The two devices also both have a single camera lens in the top left corner of the rear, a USB-C charging port flanked by speakers at the bottom and a Smart Connector. You'd be hard pressed to tell the two tablets apart in terms of design in fact, with only really the colours giving the two ranges away. Both opt for uniformed bezels around their displays, aluminium bodies with flat edges and they both have a power button at the top with Touch ID built in. The Apple iPad (10th generation) and the iPad Air are virtually identical in terms of their designs. Both the iPad (10th gen) and the iPad Air come in Wi-Fi and Cellular models too though. The iPad Air (2022) meanwhile, starts at £669 in the UK and $599 in the US.

It starts at $449 in the US and £499 in the UK for the Wi-Fi only model and it is available globally. The iPad (10th generation) hit shelves on 26 October 2022. Let's first start with the price as this may be the deciding factor between these two models, depending on your budget. We've also got a full iPad comparison feature comparing all iPad models, and a feature comparing the iPad (10th generation) and iPad (9th generation) in case you want more detail on the lower end iPad models. With that in mind, we've run up the differences between the iPad (10th generation, 2022) and the iPad Air (2022) to help you work out what the differences are and which makes the most sense to buy. The price has also increased, making the decision between the entry-level iPad and the iPad Air that little bit harder. The redesign of the entry level iPad sees it finally ditch the Home Button and opt for a very similar look to the iPad Air, compared to the older design still found on the 9th generation iPad.
