Apple on Tuesday released new iPads that will give us plenty to talk about for weeks to come (fave.co/3DnrF6H). The new 10th-generation iPad is a complete redesign that brings it in line with the Air and mini, and the new iPad Pro is the fastest tablet ever made, with an M2 processor and Wi-Fi 6E. In simple terms, Apple's new tablets are its strongest ever, bringing more options for consumers at both ends of the spectrum.
But buying an iPad is also more confusing than ever. Apple now has five different iPad lines starting at $329 and going all the way up to $2,000-plus.
Here's how the models break down:
iPad (9th generation, 64GB): $329
iPad (9th generation, 256GB): $479
iPad (10th generation, 64GB): $479
iPad mini (64GB): $499
iPad (10th generation, 256GB): $599
iPad Air (64GB): $599
iPad mini (256GB): $649
iPad Air (256GB): $749)
iPad Pro (11-inch, 128GB): $799
iPad Pro (11-inch, 256GB): $899
iPad Pro (11-inch, 512GB): $1,099
iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 128GB): $1,099
iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 256GB): $1,199
iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 512GB): $1,399
iPad Pro (11-inch, 1TB): $1,499
iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 1TB): $1,799
iPad Pro (11-inch, 2TB): $1,899
iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 2TB): $2,199
And those prices don't even account for the cellular options, which add $200 to the iPad Pro, $150 to the 10th-gen iPad, iPad Air, and iPad mini, and $130 to the 9th-gen iPad. Nor does it account for the fact that 64GB of storage isn't really enough for a device that's supposed to be a "computer."
