For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the top choice, offering the full iOS experience with impressive performance at a budget-friendly price. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor (October 2022). It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB from 4GB), and expanded storage (128GB from 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's $399.
The features that have remained consistent include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. Additionally, it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing for a laptop-like experience that's ideal for students, and works with the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
