For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering all the benefits of iOS with snappy performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, is a significant upgrade from the previous model launched in October 2022. It boasts a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is lower than the previous generation's $399.

The iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. 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.
