The tech company refrained from holding a large-scale event and passed on information about the new product range via press releases.
In addition to the iPhone 14, Apple will also be launching the 10th generation iPad in 2022, the design of which has changed significantly compared to the previous models.

Larger display
: The 10th generation iPad is larger than previous models at 10.9 inches.
The latter had a screen size of 10.2 inches.
Powerful chip
: In addition to the larger screen and the new design, the iPad is also more powerful thanks to the integrated A14 Bionic chip.
No more home button
: A noticeable change concerns the home button – this is completely missing on the latest iPad.
Apple users are already familiar with this from the iPhone, where the button has not been used for several years.
But the new iPad still doesn't use Face ID.
Unlocking still works via Touch ID, but the Touch ID sensor is on the top right edge of the tablet.
Better and differently positioned cameras
: The rear camera has a higher resolution of 12 megapixels and can even record 4K videos.
Older models only had 8-megapixel cameras installed.
In addition, the position of the front camera has shifted from the shorter to the longer side.
From the user's point of view, this is much more practical, since most iPad owners use the devices sideways - the new camera position is therefore better for video calls.
New USB connector
: The iPad 2022 is the last Apple tablet to switch from the Lightning connector to USB-C.
A new EU rule says all new products must offer USB-C by 2024, so the move is just in time.
More Colorful Color Variants
: Color options include blue, pink, yellow, and silver.
Unlike the older models, including the still-available 9th-gen model that was only available in silver or space gray, the 10th-gen Apple tablet is far more colorful.
