Hands-On With Apple's New 10th-Generation iPad and M2 iPad Pro

In my little corner of Europe the base 12.9" iPad is $1480 (including tax). The cheapest M2 Macbook Air is $1300 (including tax). the Air has a keyboard and double the storage.
There has to be more than inflation and a weak EUR to this pricing.

I’m interested to check out hover. A lot of other devices have had a useful stylus hover experience imoEven with the M2 you still can't run macOS, this would be the killer app for the iPad now that you have hover.
Just the lackluster quality control Apple has nkw days. Check your iPads in the sunlight everyone. There are what I would consider a lot of defects in these.
I don’t get the anger about the limited updates on the IPP. Why would there be annual significant updates in form or function? Does not happen for the iPhone or Mac line-up either. I’d expect these every 3 years or so. I upgraded my 2017 10.5” IPP with the latest M2 12.9” IPP and it is a MASSIVE upgrade for me!
I’m gonna hold out for the 16in iPad with M2 chip, multiple usb-C ports, and pro motion technology, and non-detachable keyboard.
But the most important tips about the new ipad 10 generation
that nobody speak
Yes you can use the apple pen 1st generation but how we do to connect the pen 1st in lightening to the New ipad 10 with USBC ????? !!!! For the 1st use and to charge the pen
🤬🧐🤬🥸🥸🥸😐😒🤯

There are lots of lightning female/female adapters out there. Easiest thing for the pencil is to just forego the iPad charging and just charge off a regular lightning charger. I have an older iPad Pro and hate the pencil charging off the iPad. Precarious as hell.
I had been considering an iPad upgrade.
I ran a test on which is the most useful on recent overseas trips; took my M1 MBA and slab.
The M1 MBA was the only device used. So for me at least, I'm waiting for the next MBA release (next year).
I am wondering if Apple will offer a MBA where the keyboard can be folded right back over, like some existing laptop models allow.

I say this on every apple portable thread but my god, why does the air line still exist?!…. Air is a meaningless term. It meant something when the new ultra thin laptops came out aeons ago and the first thin iPads but now? It just makes no sense. Mac an iPad and an iPad Pro with various configurations in between and do the same with the laptops. Simplifyyyyy! I swear apple just like’s to be annoying
How I understand it.
6 iPads (or 5 with one having two sizes)
Wifi or Cellular
Multiple SSD sizes.

Plenty of people have plenty of money and still don't just buy the most expensive thing available, because they don't see value.
It would a good win for me.
Example:
On my MBA, I run two WhatsApp installations (one for business, one for personal). iPad won't do that.
I agree with many of the reviewers, the iPad 10 is just weird. I understand they kept the Pencil 1 so they could also keep the non-laminated screen to keep cost down, but it didn't help them keep cost down enough. Glad I picked up the Air 4 (for my parents) when it went down to $399.
In some parts of the world, where their currencies have grown weaker compared to the dollar due to things that Apple has no control over, the price for that iPad HAS risen. So, I guess it’s not so much “no longer low cost” but “my currency is no longer valuable enough to purchase what I would have previously considered a fair value for Apple products” maybe?
Yes, they generally sell twice as many iPads as Macs in a given year. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but always more units of iPads (they’re generally cheaper). They sell SO many of those cheaper devices that, per quarter, the revenue is roughly the same between iPads and Macs.

Right, but those folks aren’t being “upsold” from the cheapest iPad. They have the entire range to choose from freely. Any “upselling” is happening in their heads.
