The new iPad Pro and the new iPad Air that have just been released, everyone should have already seen it, right?
What to say, although the upgrade of Pro is fierce, the price increase is also fierce.
The Air doesn't have many upgrades, and the appeal is average.
It can be said that this new iPad is both big and big.
And the pricing issue that has been discussed the most by netizens...... It can only be said that the fruits of the last two years are really not suitable for the starter.
In addition to the release of the new device, the official price reduction of the iPad 10th was also announced at the end of the conference.
This entry-level tablet was released in October 2022.
Originally priced at 3599 (64GB).
Original price
Now the official drop across the board is not small.
The Wi-Fi version of 64GB is now priced at 2999, a drop of 600.
The Wi-Fi version of 256GB is now priced at 3999, a drop of 800.
The cellular version of 64GB is now priced at 3999, a price reduction of 800.
The cellular version of 256GB is now priced at 4999, a price reduction of 1000.
Looks like a big knife, right?
Wait! Let's take a look at the third-party prices first.
Just search for an example, the cellular version of 64GB is only 3269, which is hundreds cheaper than the price after the official reduction.
I can only say that when I saw this official surrender, I had no waves in my heart.
And what's even more embarrassing is that this 10th generation iPad has a lot of slots.
Although this is already the biggest update after the release of the iPad entry-level model 12 years ago.
The appearance has been changed from the original design of a large forehead and a big chin + home button to a full screen.
And the interface has also been updated to Type-C.
However, the screen is still the classic sRGB, rather than the mainstream P3 wide color gamut.
There is no anti-reflective coating or optical lamination.
These slots have been severely criticized by everyone long before the generation.
Unexpectedly, after the generational change, it didn't change at all.
The most discussed issue is the Apple Pencil.
You see that the iPad 10th has been replaced with a right-angled edge, and theoretically with a magnetic charging, it can support the second generation of pens, right?
苹果就是不肯，只给 iPad 10th 支持初代 Apple Pencil。
It's the charging port or the Lightning pen.
And in order to make the Lightning connector of this pen match the C port of the iPad, Apple also came up with a unique trick -
An adapter is included.
If you lose it, you can choose to replace it for 67.
Oh no, I just looked at it and the price went up, and now it's selling for 79......
And this interface is used like this:

Of course, you can also choose Apple's subsequent Apple Pencil (USB-C), which saves you the trouble of transferring to and from.
But don't forget, this C-mount version of the Apple pen does not support pressure sensitivity.
This is an important function of using an official pen, and if this is cut, it is theoretically no different from a third party.
Oh no, third-party pens are much cheaper......
So, this iPad 10th, which has just been announced, really doesn't smell good.
If you really want to start, it is recommended to look at the third-party market after the fracture.
