You can still buy it from third-party retailers, though.

    Looks like I better replace the iPad I use for my square register now. I wonder how long until square releases a new stand, or if they will just kill it off.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Apple justified the price increase with new iPad Air-like features, like a 10.9-inch screen and USB-C support.

    After all, the now last-gen iPad Air was often on sale for around the same price, but with a faster processor, a nicer display, and compatibility with a wider range of accessories, like the second-generation Apple Pencil.

    That’s why we often recommended the ninth-gen iPad to users on a budget.

    It also lacked support for the second-gen Apple Pencil, and its design was outdated, but it was still a speedy entertainment device that was frequently on sale for far less than its 10th-gen sibling.

    Still, at $349, the 10th-generation iPad is now finally more sensibly priced, which makes it a lot easier to recommend.

    And while it’s a shame Apple no longer sells the ninth-gen iPad, headphone jack fans can, at least for now, still buy it for $249 from third-party retailers like Amazon, Target, and Best Buy.
