about before buying: it's optimized for video calls in landscape orientation, not portrait.
