Apple is lowering the price of its 10th-generation iPad from $399 to $349, the company announced at its Let Loose event today.
The 10th-generation iPad did away with the top and bottom bezels that previous iPads carried. The 10.9-inch tablet also doesn’t have a home button, showing Apple, under pressure from European Union regulations, moving from a Lightning port to USB-C.
However, Apple is also doing away with the $329 9th-generation iPad, effectively increasing the price of entry for an iPad.

The $329 iPad had an old-school home button and a Lightning port. The cheaper iPad also supported the 1st-generation Apple Pencil that had a round barrel shape and glossy finish and also used a Lightning port. Meanwhile, Apple’s Pencil lineup has moved toward magnetic charging and other new features.
