The redesigned iPad base is already available for pre-order and will be in stores on October 26. However, expect a price increase. The price of the update ranges from $449 for a 64GB WiFi variant to $599 for cellular. The last-generation iPad is still available from Apple for the same $329 price as previously, which is a sizable increase. Consider this more as a reduced iPad Air for individuals who don’t need an M1 chip or support for the second-generation Pencil.
