23$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice. It offers all the advantages of iOS, coupled with responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous model (October 2022). It boasts significant upgrades, including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and higher storage capacity (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.

The specifications that remain unchanged include the 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 one of the best choices for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
