- Design: It follows the design language of newer iPad models, featuring flat edges and a minimalist aesthetic, making it feel modern and premium. The device is available in four colors: Blue, Pink, Yellow, and Silver.
Performance

- Storage: The iPad is available in two storage options, 64GB and 256GB. This storage is sufficient for daily tasks, app usage, photos, videos, and documents.
Camera
- Rear Camera: The iPad 10th generation comes with a 12MP Wide camera, which is a step up from previous models. This camera is capable of 4K video recording and features advanced photo modes, making it suitable for casual photography and video recording.
- Front Camera: The front-facing 12MP Ultra-Wide camera supports Center Stage, an intelligent feature that automatically adjusts the framing of video calls, making it easier to stay in the frame as you move around during calls or meetings.
Battery Life

Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard
- The iPad 10th generation is compatible with the Apple Pencil (1st generation) via a lightning to USB-C adapter and supports Smart Keyboard Folio, which attaches magnetically to the iPad for an easier typing experience. However, note that it does not support the more advanced Apple Pencil 2nd generation due to the lack of a magnetic charging port.
Connectivity
- Wi-Fi and Cellular Options: The iPad 10th generation offers two connectivity options:
- Wi-Fi only: A more affordable option for those who will use it primarily at home or in places with available Wi-Fi.
