Expert tester comments
The 10th gen iPad is a bigger than the previous generation, with a screen that's 10.9in, as opposed to 10.2in. This makes it a more luxurious product to use, especially if paired with the Magic Keyboard Folio, which has keys that are comfortable to hit, and a small touchpad to aid navigation. The Lightning port has been replaced with a USB-C port, which means it can be easier to plug in peripherals and external storage using third-party USB-C hubs. It comes with a zippier processor, and offers slightly better battery life, too.
