“The iPad (2022) is a fantastic tablet in a bubble. But compared to the rest of Apple's lineup, it's just too confusing.”

Updated, modern design, Wonderfully vibrant colors, Larger display is fantastic, A14 chip is plenty powerful, Strong battery life, USB-C is finally here

The headphone jack is gone, Non-laminated screen, Apple Pencil situation is a mess, Huge price increase

It turns out that looks really aren't everything....

Updated design with a bigger display, Smooth and rich iPadOS 16 experience, Great battery life, Powerful A14 Bionic performance, No more Lightning port, Landscape selfie camera

No more headphone jack, Confusing Apple Pencil compatibility, Slow USB-C transfer speeds, Only 64GB base storage, Major price increase

Apple’s latest base-model iPad cribs a lot of features from the more expensive iPad Air. But it also is considerably more expensive than before, making it a tough sell.

Fast performance, Reliable battery life, Lots of tablet-optimized apps, Larger screen than before, USB-C charging

Confusing and expensive accessories, Screen not as high quality as other iPads, Much higher starting price, No headphone jack

The Apple iPad 10th gen sits towards the lower end of the iPad range, combining features from the pricier iPad Air 2022 with those from the previous budget iPad. A price rise this year, and the decision Apple has made to keep the 10.2-inch iPad 9 from 2021 around, means this is no longer the true...

The design is a massive upgrade, USB-C is far more convenient than Lightning, Smart front camera placement, Unbeatable tablet apps and software, Design is key: The new design makes this the most tempting base iPad upgrade in a while.

Huge price jump, especially in Europe makes its position in Apple’s iPad range confusing, Odd Apple Pencil integration, 64GB isn’t enough (256GB probably too much), You’re on a tight budget : The previous-gen model might not look as good, but it’s a lot more affordable and remains very capable.

The upgrades over its predecessor are pretty numerous, from the complete redesign to better cameras, a nice internal power boost, and the USB-C port are all welcome changes to an iPad that was in desperate need of some love.

Finally the entry-level iPad gets a design overhaul that makes it look much more up-to-date. The new Apple model brings a larger screen, some boisterous new colour options, and it's an all-round better product than its predecessor.

All-new design ups the entry-level iPad's game, Bigger screen than predecessor (now 10.9-inch), USB-C charging, yay!

Other iPads have better screens (brighter, faster refresh), It's pricey – the iPad Air isn't much more, Controversial colour options

The Apple iPad (10th gen) rework is ace compared to rivals, but it's expensive and leads to some range confusion

A significant upgrade, Move to USB-C, Fresh colours

Pricing is a lot higher than 9th gen, Inevitable confusion between this and iPad Air, 1st gen Apple Pencil support only

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
