iPad 10th Generation Price: Retail, Deals & Price History

The iPad (10th generation) is the model Apple released in October 2022 with a redesigned flat-edge body and a USB-C port. It sat in the middle of the iPad lineup, above the older entry iPad and below the iPad Air. Apple stopped selling it in March 2025, so you can no longer buy it new from Apple at a list price.

That changes what a "price" means. Apple's launch prices still apply as a reference point, but any new, open-box, refurbished, or used iPad 10th generation you find now is priced by the seller. Those prices change often, and the figures on price trackers move with stock.

At launch, Apple listed the Wi-Fi model at $449 and the Wi-Fi + Cellular model at $599, according to Apple Newsroom. Wikipedia describes the same introductory range, from $449 to $599.

Those figures are for Apple's list price when the tablet was new. They are not a guide to what a unit costs today. Used and refurbished iPads usually sell for less than the original price, while sealed new stock from third-party sellers can sometimes cost more than Apple's price. Current resale prices vary by storage size, condition, color, and cellular support, and they change quickly. Check live listings and recent sold prices on the marketplace you plan to use.

Apple sold some accessories and offered education pricing alongside the iPad.

The Wi-Fi model carried an education price of $419. The Magic Keyboard Folio was listed at $249. The USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter was $9, and it matters because the 10th generation works with the first-generation Apple Pencil, which needs an adapter to connect to the iPad's USB-C port. Check what is included in a used listing, since keyboards and Pencils are often sold separately.

• Storage: The cost goes up with storage. Decide how much you need for apps, photos, and downloaded video.
• Wi-Fi vs. Cellular: A cellular model has a data radio, and it only helps with an active data plan.
• Battery condition: An older tablet may not hold a charge as well as a new one.
• Activation Lock: Ask the seller to confirm the iPad has been removed from their Apple Account. A locked device can be unusable.
• Warranty and returns: Retailers and refurbishers vary on how long they cover the tablet.
• Accessories: Confirm whether the charger, cable, case, and any keyboard are included.

If you are comparing prices, the current entry model is also worth a look. Apple's iPad (A16) 128GB starts at $449 as of June 2026, according to MacRumors.

Apple's own Certified Refurbished store lists a Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad (A16) 128GB at $509. Refurbished units from Apple come with Apple's refurbished warranty, which is one reason to compare against it before paying for an older model from a marketplace seller. The comparison is a price reference only. Check the specifications of each model to see whether the older tablet still meets your needs.

Apple's Certified Refurbished store is the most predictable source for a refurbished iPad, though it may not always have a given model in stock. Major electronics retailers and carriers sometimes carry remaining new stock. Marketplaces and local resale can have the lowest prices, with more risk. Look at seller ratings, photos of the actual device, and the return policy.

That depends on the price gap. An older iPad makes sense when the used or refurbished price is clearly below what the current model costs and you do not need the newest chip. If the gap is small, the current model is usually the safer buy, because it is sold new with a full warranty and a longer software support window ahead of it.

Think about how you will use the tablet. Reading, video, video calls, and note-taking are light tasks. Heavy games, large photo libraries, or years of planned use favor spending a little more. Whatever you choose, set a ceiling before you start browsing listings, so a convincing description does not push you past it.

• Confirm the model is the 10th generation. Apple's iPad lineup has several similar models, and listing titles are sometimes wrong.
• Check the model number in Settings after purchase.
• Compare against the successor price above before accepting a high used price.
• Be wary of listings with stock photos only and no description of condition.
• Do not pay outside the platform's buyer protection.
