Now’s the time to buy last year’s iPad
Is this the 2022 iPad Pro, or is it last year's model?

That isn't to say the new 10th-gen iPad and the M2-equipped iPad Pro are bad products - far from it. But they either aren't significantly better than their predecessors or have an awkward value proposition that puts them in between more compelling options in Apple's lineup.
If you've been planning to buy an iPad this year, this is good news because you can confidently purchase last year's (or even older) models without really giving up much. And based on the pricing we've seen on older iPads recently, that can either save you a ton of money or get you a more capable model for the same price you might pay for the latest base version.
