Apple iPad (2022) review: An expensive facelift

Apple made some radical changes to its 10th-generation iPad, including a more modern design, a faster chip, a bigger screen and a new keyboard folio. In a vacuum, it’s an obvious improvement over last year’s iPad. But it’s also more expensive, and Apple still sells the previous-gen model for $329. That makes this iPad a bit of a tough sell, despite its improvements.

Pros:
Updated design
Improved performance
Solid battery life
Landscape-oriented front-facing camera!
USB-C charging
Keyboard folio has a trackpad and function keys

Cons:
First-gen Apple Pencil charging is even more ridiculous
More expensive
Screen isn’t the best
Keyboard folio is extremely expensive

Engadget Score: 85
