Since its release in 2022, Apple's most affordable iPad has come with a USB-C charger in Europe, but the debut of the new iPad mini on Tuesday would have left it as the only remaining device in Apple's iPad lineup to do so.

In tandem with the change, Apple also quietly cut the price of the iPad across Europe, shaving €30 off its original €449 price. The new starting price for the 10th-generation device in the EU is now €409. Meanwhile in the United Kingdom, Apple's cheapest iPad got a £20 cut and now starts at £329, down from £349.
