The 2022 iPad is one of the best tablets on the market. In our iPad 2022 review, we appreciated its sleeker design and bigger display, though some might miss the headphone jack from the 9th gen iPad. We also like the Touch ID-enabled power button, repositioned front camera, and USB-C charging, as well as the upgraded A14 Bionic chip and 5G connectivity (optional). That said, $449 is a lot of cash to spend on Apple’s new tablet. While Apple is keeping its 9th-gen iPad around (and it’s usually on sale for $299), it’s still upsetting to see the new 2022 iPad get a $120 price increase. However, our bigger issue is with the Apple Pencil situation; it’s just way too awkward to charge this thing, and there’s nowhere to store the stylus when not in use. All that aside, this is a terrific tablet that’s bound to please anyone who buys it. Make sure to follow our Black Friday deals live blog for more discounts as they’re unveiled.
