For the majority of users, the standard iPad (as opposed to the Air, Mini, or Pro models) strikes the perfect balance between iOS functionality and cost-effective performance. Launched on March 12, 2025, the current generation model arrives over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and enhanced storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 launch price of the previous model.
The features that remain unchanged include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. Additionally, it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing for a laptop-like experience, making it an excellent choice for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
