What to Expect From Apple's 10th-Generation Low-Cost iPad: Higher-Cost
Not as many as used the 3.5mm headphone jack on a regular basis, I’m sure. 🧐
Didn’t we get an extremely similar post a few days ago?
Yeah, it felt a bit repetitive for me as well. I am personally more interested in the next iPad Pro. Hopefully MacRumors can get fresh leaks about those soon.
Is the A14 definite? I wouldn't be surprised to see A15.
It's still "behind" (in the sense that A16 iPhones will launch at the same time) but preserves the relative competence of each iPad. In the past iPad would have lagged at A14 so that iPad Air could have A16 and preserve a gap, but now that iPad Air (unexpectedly) was promoted to M1, this is less of a concern.

This is the interesting one this year for me, stick with the bezels and home button, or change it to match its family members?
So you were saying?

Manufacturing an all-new design adds significant cost to production. Also, expect some incredible updates and capabilities that will really enhance the overall experience. The price will still offer budget-minded customers remarkable value.
I'd already be happy with the external display support-part (whether mirrored, ipad screen off or extended) without the other functionality.
These iPads are used by schools and universities everywhere. Students have tons of need for the rear camera in the classroom and laboratory.
must suck having a lack of imagination.
you use it mostly for the same sort of tasks as your phone. IN some cases the bigger screen can make it more desirable. And I think the other overriding benefit is you don't have to switch devices to take a pic. ie if you're already on your iPad then it's handy. And remember kids might not have a smartphone. When my kid was under 10 he just had an iPad. And at least in the case of the Air or Pro or even Mini, the camera might be better than the one on your smartphone if you carry an older iPhone or SE.
Cameras nowadays are useful tools. Having one on your computing device is powerful.
To me "major design changes" doesn't seem like the right expression.
I don't see gradually upgrading the cheap model to make it more like the expensive models as a (major) design change.
The (major) design change already happened years ago.
IT's more like "Base iPad gets more Pro-like" or "Base iPad gets Air form factor and features." ...you get the idea. Someone can do better I'm sure.

You don't need doesn't mean the customers don't need. The market for iPad requires video conferences a lot.
Some things I've learned after a decade of using the iPad as my primary device. An ipad without a headphone jack is absolutely useless 90% of the places I go with it. Square edges are not as comfortable to hold in your hand for extended periods of time as round edges, and case designs don't help. USB-C is much more useful than lightning in allowing the connection of other drives and devices. But an ipad with power rivaling an MBP/A but without the ability to run Final Cut Pro or Logic means I'm buying the Macbook, not the iPad Pro. The Mini is the most useful size of iPad, small enough to be truly mobile while big enough to draw, annotate, and make all phones seem cramped. Voip integration in iPadOS is still halfassed and incomplete after all this time. The iPad, for all its connectivity, power and cost, is apparently still unfit to drive an Apple Watch. How embarrassing for it. The physical home button with fingerprint reader was the most reliable and efficient way of interacting with an iPad of all, and gives the user an immediate visual cue of where the otherwise invisible side buttons will be, and removing it was a mistake. Apple Pencil 1 was nice but had a ridiculous charging interface. Apple Pencil 2 has a cheap look & feel and charges in a way that prohibits fitment of a useful case on a mini. Make Pencil 3 well like Pencil 1, but able to charge by mounting it magnetically on the face of the bezel or with a female USB-C port so it can be plugged in to charge with any standard usb-c cable. The iPad gives the impression that no one at Apple actually used iPads for anything.
