Here is a quick glance to the latest consecutive generations of iPad
The price hike for the latest one doesn’t really serve the upgrade expected
The iPad 10th generation hit the market in October 2022 priced at Rs. 44,900 in India whereas the iPad 9th generation is priced at Rs. 33,900. Every time, a customer plans to invest they will definitely compare the features and prices between the latest models and the predecessor ones. Just like any other brand today, to compete in the competitive environment and cater to the needs of consumers, Apple keeps on releasing new models. This time, we take our musings to the tablets i.e. iPads by Apple. Apple Inc. released the 10th generation iPad which is a successor model to the 9th generation iPad.
Now, the talk of the town is that the latest model doesn’t really provide its customers with the features compared to the price hike from the previous model.

Although being two models from the same segment, they differ a lot in their designs. iPad 10th gen is inspired by iPad Air whereas the 9th generation model follows no such inspiration.
The 9th generation model has two color variants- Space Grey and Silver whereas the 10th generation model comes up with a completely different color palette of four different pop shades too – Yellow, Blue, Pink, and Silver.
Software – Both the models come up with the same software i.e. iPadOS 16.
There is still a divide if customers should opt for iPad 10th generation or the iPad 9th generation as the latest model improved a lot in its design, camera position, and the moderation to USB-C but the iPad 9th generation still attracts a lot of people because of its price.
