Cases for the new 10th-generation iPad

For example, the cases have a larger cutout for the camera module, which is similar to that on the iPad Air 4 and iPad Air 5. One of the cases attaches to the iPad magnetically, while another, more robust case has cutouts for the new Power button with Touch ID and for the magnetic Apple Pencil charger on the side, which suggests that this iPad will have the same design as more modern iPads.

ESR notes in the product description that the new cases are not compatible with older models of the entry-level iPad, which again corroborates the new design.

Of course, there’s nothing very special about this iPad compared to the current iPad Air and iPad Pro, but it’s worth noting that this will be the first time Apple brings a more modern design and technologies like 5G and USB-C to its most affordable iPad. The 9th-generation iPad still features huge bezels around the display, a Lighting port, and Touch ID built into the Home button.

More products coming in October

Last month, Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman reported that Apple might introduce new iPads and Macs in October via press releases rather than holding a special event. According to the journalist, Apple also has plans to announce the long-awaited Mac Pro with an Apple Silicon chip by the end of the year.
