The History of the iPad—Every Generation of iPad in Order

If you want to know when iPads were invented, how many generations of iPads there are, or anything else about iPad history, you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll go over the history of the iPad, from the first-gen iPad in 2010 to the latest iPad Pro, released in May 2024.

The History of iPads: iPad Generations List

There was a time, not so very long ago, when the idea of a device you could carry around in your hands and use to watch movies, read books, look up any piece of information you desire, and even have conversations with your friends hundreds or thousands of miles away was something straight out of sci-fi. Now, every toddler eating Cheerios out of a Ziploc baggie in their car seat has one. There have been dozens of iterations of the iPad since it was introduced in the spring of 2010. In this article, we'll take an exhaustive look at iPad history and go over every single iPad since the device's inception.

Below, you will find all the generations of the iPad in reverse chronological order, with details and specifications, including their model numbers. If you're wondering what is the newest iPad, that will depend on whether you mean the iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini, or iPad Pro.

This is a list of the standard-model iPads in order. You can find lists of iPad Air models, iPad mini models, and iPad Pro models below.

The tenth-generation iPad is the first standard-model iPad to feature no Home button. It has a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display, a front camera on its landscape edge, a USB-C connector, Smart Connector, a nano-SIM tray on the right side for Cellular and Wi-Fi, FaceTime HD, 12 MP cameras, Touch ID in the top button. The housing is aluminum and comes in silver, yellow, pink, or blue. It also has first-generation Apple Pencil support and Smart Keyboard Folio support.

iPad (9th Generation)

Announced: September 14, 2021
Model: A2602, A2604, A2603, A2605

This model looks very similar to the previous models, the seventh- and eighth-generation iPads. This model may be difficult to distinguish from its predecessor, the iPad (8th generation), simply by looking at it. The 9th Generation iPad is identical in all physical features and even comes in the same colors. The largest difference is in processing capabilities: the ninth-generation iPad uses an A13 bionic chip, making it even faster and more powerful. Use the model number for accurate identification.

iPad (8th Generation)

Announced: September 15, 2020
Model: A2270, A2428, A2429, A2430
Capacity: 32 GB, 128 GB

The eighth-generation iPad is identical in all physical features and even comes in the same colors. The largest difference is in processing capabilities: the iPad (8th Generation) uses an A12 bionic chip. Use the model number for accurate identification.

iPad (7th Generation)

Model: A2197, A2200, A2198

You might notice a big gap between this iPad's release in 2017 and the fourth-generation iPad's release in 2012. In the intervening years, Apple released the iPad Air line in lieu of standard-model iPads. However, with the release of the fifth-generation iPad (also called the iPad 9.7-inch), Apple brought back the standard, base-model iPads, while the iPad Air line continued as a higher-end device, positioned between the base-model iPad and the iPad Pro.

iPad (4th Generation)

Model: A1458 (Wi-Fi), A1459 (Wi-Fi and Cellular), A1460 (Wi-Fi and Cellular (MM)

Capacity: 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB

This, finally, is the first-ever iPad. As evidenced by Steve Jobs' comments at the 1983 International Design Conference in Aspen, Apple had been working on something resembling the iPad, in some capacity, for almost thirty years! The first iPad came loaded with 12 "Multi-Touch applications" (all of which you can see in the screenshot above) and access to the App Store, where users could download (almost) any of the 140,000 apps that were available at the time. It featured a 9.7-inch, LED display. Just like now, you could purchase a Wi-Fi-only model or a model that included both Wi-Fi and cellular access on the 3G network.

The first-generation iPad has a black front bezel, a 30-pin connector, and a SIM tray (standard size).
