The new, 10th-generation iPad is available now and features a ton of fantastic enhancements. The 2022 iPad Air is also a possibility, and the 9th-generation iPad is still part of the roster.

The iPad 10 might provide a perfect balance of contemporary features at a reasonable cost, though. Here is a list of all the contrasts and similarities between the iPad 10, iPad 9, and iPad Air.

Overview

Many individuals were encouraged to forego the 11-inch iPad Pro because of the 2022 iPad Air, which blurred the distinction between the less expensive iPads and the Pro devices. However, the entry-level iPad 9 maintained the previous design, complete with wide bezels and a Home button.

The iPad 10 is now available and is likely to entice people away from both the iPad Pro and iPad Air thanks to Apple's new slim-bezel design and a price below the iPad Air for many of the same capabilities.

Let's examine what the iPad 10, iPad 9, and iPad Air each provide.

Display

The iPad 10's display is nearly identical to that of the more premium iPad Air. It has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360 x 1640 pixels. Other features include True Tone, 500 nits of brightness, and thin bezels.

P3 broad color, an anti-reflective coating, and a laminated display are the three key features of iPad 10 that the iPad Air features.

Performance

Apple's announcement highlighted the enhancements between the iPad 9 and iPad 10. With the A13 to A14 Bionic update, the manufacturer touts a 20percent higher CPU performance and a 80percent faster neural engine. The M1 chip is used to power the iPad Air in 2022.

That includes an eight-core CPU and GPU, which are more potent. However, you generally won't need or even notice the M1 processor update unless you're pushing your iPad to its very limits with professional-level tasks like film editing, visual design, etc.

Camera

The iPad 10's back camera, which has a 12MP wide lens, is the same as the Air's. A slightly less powerful 8MP wide-angle back camera is included with the iPad 9.

The 10th generation model receives a landscape front camera that makes it more practical for video calls, which is another cool improvement making its debut in an iPad.

Battery and Colors

The iPad 10's battery life is identical to that of the iPad 9 and iPad Air, coming in at 10 hours for browsing the web or watching videos over WiFi and 9 hours for mobile data use.

There are four color options available for the Apple iPad 10: silver, pink, blue, and yellow. The colors space gray, pink, purple, blue, and starlight are available for the iPad Air. Only space gray and silver are offered with the iPad 9.

Connectivity and Other Features

Along with the more expensive Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro and iPad Air, a brand-new Magic Keyboard Folio for the iPad 10 is now available and has several intriguing features.

The iPad 10 can only be used with the first-generation Apple Pencil, which is a drawback. Because of this, a bulky USB-C to lightning converter is included in the box for charging.

The iPad Air is compatible with every Apple accessory available for the iPad Pro. This includes the Smart Keyboard Folio, Magic Keyboard, and Apple Pencil 2nd Gen.

Touch ID is still available on the iPad 10 and iPad Air, although it is now housed in the top button rather than the Home button. The transition to USB-C with iPad 10 is another improvement. The iPad 10 and iPad Air don't support 5G with cellular variants, much like the iPhone SE 3 does.

Price of iPad 9, iPad 10, and iPad Air

Variant	iPad 9	iPad 10	iPad Air 2022
64GB WiFi	$329	$449	$599
64GB + Cell	$459	$599	$749
256GB WiFi	$479	$599	$749
256GB + Cell	$609	$749	$899

Conclusion

When all the similarities and differences are taken into account, most individuals will probably find the iPad 10 to be an excellent decision. It costs $150 less than the iPad Air at standard prices while offering nearly identical functionality.

The iPad 9 is a decent option if you want to get the most reasonably priced iPad with a 10′′ screen for everyday usage and don't mind the outdated design. The iPad Air with the M1 chip might be more alluring if you anticipate constantly pushing your tablet to its breaking point.

However, an iPad Pro with up to 16GB RAM, up to 2TB storage, a 120Hz ProMotion display, and Thunderbolt compatibility may be ideal if you are or anticipate becoming a power user. If you can find iPad Air cheap, though, it would make it more attractive.
