The 10th generation iPad is the first of the devices presented by Apple. The biggest change here is the revamped design which refers to the already known design from the latest generation of iPad Pro I Ipad mini. Apple describes it as “frameless”. Well, anyone with reasonably good eyesight will find it over the top.
10th generation iPad: new design, but old stylus
The new iPad has a larger, 10.9 inch display. Unfortunately, this is not a ProMotion screen, but a panel Liquid retina with 60 Hz refresh. Its resolution is 2360 x 1640 pixels. The maximum brightness is in turn 500 rivets.
Other changes followed the new design. The “normal” iPad no longer has a “Home” button with a fingerprint reader. The scanner has been moved to the start button on the top edge of the device.

Another novelty, already known from the iPad Pro, is the application USB-C portwhich he replaced Lightning. Of course, this decision can be applauded. The problem is that Apple hasn’t avoided a certain nonsense (the company has already accustomed us to this kind of setback). The thing is, the 10th generation iPad does not support the second generation Apple Pencil, only the first. This, in turn, can only be charged via the Lightning connector. So a situation arose where, in order to connect the stylus to the iPad (for example to recharge the pen), we need to get a USB-C to Lightning adapter.
The 10th generation iPad has Apple 14 bionic chip. This is an efficient unit, but not the last, which drives, among other iPhones 12. This does not change donethat the Apple tablet shouldn’t have any major performance issues.
The device is also equipped with a front and rear camera. Both have a resolution of 12 megapixels. In the case of the webcam for video calls there was also the Center Stage function. Also new is Bluetooth support in version 5.3.
