What to Expect From Apple’s 10th-Generation Low-Cost iPad: Updated Chip, USB-C and Major Design Changes
This guide highlights everything that we know about the 10th-generation iPad.
Design Changes
Multiple rumors have indicated that the 10th-generation iPad is going to get some notable design changes. Without going into specifics, DigiTimes said that there are “major” design updates in the works, and leaked renders from MySmartPrice said to be of the next-generation iPad have given us some insight on what might be coming.
The upcoming tablet may feature a design that’s similar to the iPad mini with flat edges and rounded corners. There could be a power button at the top, but the bezels are not expected to be eliminated. The tablet is expected to measure in at 248.62mm (height) x 179.50mm (width) x 6.98mm (depth), which would make it wider and thinner than the current model. Rumors indicate the 10th-generation iPad will continue to feature a Touch ID Home button rather than Face ID.
A single-lens rear camera is expected, as is a front-facing camera, and Apple may include an LED flash. There is no word as of yet on whether the lens will be improved or if it will use the same 12-megapixel rear camera that’s in the existing model.
The 9th-generation iPad continues to feature a headphone jack, but it appears that Apple will remove the headphone jack from the 10th-generation model, bringing it in line with other iPads.
Display Size
According to respected display analyst Ross Young, the next-generation iPad is going to feature a larger 10.5-inch display, which would be an increase over the existing 10.2-inch display the ninth-generation iPad sports.
USB-C
Apple has been shifting the iPad line from Lightning to USB-C, and it’s the iPad’s turn for an update. The 10th-generation iPad is expected to feature a USB-C port for charging instead of a Lightning port, similar to the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini.
Apple is planning to update its entire iPhone, iPad, and AirPod product lineup to USB-C starting next year in order to comply with new rules in Europe that require products to have a common charging port for device interoperability.
A14 Chip
The current iPad has an A13 Bionic chip, but Apple is rumored to be planning to upgrade the 10th-generation iPad to an A14 chip, which was first used in the iPhone 12 and the fourth-generation iPad Air. It will bring a moderate increase in performance and efficiency compared to the existing model.
5G?
Apple has added 5G connectivity across its iPhone product lineup and to iPads that include the current iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini models, so it stands to reason that the 10th-generation iPad could also get faster 5G connectivity.
Launch Date
The 10th-generation iPad is expected to launch later in the year, in either September or October. DigiTimes has suggested Apple is aiming for a September launch, but in years past, Apple has held a second Mac and iPad-centric event in October, leaving the September event for iPhones and Apple Watches. That said, the ninth-generation iPad did come out at Apple’s September 2021 event, so September 2022 is a strong possibility.

IKEA’s smart city project reimagines future home design
This summer, IKEA explored the future of home and the city spaces we share by collaborating with the H22 City Expo, held from May to July in Helsingborg, Sweden.
A partner of the large-scale city expo, IKEA hosted exhibitions and events across two sites in Sweden: Magasin 405 with Skogen in Oceanhamnen, and DM at Drottninghög. These included a modular, transportable forest with flatpack dwellings, an IKEA Mall with home design products from the company, and a series of 60 short documentaries about home in different countries.
“In a straight collaboration with the city and the local community, we created for H22 City Expo unique meeting places, and we are exploring the future of Life at Home, inside and outside the four walls,” says Belén Frau, global communication manager of Ingka Group, IKEA’s holding company. “We want to test and learn how to lay a foundation where locally relevant initiatives and activities can be upscaled and later be taken to other Ingka Group markets.”
The name of the event in the Drottninghög area, DM, stands for Do More, which is a brand powered by Ingka Group that’s testing a new business model for community engagement. It’s a multipurpose marketplace with pop-up stores, markets, urban farms, a food court, events, school activities, and a place to meet and greet.
“We hope that DM, together with our other meeting-points, will be a positive force in the local community, creating jobs and giving the residents the opportunity of creation and togetherness,” says Fredrik Håkansson Lundh, area manager, IKEA Retail Sweden.

“If you were to cut the design in half, the left and the right sides would be identical, using this technique to create balance,” she continued.
THE BEDROOM
In the clip, Isabella provides a solution to make your bedroom appear larger with only two items.
She suggests: “To make your bedroom appear larger and more luxurious, add mirrors behind each nightstand.”
She demonstrates adding two mirrors to her black nightstands.

The balance of the double mirrors opens up the room as she suggests.
In addition, she followed the interior design technique of reflectional symmetry by placing two identical lamps on the nightstands.
In the comments, someone asked, “how tall should I put the mirrors?” as they try to replicate the look.
The TikToker suggests “to match the top of my art in the center! But completely up to you.”
The Bathroom
For those who want to recreate luxurious hotel bathroom vibes in their home, Isabella suggests one easy hack.
She answers the question that many have, “How to make your bathroom look more expensive?”
“To create that luxurious hotel feels in your bathroom, have all white plush towels,” she says.
“They will look amazing in your bathroom and in your linen closets and make such a big difference.”
In the video, she demonstrates different areas to place your plush towels, including a shelf and the bathroom counter.
Don’t forget that luxurious hotel towels are always folded neatly, giving a clean look.
So when using your towels as decor, take the extra step to fold them in a unique way.
Many viewers commented on the series of videos in excitement to try it themselves.
