According to foreign media sources familiar with the matter, Apple is ready to replace the entry-level iPad 10th generation update in the fall of 2022, which will be equipped with A14 Bionic chip, 5G mobile network, and will also be replaced with USB-C specifications, which will completely change the iPad series from Lightning to USB-C jack. This article will sort out the focus of iPad 10th generation upgrades.
Exterior styling design
According to foreign media sources, Apple is preparing to launch the iPad (10th generation), with the internal code name J272. As for whether the appearance will continue to use the old design, or will it usher in a major change? At present, there are also CAD design drawings flowing out in advance, confirming that the new iPad will adopt a new design, and will be uniformly switched to a flat frame shape similar to the iPad Air, iPad mini or iPad Pro.
10.9-inch screen
According to people familiar with the matter, the screen of the new iPad (10th generation) will be upgraded to the same level of Retina display as the iPad Air, and the screen resolution can reach 2360 x 1640. The first-generation iPad (9th generation) was only equipped with a 10.2-inch LCD screen and will become larger, even with mainstream display specifications, such as P3 wide color gamut and higher brightness and contrast.
Ditch Lightning for USB-C
The entry-level iPad is mainly aimed at the education market. The appearance has lasted for several years without any major changes. This product is still using the Lightning charging hole. In recent years, Apple replaced the iPad Air with USB-C in 2020, and then replaced the iPad mini (6th generation) to USB-C in 2021. At present, it is also rumored that Apple will replace the iPad (10th generation) with USB-C specifications!
Lens lift 1200 pixels and flash
According to the CAD design drawing of the iPad (10th generation), the main lens of the iPad is also raised and there is an extra flash. Compared with the previous flat design of the iPad 9, it is expected that the new iPad lens will be increased from 8 megapixels to 12 megapixels.
Four speaker design
The latest leaked iPad 10 CAD design also seems to imply that the iPad will be equipped with a four-speaker system, which is expected to be similar to the iPad Air speaker design, and dual channels can only appear horizontally.
Apple unveiled the ninth-generation iPad at its September 2021 event alongside the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, and sixth-generation iPad mini. It was rumored earlier today that the 10th-generation iPad is set to be announced at an October event, so we’ll have to see if the device ends up being unveiled in September or October this year.
The ninth-generation iPad features a 10.2-inch display, an A13 Bionic chip, a 12-megapixel front camera with support for the Center Stage feature, and support for the first-generation Apple Pencil. The device starts at $329 in the United States and is available in Space Gray or Silver color options with 64GB or 256GB of storage.
