iPad 2022 (10th generation) specs, price and reviews

Technical sheet

More than design!

The iPad 10 adopts new guidelines that stick with the rest of Apple's tablets: straighter edges and thinner borders. Ultimately, customers can choose between four different colors: silver, blue, pink and yellow. The format is quite light (count less than 50 g on the scale) and therefore mobile by nature, which fits perfectly with Cupertino's value proposition for this iPad 10.

A notable change should be noted in terms of orientation: the camera is now installed on the widest side of the screen. So you can make your FaceTime calls as if nothing had happened, replacing your MacBook at short notice. Moreover, note that the buttons are also installed on the edge and that Apple has chosen aluminum for the shell. You will therefore need silicone protection in the event of an impact; we are not surean Apple Watch Ultra in titanium.

Here are the exact dimensions of the iPad (2022): 248.6mm x 179.5mm x 7mm. Yes, it's thinner than an iPhone 14 Pro Max!

Our opinion on the design of the iPad 10: finally an improved appearance, after more than ten years of good and loyal service for the iPad range!

Tenth generation iPad screen

The iPad 10 offers a 10.9-inch display, more than previously. Unfortunately, there is no laminated screen here so reflections in the sun are more present than with an iPad Pro which has one. It's a real shame for a tablet costing almost 600 euros, but what do you expect. On a daily basis, the interface nevertheless remains pleasant to use and the colors are bright when necessary, the dark mode also doing the job very well.

Finally, on the technical sheet side of the screen, note that the iPad 10 panel is also resistant to fingerprints. But it’s quite a gadget feature, you have to admit.

Our opinion on the iPad 10 screen: 8/10

Wired or wireless connectivity

The iPad 10 connects to the web via Wi-Fi or via mobile data, if you opt for the paid option that lets you insert a SIM card into the tablet.

We also find the possibility of using an external keyboard and floating windows, which is very practical for multitasking and for productivity in the office. With this, the functionalityStage Manageroffers a very efficient app management system that has nothing to envy of a computer running macOS.

Apple has also included services for entertainment. For us, this is the primary purpose of an iPad 10 (otherwise, for work, turn to the iPad Air or iPad Pro). Among these platforms, we can notably citeAppleTV+.

The best iPad since 2010?

The only downsides: too high a price, and perhaps too limited file transfer speed via the USB-C port. Indeed, don't expect to exceed 500 Mb per second here, which means that no improvement has taken place with the abandonment of the Lightning port.
