IPad (10th generation)

The 10th-generation iPad, also referred to as iPad 10.9 inch and iPad 10, is an entry-level tablet computer that was announced by Apple in a press release with a pre-recorded video on October 18, 2022. It became available for pre-order on the same day and is scheduled to be released on October 26th.

Features
This iPad features an updated form factor resembling the 5th-generation iPad Air, but with a less expensive Apple A14 processor in place of the Apple M1 from the Air. It is also the last iPad model to phase out the home button, though like the Air, it uses a power button at the top of the bezel for Touch ID. The FaceTime camera was moved to the side to favor user eye focus when in landscape mode. However, the bezel also lacks the magnetic pairing and inductive charging capabilities of the Air that is needed to support a 2nd-generation Apple Pencil, so a 1st-generation Apple Pencil must still be used with an included USB-C to Lightning adapter to pair it and charge it from the USB-C port of the 10-generation iPad.

Accessories
Accessories from Apple for the 10th-generation iPad include:
 * Magic Keyboard Folio for iPad
 * Smart Folio

As the Smart Connector has been moved from the back to the side of the bezel, the 10th-generation iPad is not compatible with smart accessories designed for 10.9-inch iPad Airs and 11-inch iPad Pros.
