New iPad
The new entry-level iPad has the biggest changes. The home button at the bottom of the screen is gone and has been replaced with a fingerprint reader in the power button. It has a more squared design, similar to the iPad Air and iPad Pro, with a large 10.9-inch screen, USB-C in place of the Lightning connector, and will ship in different colors like red, yellow, blue and white.
Apple will sell different configurations, including Wi-Fi only and WiFi + 5G cellular, but it starts at $449, which is a bump from the $329 starting price of the ninth-generation iPad.
iPad Pro
As in recent years, the company will sell two sizes of the iPad Pros, including an 11-inch model and a larger 12.9-inch model with a nicer screen.
The big change to the iPad Pro is a new M2 processor, which is the same one that was introduced in the MacBook Air earlier this year. It's faster than the M1 processor used in the last model of the iPad Pro that was introduced in 2021.
