For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice, offering all the benefits of iOS with snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and more storage at 128GB instead of 64GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's starting price of $399.

The model retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. 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. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
