There are NO 10th Gen iPads yet…….
SOOOO disappointing that my iPad Pro 12.9 4th gen that I bought literally new in mid 2020 is already obsolete 2-1/2 years later. I can’t imagine most normal people being able to buy a new iPad every 2-3 years – Apple need to stay forward thinking, sure, but not completely making their products obsolete so quickly.
