Apple iPad (11th Generation)
The new entry-level iPad delivers significant improvements while maintaining affordability. Upgraded from the A14 to A16 chip, it now offers 128GB base storage instead of 64GB. Available in silver, blue, pink and yellow finishes, this model delivers capable performance for everyday tasks like web browsing, video streaming, and casual gaming.
While lacking Apple Intelligence capabilities, the 11th gen iPad provides ample power for most users' needs and remains positioned as Apple's most budget-friendly tablet option.
iPad Air with M3 Chip
Sitting comfortably between the standard iPad and Pro models, the M3-equipped iPad Air offers substantially improved performance over previous generations. Available in 11-inch ($599) and 13-inch ($799) configurations, both models support Apple Intelligence and pair with the new Magic Keyboard featuring function keys and integrated trackpad ($269).
