Apple launched the entry-level iPad 10 in October 2022, which comes with a completely updated chassis and an upgraded A14 Bionic processor. Thanks to the redesign, users can now take advantage of flat edges and rounded viewing corners. Don’t let the flat edges fool you into thinking it supports the Apple Pencil 2. The iPad 10, despite dropping the Lightning port, still only supports the Apple Pencil 1, and only through a dongle. Speaking of the redesign, the iPad 10 comes in four bold colors to choose from – silver, pink, blue, and yellow.
That’s a lot, so you might be wondering if you should buy an iPad 10. There are other considerations, too, like whether it’s water-resistant. Do you need to buy a bag for that protection? Here’s what you need to know.
iPad 10 has neither IP rating nor water resistance
Before diving inLet’s clear up one common misconception. Most electronic devices you come across today are waterproof, not waterproof. So no, the iPad 10 is not waterproof.
If you want to know how water-resistant a device is, you should look at the IP rating, which reflects the endurance against dust and water that a particular product has. Apple includes an IP rating on some of its devices, such as recent iPhone models. Water resistance, like many things in life, fades over time. So, while the device may be water-resistant when it’s new, this may change down the road. So always treat your devices as if they weren’t waterproof. Leave the resistance as plan B, just in case you accidentally spill liquid on it.
Now that you know your iPad 10 isn’t waterproof, let’s see if it has an IP rating. As of 2022, Apple still hasn’t released a single iPad model with an IP rating. This does not mean that it is completely unprotected from the elements, since most devices have some degree of protection, but it does mean that submerging them in water or liquids will most likely damage them. In short, keep it away from water.
To clean the screen, use a damp cloth that does not soak the iPad in water. If you accidentally spill water on your iPad 10, turn it off and leave it alone for a few hours to dry.
You should always be careful with your devices, regardless of their IP rating. You won’t want to damage your great new iPad right after you buy it.
iPad 10 offers a complete chassis overhaul and offers four bold colors. It packs an A14 Bionic chip and supports Apple Pencil 1.
