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

The retained specifications include a 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, enabling transformation into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.

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