For most consumers, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and price, offering all the advantages of iOS. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. Notable upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor (compared to the A14), an increase in RAM to 6GB from 4GB, and a jump in base storage to 128GB from 64GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the $399 starting price of the previous generation.
The features retained from the previous model include a 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 you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. This makes it an excellent choice for students, especially with support for the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
