23$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most people, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice. It offers all the benefits of iOS, along with snappy performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, marks over two years since the previous generation (October 2022). Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the previous generation's $399.
The specs that remain the same include the 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, enabling a transformation into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students, and works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
