For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between iOS functionality and performance at a wallet-friendly price. Launched on March 12, 2025, this model arrives over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), 6GB of RAM (up from 4GB), and 128GB of storage (increased from 64GB). Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.
The iPad retains familiar features like 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. It also supports the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a compact laptop ideal for enhancing productivity, making it a top choice for students. Plus, it's compatible with the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
