The latest iPad is powered by the A10 Fusion chip, with an embedded M10 co-processor that makes multitasking and switching between apps lightning-fast. Demanding games run without any hitches, and the animations and graphics improved compared to the older A9 chip. Its processor also enables access to the latest apps, including augmented reality experiences.

In terms of battery life, Apple claims that this tablet gives you up to 10 hours of continuous usage before charging. It will last you for a day, especially if you are only using it for a few hours. This iPad does not support wireless and fast charging, but that’s definitely not a deal-breaker.

Another key feature of this iPad model is its compatibility with the Apple Pencil. You can use the accessory (sold separately) to draw, take notes, and interact with different Pencil-enabled apps. The experience of using the Apple Pencil on the iPad is just as good as with the iPad Pro.

Get your hands on one of the best tablets by taking advantage of Walmart’s awesome deal on the newest iPad (32GB Wi-Fi model). For only $249, you get a feature-packed device that’s portable and powerful. Order yours today.

We liked the Apple iPad (9th generation) back when it first launched in 2021. It's a good quality device even if it's no longer one of the best tablets around. It has the A13 Bionic chip that we've previously seen on the iPhone 11 range along with the latest iPhone SE so it's no slouch despite its age. It also has a 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone support. True Tone means that the display adjusts to the color temperature of the room you're in so it always looks great. There's also support for the Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Smart Keyboard if you want to be more productive.

If you've been looking forward to iPad Black Friday deals, here's the first offer you should check out. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the 10th-generation Apple iPad, the latest version of this line of tablets, is down to its cheapest-ever price of $349 from Amazon. The $100 discount on the device's original price of $449 probably won't last long though, as there's always high demand for Apple devices, so if you don't want to miss out on this bargain, it's highly recommended that you proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the 10th-generation Apple iPad
The 10th-generation Apple iPad is the newest release of Apple's entry-level tablets, and while its specifications aren't as powerful as the iPad Air or iPad Pro, the device is listed in our roundup of the best iPads because it's a relatively affordable tablet that offers amazing bang for your buck. It's equipped with Apple's A14 chip, which is the same processor that's found in the iPhone 12 so it looks outdated, but the tablet is still pretty fast and smooth by today's standards, especially if you'll only be using it for simple tasks such as browsing the internet, checking social media, playing mobile games, and watching streaming shows.

You already know the drill. If you want the best Apple products, you'll have to pay premium prices. That's just how the game works, right?
