That of the “standard” iPad was one of the most anticipated renewals (in the sense that practically everyone expected it to be produced) and although without action this time, Apple finally sent it to us. The tenth generation iPad, which will be known as the iPad of late 2022, is now official (and you can’t say that it will surprise you, because we already told you yesterday that its arrival was very close) and it comes with interesting changes, both externally and internally. So we’ll start this review with the visible face and then jump into its interior.

Aesthetically, the change is more than evident. On the one hand, and as is already the case with other devices of the brand, the iPad 2022 comes loaded with colors, with the back is made of recycled aluminum and available in four colors: silver, yellow, red and blue, compared to the classic space gray and silver of the previous generation. In this regard, as a personal anecdote, a friend bought an iPad 2021 just a few weeks ago, and when they saw the new colors, the demons took it for not expecting.

We also see changes in its design and now the edges are straight, bringing its design closer to that of the iPhone. However, the most notable thing about its exterior, which has a direct impact on the user experience, is its 10.9-inch screen compared to 10.2 on the previous model. Something that is also more meritorious considering that its dimensions have hardly been modified. with the new model’s 24.86 x 17.95 x 0.70 centimeters compared to 25.06 x 17.41 x 0.75 centimeters for the 2021 model.

This is achieved, you must have already noticed, reducing the size of the screen frame, mainly at the top and mainly at the bottom, with the Home button removed. Don’t let this make you think about switching from Touch ID to Face ID. The iPad 2022 continues to use a fingerprint as a biometric identification system, but e.g.The sensor moves to the unlock button, the location you’re already using on iPad Air. In addition, the front camera leaves its classic location, the top bezel, and is placed on the side.

Ipad 2022 without leaving its True Tone screen, LED with IPS technology makes the leap from Retina to Liquid Retina with a resolution of 2,360 x 1,640 pixels in a density of 264 pixels per inch, with a brightness of 500 nits, and which has an oleophobic coating against fingerprints, which was already present in the previous generation. And whether you’re using it or thinking about buying one, it’s compatible with Apple Pencil.

We can already see it inside this iPad 2022 is powered by Apple A14 Bionic SoC. Again, we see a jump compared to its predecessor, but this is not the point at which Apple decided to bet on the most modern solution, because we are talking about an integrated solution that came to light in 2020, in the bowels of the iPhone 12 and that it jumped to the tablets of those from Cupertino in iPad Air of the same year, 2020, and it surprisingly offered better performance on a tablet than on a smartphone. As is usual with Apple, he did not specify the amount of integrated RAM, but the available storage capacity, 64 and 256 gigabytes.

When it comes to connectivity, all models have Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2and in the model with cellular connectivity we find another important development because this iPad 2022 has 5G connectivity. Apple states that there is no difference in the autonomy of the previous model and the current one, which is estimated at 10 hours, although in this case the battery is 28.6 watt hours, compared to 32.4 for the previous model.

While I’ve never personally found the iPad to be the most practical device for photography, there’s no doubt that its cameras are another important feature for many users. In the back part we find the o sensor Ultra wide-angle 12 megapixels, number f/1.8with autofocus, image stabilization and intelligent HDR 3. As for the front side, which jumps from the top to the side (unless you usually use it in a horizontal position, in which case you will perceive the change in the opposite direction), we find another ultra-wide angle, this one with a 122º field of view, also 12 megapixels, but somewhat less bright (f/2.4).

New iPad 2022 you can book nowr on the Apple website and deliveries will begin this month on October 26. As for their prices, and as you’d expect, we’re seeing an increase over the previous generation.
