![]() The iPad Air supports the 2nd-gen Pencil, which magnetically attaches to the side of the iPad to charge and is more comfortable to use. If you want to use an Apple Pencil all the time, the choice here is pretty clear. We’re not very big fans of the new feature–it needs a lot of work–but if it eventually becomes great it will probably remain out of reach for the 10th-generation iPad. It’s also worth noting that Stage Manager, a new multitasking feature in iPadOS 16.1, is only available on recent iPad Pro models and the iPad Air with an M-series processor. If you create a lot of digital artwork in apps with custom brushes or do video editing, you will probably appreciate the M1’s extra muscle. If you primarily use your iPad for surfing the web, taking notes, email, social media, and the like, the M1 is overkill. It’s got two more high-performance CPU cores, double the GPU cores, more RAM, and media engines to speed up the encoding of H.264 and HEVC video. While the M1 processor in the iPad Air is based on the same general architecture as the A14, it’s way more powerful. Probably the biggest difference is in the processor. Wi‑Fi 6, optional 5G (sub-6 GHz), Bluetooth 5.0īlue, Purple, Pink, Starlight, Space GrayĪs you can see, despite their physical similarities, there are quite a few differences, some more significant than others. Wi‑Fi 6, optional 5G (sub-6 GHz), Bluetooth 5.2 The landscape orientation is much better for video calling so if that's something you're planning to do a lot of with your iPad, the 10th gen model is the better option.2360‑by‑1640 resolution, 500 nits, sRGB, True ToneĢ360‑by‑1640 resolution, 500 nits, P3 color, True Tone, fully laminatedġ2MP Ultra Wide, ƒ/2.4, Center Stage, landscape orientation Both the 10th gen model and the 9th gen model have a 12-megapixel sensor with f/2.4 aperture and the company's Centre Stage feature, though the 10th gen model moves the front camera to a landscape position on the right edge, while the 9th gen model has it at the top of the display like the other models in the range. There are also differences in the front camera. ![]() Both are compatible with the first generation of Apple Pencil, though you will need an adapter to charge the Apple Pencil with the iPad (10th generation) as the Pencil uses Lightning to charge.Īlong with the upgrade in processor and switch to USB-C, the iPad (10th generation) also upgrades the rear camera from an 8-megapixel snapper found on the 9th gen model to a 12-megapixel sensor, capable of 4K video recording. The iPad (10th generation) switches to USB-C for charging though, while the iPad (9th generation) has Lightning. Both are available through Apple, as well as various other retailers.īoth the iPad (10th generation) and the iPad (9th generation) are offered in 64GB and 256GB storage options though and they both promise up to 10 hours of battery life for web browsing or watching video. It's therefore quite a bit cheaper than the iPad (10th generation). Again, that's for the 64GB, Wi-Fi only model. The iPad (9th generation) meanwhile, starts at $329 in the US and £369 in the UK. ![]() The iPad (10th generation) starts at $449 in the US and £499 in the UK. With the iPad (9th generation) remaining in the iPad portfolio as the entry-level model and the iPad (10th generation) sliding in between the 9th gen model and the iPad Air (2022), which iPad should you buy? We've detailed how the iPad (10th generation) compares to the iPad Air (2022) in a separate feature, but here we are focused on how the iPad (10th generation) compares to the cheaper, but older, iPad (9th generation). With that comes a cost though, making it quite a bit more expensive than its predecessor, the iPad (9th generation). Apple's iPad (10th generation) arrived in October 2022 and it sees an upgrade in design, an upgrade in processor and it makes a logical change to the front camera position too. ![]()
