For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering all the benefits of iOS with snappy performance at a budget-friendly price. Released on March 12, 2025, over two years after its predecessor (October 2022), this current generation model boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, its launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 starting price of the previous generation.

The specs that remain consistent include 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's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing it to transform into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. This makes it an excellent choice for students and those who benefit from using the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
