WOAH the price of a new entry level iPad has shot from $329 to $449?
— Geoffrey A. Fowler (@geoffreyfowler) October 18, 2022
What happened to the idea that iPads are an affordable starting point for families, students and schools? (Even the educational discount price is $419.)https://t.co/qGhuj6PhVc
So let me get this straight:

The base model iPad gets a landscape camera (yes) and a brand new Magic Keyboard Folio (yes!) with a detachable keyboard, kickstand (yes!!), and function keys (yes!!!), but the iPad *Pro* gets...none of this?

Okay and if the 10th-gen iPad gets the M1 chip per that single sketchy report, maybe the iPad mini does too today? Then you have full Stage Manager support across the iPad lineup.
— Joe Rossignol (@rsgnl) October 18, 2022
Probably getting ahead of myself and the 10th-gen iPad gets the A14 chip as more widely rumored.
I'm definitely not a heavy iPad user. I mainly use my iPad mini 6 and the old iPad Air 3. Considering buying a new one, but honestly, the lineup is so confusing right now...

Another good piece on today’s new iPads, this one from @jsnell. The Apple Pencil 1 is a fine accessory, but it boggles the mind Apple didn’t add support for v2 given all the trouble they went to redesign the iPad. Even my new iPad mini has it! https://t.co/8XurtxfZQN

The only REAL hardware change in the new 2022 iPad Pro is the M2 Chip. The problem is that the M1 iPad Pro was already overkill in terms of performance. It ran Genshin Impact, the most GPU intensive iOS/iPadOS game, at 113.8FPS average. Truly impressive!https://t.co/J0hRSQpxHP pic.twitter.com/BopSlmcDPe

I think the iPad Pro is just a speed bump. It is what it is. They can't redesign the device every year. Unfortunately I think it has exposed maybe a lack of cohesive planning across the entire line.
— Jason Snell (@jsnell) October 19, 2022
I think they should've scrapped pencil support entirely and just focused on the new Logitech crayon. Still would've stirred things up but response may have been less brutal. https://t.co/TjS0KDF7uU

I'm guessing the lack of Apple Pencil 2 support for the iPad 10 is because it doesn't have a laminated display?
— Chance Miller (@ChanceHMiller) October 18, 2022
I have no idea otherwise.
12 years since the iPad first came out, Apple’s own major creative pro apps remain missing from iPadOS. Are the iPads Pro not pro enough for creative pros? Nevermind that third party pro apps are plentiful already, Apple seems to have no confidence on this https://t.co/I7cFHjs6Cm

I just feel like, if your tablet lineup requires you to have six different keyboard models with names like "Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation) and iPad Air (5th generation) - US English" you've probably made a wrong turn somewhere pic.twitter.com/vXI9UNqE2D

In all honesty the new iPad should be unlaunched just like the 4080 12GB was. It doesn't really have a place in the lineup. It's too close to the Air, so you might as well buy the Air, and it's too expensive for the $329 crowd. https://t.co/ye0NboZgaP

In addition to not getting the landscape camera, the iPad Pro doesn’t get the new Magic Keyboard from the base iPad. The new keyboard has a function row and an updated design. The new entry iPad gets USB-C, but only supports the Apple Pencil with Lightning. Odd across the board.

• $120 more expensive? bye-bye “cheap” iPad
• folio kb is nice (function keys, YAY) but $250 ouch
Pro:
• hover is cool
• no function keys????
• no landscape camera like iPad?!?!

I wonder if the new Magic Folio keyboard ($249) is a good bit lighter than the Magic Keyboard ($349) since it doesn’t need the same hinge.

So let me get this straight: The new entry-level iPad finally has USB-C, but it's only compatible with the first-gen Apple Pencil? And that's why you need an adapter to charge it on the iPad?

Apple, you kill me. They release this base model iPad thats not actually a base model, is essentially an iPad Air 4th generation, but they don't give it support for the magnetic Apple Pencil? You gotta use the 1st generation one? And they ship you an adapter? WHAT pic.twitter.com/QmYicp7BT9
— Luke Miani (@LukeMiani) October 18, 2022
Hear me out - if they HAD released a new Apple Pencil version maybe they could have moved the camera to the long side of the Pro versions.

iPad gets the new camera placement because it still only supports the 1st gen Pencil (and you now need an adapter to charge it, which wtf?)

As expected, Apple TV gets a faster chip, iPad Pro update is minimal beyond the M2, the big news is the revamped entry iPad but its price is hiked significantly to $449. The $329 model from last year remains on sale.

Just make the Apple Pencil capable of charging on a MagSafe puck and be done with it. Seriously - that’s the reason we still have to deal with the camera in the wrong place! That’s a really poor trade off.
— Jason Aten (@JasonAten) October 18, 2022

Apple Pencil Gen 1 users will need to buy an adapter to charge their stylus with the new iPad as it gets USB-C but the Pencil is still using Lightning Port. Apple doing this instead of giving 2nd Gen Pencil support to iPad.

And they removed chargers for the EnViRoNmEnT. LoL
An adapter. To charge the pencil. Because wireless charging the 2nd gen messed with margins, no doubt.
