It was already cheap, there are new iPads

The times when I followed Apple launches with bated breath are long gone. There were also times when I signed the price list with a short "Well, it's Apple after all"... New iPads are no longer breathless, and I pass by in silence the prices...

Let's start with the more interesting novelties, i.e. the iPad Pro. Yes, so far, we have a choice of two sizes - 11 and 12.9 inches, resolutions (respectively) 2388x1668 and 2732x2048 pixels and the miniLED technology still only in a larger version. A novelty is the Apple M2 processor, which we already know from current MacBooks. The chip provides higher performance and energy efficiency, which will certainly translate into a positive experience of using tablets in more serious tasks. Memory - you can choose from 8-12 GB RAM and 128 GB - 2 TB flash. The work will also be made more pleasant by the new Apple Pencil, which now supports non-contact gestures over the screen. By making them at a distance of up to 12 mm from the display, you can call up additional functions in applications. The camera offers a 12 Mpx f/1.8 main module and a 10 Mpx f/2.4 wide-angle module with a field of view of 125 degrees. At the front there is a 12 Mpx camera with f/2.4 aperture. The range of communication modules includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and - optionally - 5G. Here is the price list and available versions:

The new 10th-generation iPad, once known as the "budget iPad", was also shown. Unfortunately, the budget is no longer the case. It offers basically the same as the current iPad Air, but has a different processor - instead of the M1 - the Apple A14 Bionic. The 10.9-inch IPS screen has a resolution of 2360x1640 pixels and support for a stylus. The tablet also has two 12-megapixel cameras (front with f/2.4 aperture and rear f/1.8, and as an option you can buy a 5G modem and a cover with a keyboard. The new iPad is thinner and has a narrower screen frame - thanks to the transfer of the fingerprint reader to side of the case as in Air Prices and versions are as follows:
