    So next week should also see the release is iOS and iPadOS 16.1 and macOS Ventura, especially as RCs are now available for developers.

    the existing basic model is still offered.

    It is, but that's a heck of a hike in price for the new one.

    They might argue there’s lots of mitigating reasons, e.g. Chip shortages,
    the Ukraine crisis ….

    Where are they manufactured - has that changed?

    "USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter required to work with iPad (10th generation)"

    it says in the small print at the end. I suppose that means it has USB-C
    but you have to shove the Pencil into a Lightning adapter and charge it sticking out the side...

    (or perhaps a USB-C female to charge the pencil from a regular charger?)

    I suppose that's because they didn't want to fit the Pencil v2 wireless charging coil for cost reasons.

    The first-generation Apple Pencil came with a female to female
    Lightning adapter allowing it to be charged separately, but now
    Apple is offering a new variant of the accessory called the "USB-C
    to Apple Pencil Adapter" that enables Apple Pencil users to charge.
    The adapter is available separately at a price of $9 for existing
    Apple Pencil users, while new Apple Pencil units include the adapter
    in the box.

    V.2 pencil support and the M1 chip seem to be the only significant differences between the new iPad and the iPad Air. Not much for £170?

    Ahhh. £1 is $1.13. Christ...

    It's been a lot worse than that recently and might yet slip down again,
