iPad 10
Unlike the new iPad Pro, as the tenth generation new product of the entry-level iPad model, iPad 10 has brought very obvious changes and improvements.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the iPad 10 adopts a 10.9-inch right-angle border design, removes the Home key and uses the power key with integrated fingerprint recognition instead.
iPad 10 is equipped with the updated A14 chip, and the front camera is moved to the horizontal bezel of the iPad. This is also the first time that Apple has changed the position of the iPad's camera.
At the same time, iPad 10 supports WiFi 6 standard and has replaced the USB-C interface to realize the USB-C transformation of all iPad products.
But unfortunately, iPad 10 only supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, and due to the replacement of the interface, Apple equipped the first-generation Apple Pencil with a USB-C adapter.
For users who have purchased Apple Pencil before, if you want to buy iPad 10, you still need to purchase a USB-C adapter worth 67 yuan to charge the Apple Pencil normally.
Price, the starting price of iPad 10 WiFi version is 3599 yuan , and the starting price of cellular version is 4799 yuan .
iPad 10 will be ordered at 9 a.m. on October 20 and will be officially released on October 26.
At the same time, Apple's official website also launched a magic control keyboard double-sided clip designed for iPad 10, priced at 1,999 yuan .
New Magic Keyboard Double-Side Clip uses full-size keys, 1mm key stroke, and the trackpad supports multi-touch gestures.
It is worth mentioning that with the release of the new iPad 10, the old iPad 9 has not been removed from the shelves, but the price has risen by 100 yuan, with a starting price of 2599 yuan.
Not only that, iPad products in other categories have also increased their prices to varying degrees.
Among them, the new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro have increased by 600 and 800 yuan respectively compared to the previous generation, iPad mini 6 has increased by 200 yuan, and the starting price of iPad Air 5 has also increased by 400 yuan.
In addition to Apple's decision to maintain product differentiation, the international exchange rate may also be the main factor causing this comprehensive price increase.
At present, both the United States and Europe are facing the impact of inflation . The inflation rate in the UK once reached 10.1%, a 40-year high.
Among them, the official website of the UK shows that the price of iPad 10 in the UK is 499 pounds, which is 180 pounds more expensive than the previous generation model.
At the same time, the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is priced at £1,249, which is £250 more expensive than the previous generation £999 price.
Therefore, it is normal for exchange rate fluctuations to cause product prices to change, but it is quite unfriendly for " and other parties ".
