Apple is finally showing the world a line of new iPads; more specifically, the company’s first tablets feature the upgraded M2 chipset, which itself debuted in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro earlier this June.
The M2 iPad Pro line is a direct follow-up to last year’s models, both of which use Apple’s M1 chipset and can come with 11-inch or 12.9-inch displays.
We also introduced a new 10th-generation base iPad that says goodbye to the Lightning port and Home button, with a design closer to the iPad Air and powered by the A14 chipset.
Other than that, here’s everything on the new iPad because it’s happening.
It’s another Apple launch day, and the most memorable news seems to be the reintroduction of fun and vibrant colors to Apple’s product line. The new iPad (2022) looks great, has powerful feature updates, and even holds the camera in the right place for good video calls.
The new iPads are available for pre-order now. We hope to have a full review of all new Apple devices soon, and we’ll let you know if these are the best iPads Apple has ever made, or if you’re better off finding deals on older tablets.
Of course, the addition of the M2 chip to the iPad Pro lineup is the most important technological development, but we’ll have to wait and see how it affects the new iPad OS 16. Screens and running multiple apps are coming soon, and these will greatly benefit from the M2 chip.

We’re also curious to see how much the Neural Engine upgrade will help the iPad OS. Google relies heavily on its machine learning capabilities in its Tensor G2 chipset, a platform that will soon appear on tablet devices. It’s unclear how much of a boost iPad OS gets from the Neural Engine, and which features benefit.
Lightning today is one step closer to becoming history. Not only did Apple remove Lightning from the regular base model iPad, it also removed the port from the new Apple TV 4K remote!
That’s right, as of today, the Apple TV’s Siri Remote has more advanced connectivity ports than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Hopefully we can finish and ship the book soon: we’re ready for USB-C everywhere.
More news keeps coming out about these iPad models, which won’t hit store shelves until next Wednesday, October 26. We’ll be constantly updating our stories with hands-on reviews with these exciting new tablets, so keep subscribing to us.
Of course, we can’t forget the new Apple TV 4K that Apple sneaked in next to the big new iPad. The new Apple TV gets better HDR support with HDR10+, a format similar to the Dolby Vision format the device already handles. Inside is the Apple Bionic A15 chip, and if it’s good enough to power the iPhone 14, it’s certainly good enough to run the streaming box.
The remote is a slight upgrade, as it ditches the Lightning port and charges via USB-C. Another nail in the coffin of the Lightning port, as there are two previous Lightning devices using USB-C today, in the Apple TV remote (well, it’s an odd bend) and the tenth-generation iPad.
We still think the remote could get a better upgrade. The Apple TV 4K comes with one of the easiest remotes to lose of any streaming device we’ve tried. It is ergonomically designed to slide between the sofa cushions.
While the 10th-generation iPad (2022) is fresh and refreshed this year, the iPad Pro (2022) is a little better at doing what it can already do. For example, it can already shoot video, but now the new M2 chip can shoot 4K video in Apple ProRes format.
The iPad Pro already works with the Apple Pencil 2, but now it has a special trick. It can detect when the pencil is hovering up to 12mm away, and it does… stuff. It does artistic stuff and it also makes the textbox bigger? Apple is not very clear, but we have ideas.
For example, what if a hover action could show the text of an email without opening it, just hovering over the preview? What if it could show you a larger preview of the image in the gallery without opening it full screen? What if you could open a day in the calendar just by hovering the pencil over it?
These are great features we loved about a decade ago when Samsung started using hover on phones, including the Galaxy Note II. That phone uses a stylus, but it doesn’t require battery charging, it’s not overcharged, it’s free.
Samsung finally even got rid of the smartphone’s hover, without the need for a stylus. The Galaxy S4 simply hovers your finger over the phone to use this feature, called Air View. The feature set has become quite extensive. We’ll see if Apple goes beyond the basics of hovering over the Apple Pencil.
Those new 10th-gen iPads look funky in gorgeous new colors, though we’re not sure if the blue is as vibrant as Apple says in the announcement title. At least it won’t make us sad. We especially love the pinks and yellows seen above.
Today’s iPad has another surprise, but the iPad (2022) doesn’t. 9th-gen iPad (2021) prices have changed, but not in the direction we’re guessing。
We’re not going to speculate on global currency fluctuations, but needless to say we consider it timeless advice that you can rely on the old product dropping in price when the new product arrives. This is a rare instance that defies the rule.
