Macworld With its recent $10 price cut, the 10th-gen iPad is Apple’s best tablet value ever, with a modern design and display for just $349. However, a sale like this makes it easy to recommend: Amazon is selling the 10th-gen iPad with 64GB of storage for $300 when you apply the coupon on the page, a savings of $49, and the first time we’ve seen this iPad dip this low. The 10th-gen iPad has a similar design to the iPad Air, with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display and a flat-edge design with an aluminum back, USB-C, 12MP wide camera, landscape 12MP ultra-wide selfie cam with Center Stage, and Touch ID built into the power button. It’s not quite as powerful with an A14 chip (versus an M2), Wi-Fi 6 (versus 6E), and 64GB of storage (versus 128GB). It also has support for Apple’s older USB-C Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard Folio. In short, the 10th-gen iPad is a fantastic tablet for $349 and an insane bargain for under $300. So if you need a new iPad, go grab one and you won’t regret it. iPad06:32 pmApple shares WWDC24 schedule highlights
