Apple redesigns entry-level iPad, announces upgraded iPad Pro, and cheaper Apple TV

Revamped iPads and cheaper Apple TV announced

Apple Inc. introduced its first redesigned entry-level iPad in five years, as well as a new speedier Pro model and a cheaper TV set-top box, seeking to entice consumers as it heads into what’s expected to be another record holiday quarter.

The latest iPad Pro now sports the same M2 chip used in recent Mac computers, while the entry-level iPad is getting a fresh design and new charging port, the company said Tuesday in a series of online announcements. The new Apple TV device, meanwhile, has a lower price and more storage.

No thanks. The mi tv stick is 4k and comes with av1.

The new entry-level model only supports the original Apple Pencil from 2015, which charges with a Lightning connector. That’s an inconvenient decision given that the new iPad has a USB-C port, not Lightning. That means users will need to buy a $9 dongle to charge the Apple Pencil with the new tablet.

Oh snap!

Why such weird colour option?

Apple is also keeping pricing and storage options the same.

Wonder if Core read this far in the article.

You could charge the pencil from the ipads power cable instead of the iPad itself. The adapter will probably be a small adaptor like that one.

The real issue is not supporting the Apple pencil 2.

MKBHD’s review of the 10th Gen iPad says what we need to know

 

[Love Me Tender]

Anyone can confirm if the ipad 10th gen and ipad Air 5 comes with the charger or you need to purchase seperately?

All iPads still come with the USB-C cable & the charging brick. Only the iPhones only come with the cable.
