With a more modern design, new colors, a larger display that goes up to 10.9 inches and the USB port type-c, the new iPad version 2022 therefore stops a step away from the threshold of 600 euros starting price for the version with 64 GB memory and only wi-fi module, with a rather high increase compared to the previous version made official in 2020 (here our review) that you could take home with 200 euros less, at 389 euros while maintaining the same tag as the 2019 iPad. claims up to 359 euros, 50 less than the previous tablet, which started at 409 euros.
In 2012 the most expensive iPad ever came out, the one officially known as the iPad with Retina display, which started at as much as 799 euros given the improvement of a higher quality screen. It is worth noting how the model was then almost halved in price just two years later, in combination with the release of the first version of the iPad Air, dropping down to 379 euros and proposing itself as a significant low-cost choice. The first two iPads of 2010 and 2011 were released in Italy for 499 and 479 euros respectively, in their basic versions. Considering inflation over the years, it is curious to note how the cost required for the first iPad would today correspond to about 595 euros, or a few euros of difference with its latest evolution revealed twelve years later, a sort of circle that closes and that leave out the concept of the inexpensive iPad for the time being. Given the significant increases due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the subsequent chip crisis and the unfavorable exchange rate (in the US it starts at $ 449) it was a hypothesis to be estimated, it remains to be discovered whether Apple will return to around 400 euros in the future or the step reached by the 2022 version will be destined to never go down.
