after the big iPhone introduction In September, Apple often takes advantage of fall to introduce a few more products in time for the holiday season. A batch of new Macs based on Apple’s new M2 soc was expected in October, but it’s up and running Unlike that. Fall 2022 will bring only two new tablets: iPad (2022) And the iPad Pro (2022).

The iPad Pro is the absolute top model in Apple’s tablet lineup, and in some ways so fast and sophisticated, it’s almost ridiculous. The iPad Pro (2021) It was already the fastest tablet on the market, and in the 2022 model, Apple put together a better community: the M2, which you can also find recently. MacBook Find. The large 12.9-inch model subject to this review still has a high-end mini LED display with more than 10,000 LEDs, super-fast Wi-Fi 6E, 5G and Thunderbolt connections, and roughly 16GB of RAM. And a storage capacity of up to 2 TB. All of these devices are housed in an ultra-thin 6.4 mm sheet of glass and aluminum. It may cost a little. And Apple’s price increases in Europe this year were not lost on the iPad Pro. From this year’s WiFi model, you still have the 5G variant with the same storage capacity as last year The most expensive model Until he breaks the threshold of 3000 euros.

Better Budget Model

Despite the hardware violence of Apple’s flagship tablet, the new iPad without the suffix is ​​more interesting. The cheapest series of fruit brands have led a bit of a weak presence in recent years, old-looking housing overhauled with a slightly older soc, some new software, and a new here and there feature from one of the more expensive models. The iPad (2021) As the last Apple device, it had a physical Home button, which is one of those old buttons that you can actually press. A relic of the past is the 3.5mm jack, which you’ll only find on Macs.

With the iPad (2022), Apple is finally updating its base model by providing it with the new design that has been successively introduced in the Pro, Air and mini-series in recent years. This means a more compact and thinner chassis with a screen with well-rounded corners. The panel is surrounded by a narrow, symmetrical screen bezel without a home button. At first glance, the iPad (2022) looks very similar to iPad Air (2022) from this spring. Unfortunately, the price is there as well, which is a bit at odds with its status as an entry level model. Even the cheapest iPad (2022) sells for at least 589 euros. If you order a more luxurious version and some accessories as well, for example the new Magic Keyboard Folio, you will easily lose more than 1,000 euros.
