Doesn't matter if it's "fine". I'm not buying something new with a 4 year old CPU in it. Then I might as well save money and buy used instead.
That’s fine. Just make sure your used purchase costs less than $299. At that price, risk is very low in buying the 10th-gen iPad. Even if you only get three or four years out of the device.

meh. I don't care what purchase decisions others make. As long as Apple continues to offer a "bargain" option, I'm hanging around. But I DO want to help (those who are considering the bargain option) have a better perspective than the default FOMO approach to things.

The M1 iPad Air is on sale at Walmart for $399. I think the upgrades are worth the $100 price difference (faster performance, laminated display with better colors and antireflective coating, double the ram, 2nd gen Apple Pencil support, Magic Keyboard support)

Agree 100% this is a great deal! It's crazy how many websites are pulling 2GB RAM just to load so open a few tabs your favourite apps and some games and forget it the 10th gen iPad is struggling already...
 
It's one reason why I don't want to chuck my iPad Air 2.

It has a headphone jack, no adapters.

At this point I have so many lightning cables, I'm good on charging for years.
It is a shame that Macs are still made with headphone jacks, but iPads (and for that matter, iPhones) no longer are.
 
It was time😂 Just got back from Best Buy... good trade-in values for my 256GB 5th gen iPad Mini and 64GB 9th gen. Price-matched Amazon. Ended up with a 64GB silver 10th gen and white smart folio for $10 out of pocket total. Simple and easy.

How do you like the white case? Does it collect finger prints and smudging easily? If yes, can they be cleaned easily? I have the blue iPad 10 and am thinking the white folio would be quite a nice pairing with it. Would you buy it again if you had to?

I'm loving the white case. It was a bold move. I was originally going to go with a blue iPad 10 and blue smart folio, but the blues didn't really go together, so I went with a silver iPad 10 and white case. It is super clean looking and has a retro vibe to it.

It doesn't collect fingerprints nor smudges. Considering it is made of material similar as the smartcover I had for my 9th gen (which was easy to keep clean), I don't expect this case to behave any differently.

I think the blue iPad with the white Smart Folio will also have a nice retro vibe. Thank you for the reply. Blessings. 1 Jn 4:10

Just got the white. Looks great.
