With these, Apple's updated standard tablet now joins the full lineup, which also includes Air, mini, and Pro versions. Perhaps the following comparison of the two iPads from 2022 and 2021 will help you to decide whether to buy one or the other.

In the following table I have summarized data on size, design, chips, cameras and so on. So you have a direct comparison of the two iPad versions from last year and this year.

But I also included a few important similarities, such as the display brightness or the Apple Pencil compatibility.
