Note that this A2757 iPad 10th Gen (Wi-Fi/Cellular) supports a single nano SIM card as well as eSIM and is compatible with 5G NR, specifically bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n71, n77, n78, and n79. However, it does not support 5G NR mmWave. It is sold everywhere in the world except for mainland China.
All iPad 10th Gen models, including this cellular-capable configuration, essentially represent a cheaper, slower, lower quality, and less capable version of the iPad Air (5th Gen).
The iPad 10th Gen (Wi-Fi/Cellular) features a 10.9" LED-backlit 2360x1640 "Liquid Retina" display (264 ppi, 500 nits) that supports True Tone, but it does not have Wide-color (P3) capability or ProMotion support. The display is surrounded by a thin black bezel and is packed in a thin case with rounded corners and flat sides. The back is one of four color options -- silver, blue, yellow, or pink.
The iPad (10th Gen) is powered by a six-core Apple A14 Bionic processor, 4-core graphics, and a 16-core "Neural Engine", has 4 GB of RAM, and is equipped with either 64 GB or 256 GB of flash storage. It also has a "Touch ID" authentication sensor built into the top button, awkward support for the already awkward original Apple Pencil (A1603, MK0C2AM/A) (physically connecting it requires a USB-C adapter), and it has a "Smart Connector" for use with a size-specific Apple Magic Keyboard Folio (MQDP3LL/A), as well.
The iPad (10th Gen) has a landscape front-mounted 12 megapixel "Ultra Wide" camera that shoots up to 1080p video -- complete with support for the clever "Center Stage" technology that automatically pans and zooms to keep subjects in frame -- and a rear-mounted 12 megapixel "Wide" camera that shoots up to 4K video.
Other features include the aforementioned 5G, as well as dual band 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, HT80 with MIMO support, and Bluetooth 5.2 in addition to stereo speakers. Connectivity to computers, if desired, and power is provided by a USB-C port.
The battery life of this cellular-capable iPad (10th Gen) model is reportedly 10 hours of "surfing the web on Wi-Fi or watching video" or 9 hours "surfing the web using cellular data."
