The base model iPad offers great value, according to Avi Greengart, a consumer tech analyst at Techsponential. It is highly versatile and compatible, with a wide range of accessories and iPad-specific software available for use. It can be used for various purposes such as watching content, browsing the internet, gaming, and education. The iPad is also suitable for productivity tasks and light computing.
The iPad offers the same suite of features as the more expensive iPad Pro and iPad Air models, but in a more lightweight form factor and with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina, True Tone display. It is also available in additional colors, such as pink, blue, and yellow.
The A14 Bionic processor, USB-C support, 5G support, and a new 12MP ultra-wide camera make last year’s iPad a budget-friendly option, according to June Wan. However, it is important to note that this model does not support the 2nd-gen Apple Pencil, so a dongle will be required for use.
Overall, the iPad 2022 (10th Gen) has been positively reviewed, with some considering it to be better than the Pro in two ways.
