23$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most people, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering all the benefits of iOS and snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). It boasts upgrades including a more powerful processor (A16 vs A14), increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and more storage (128GB vs 64GB). Remarkably, its launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.
The specs that have remained consistent 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, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. It supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
