Today, the Apple iPad Pro (2022) (both 11” and 12.9”) and the new iPad (2022) are on store shelves in 28 countries. They are of course available through Apple.com, as well as major retailers in these regions.
The iPad Pro 11 (2022) starts at $800 for the Wi-Fi model (128GB) and $1,000 for the version with cellular connectivity. Storage options up to 2TB if you have the budget for it. Note that Apple can take your old iPad and give you store credit to buy the new models.
Apple iPad Pro 11 and 12.9 (2022) are now in stores
The larger iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) starts at $1,100 (Wi-Fi, 128GB), and you can have a 5G slate for $1,300 (again 128GB). This one has the same storage options: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.
Since the new Pros have the same dimensions as the 2021 models, they support the same Magic Keyboard. You can pick one up for $300 for the 11″ tablet and $350 for the 12.9″ tablet.
You can also get an Apple Pencil (2nd generation) for $130 – the new Pros are able to detect it from a short distance, allowing the user to hover over elements in apps and get additional interactions. Here’s a quick demo:
The new Apple iPad (2022) starts at a higher price than its predecessor, $450 for a 64GB tablet. However, the old 9th generation model is still available at its original price of $330. The new model has a faster chipset that also supports 5G — that option starts at $600. The 9th generation tablet only has a 4G connection (starting at $460).
iPad (2022) is now available in 28 countries
Note that the 2022 model supports the older, first-generation Apple Pencil, which needs a Lightning port to charge, while the tablet itself has a USB-C port. Apple now includes an adapter in the Pencil box ($100), but if you already have a first-gen Pencil that you want to use, you can pick up the adapter for just $9.
Another accessory you might want to look at is the $250 Magic Keyboard Folio (available in white only).
PS. these new tablets all come with a USB C to C cable and a 20W adapter (unlike iPhones).
