Apple iPad (10th Generation)

The Apple iPad 10th Generation now starts at $349.

At Apple's "Let Loose" event on Tuesday, May 7th, the company debuted their new iPad Air and iPad Pro in addition to an upgraded Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil Pro. But among the exciting new product launches is the news that the Apple iPad 10th Generation now starts at $349. This is no temporary deal — the Apple iPad has a new affordable price.

The base iPad model comes with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. It's outfitted with the A14 chip and a landscape ultra-wide front camera. It comes in four different color ways: Blue, pink, yellow, and silver. For $349, the iPad starts at 64 GB of storage but is also available in 256 GB for $499.

Our friends over at PC Mag (owned by Mashable's parent company, Ziff Davis) tested the iPad 10th generation, saying it's an excellent model for most people. While the iPad Air and Pro may be the more suitable option for creatives with its superior processing speeds, the 10th generation iPad handles HD content for all your daily streaming needs.

PC Mag's managing editor Eric Zeman's main complaint about the iPad 10th generation was its price jump to $449 at its time of release. With its updated starting price of $349, the iPad solidifies itself as the best tablet under $500.
