For 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 like a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.

The specs that remain unchanged 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, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Plus, it works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.

Released in March, this current generation model is only one year newer than the 6th gen, with the primary upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the M3 chip.
