It's never been more difficult to decide which new iPad to buy

Apple on Tuesday released new iPads that will give us plenty to talk about for weeks to come (fave.co/3DnrF6H). The new 10th-generation iPad is a complete redesign that brings it in line with the Air and mini, and the new iPad Pro is the fastest tablet ever made, with an M2 processor and Wi-Fi 6E. In simple terms, Apple's new tablets are its strongest ever, bringing more options for consumers at both ends of the spectrum.

But buying an iPad is also more confusing than ever. Apple now has five different iPad lines starting at $329 and going all the way up to $2,000-plus.

Here's how the models break down:

iPad (9th generation, 64GB): $329

iPad (9th generation, 256GB): $479

iPad (10th generation, 64GB): $479

iPad mini (64GB): $499

iPad (10th generation, 256GB): $599

iPad Air (64GB): $599

iPad mini (256GB): $649

iPad Air (256GB): $749)

iPad Pro (11-inch, 128GB): $799

iPad Pro (11-inch, 256GB): $899

iPad Pro (11-inch, 512GB): $1,099

iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 128GB): $1,099

iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 256GB): $1,199

iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 512GB): $1,399

iPad Pro (11-inch, 1TB): $1,499

iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 1TB): $1,799

iPad Pro (11-inch, 2TB): $1,899

iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 2TB): $2,199

And those prices don't even account for the cellular options, which add $200 to the iPad Pro, $150 to the 10th-gen iPad, iPad Air, and iPad mini, and $130 to the 9th-gen iPad. Nor does it account for the fact that 64GB of storage isn't really enough for a device that's supposed to be a "computer."
