10th gen iPad (2022)

As for M2 iPad Pro - FUBAR - sorry, that’s too harsh, but they slap in an M2 processor and call it a day? Really Apple? No wonder to event for this year…you could have at least made the Folio work with it…

Well SCRATCH the iPad 10 as well - it uses the FIRST GENERATION PENCIL and requires buying a charging adapter case - W T F - are we scraping the bottom of the supply barrel on BOTH regular and pro models…

I didn’t think Apple could ever best MS in a “meh” contest, but today proved me wrong. The iPad Gen 10 packs a landscape camera (!!!) and new Magic Keyboard Folio, which is clearly a Surface Pro/Logitech Combo Touch design ripoff, but with the usual Apple design flair (magnetic back attachment of kickstand, and I’m sure the keyboard is a winner). It is the ONLY bright spot in today’s yawner of an Apple series of releases. But even then, the iPad10 is hobbled with Pencil 1 support - what’s with that - too many still sitting in the warehouse gathering dust?

Yes, I am being an a$$, but I am so disappointed on so many levels. Bring that landscape camera and Magic Keyboard Folio to the M2 iPad Pro and you have a double, maybe triple, but right now it is at best a walk.

Maybe Logitech will get it right for the iPad Pro…

It’s also a substantial markup for the entry-level iPad: $449 starting for the 2022 model, up from $329 for the 2020 model.

Suddenly, the Surface Go is a comparative bargain.

Microsoft may have held off on the Go 4 launch for several good reasons, and Apple’s iPad price increase may have been one of the big ones.
