Apple has been pretty consistent in updating its entry-level iPad every year.
The update typically consists of a minor spec bump while maintaining the same price.
Compatible Accessories
One of the more controversial changes to the 10th-generation iPad is how it handles accessories.

Until this point, it was pretty obvious to figure outwhich Apple Pencil your iPad supports.
If it had a flat-edged design, it would support the second-generation Apple Pencil.
It also has a new Magic Keyboard Folio to make things more confusing.

Thankfully, you’ll still get both the USB-C charging cable and power adapter in the box.
So, even if you’ve never owned a USB-C machine before, you’ll be all set.
But there are manyreasons to choose a cellular iPad.

For example, only cellular iPads have built-in GPS.
Touch ID
Both the 9th and 10th-gen iPads use Touch ID for biometric authentication.
On the 9th generation iPad, the Touch ID sensor is built into the familiar Home button.

This is similar to the latest generation iPad Air and iPad mini.
It still works the same way, but it just has a new home.
If anything, the 10th-gen iPad looks in line with the rest of the iPad lineup.

Processor
At this point, does processing power really matter?
Especially on the baseline iPad?
Note that both prices are for the Wi-Fi-only 64GB storage models.

Again, both prices assume you want 64GB of storage.
