This $349 iPad was sneakily the best announcement during Apple's 'Let Loose' event

During Apple's "Let Loose" event, the company introduced several new iPads, including a notably affordable 10th-generation model now priced at $349, down from $449. This base model iPad, released in October 2022, features upgrades like a landscape front-facing camera and USB-C port, positioning it as a compelling option for casual users.

ZDNET's review praised this iPad for its value, highlighting its sufficient capabilities for everyday tasks such as web browsing and video streaming, without the need for high-end specifications found in pricier models like the iPad Air and iPad Pro with M2 and M4 chips. This makes the 10th-generation iPad an attractive choice for consumers seeking a reliable and more budget-friendly Apple tablet.
