For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, boasts significant upgrades from its predecessor launched in October 2022. With a more robust A16 processor, increased RAM (6GB from 4GB), and higher base storage (128GB from 64GB), this iPad offers enhanced performance at a starting price of $349, which is actually lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation. Key features like the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with 2360x1640 resolution, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera system remain unchanged. Additionally, its compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard and the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C makes it an excellent choice for students and professionals alike.
