The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). It features upgrades like a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, its launch price of $349 is lower than the previous model's $399.
The specs that remain unchanged include the 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
