For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice, offering the full benefits of iOS with snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation, released on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous model (October 2022), boasts upgrades like a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), 6GB of RAM (versus 4GB), and 128GB of storage (versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the previous model's $399.

The iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, which transforms 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.
