For most people, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice because it offers all the benefits of iOS along with 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 features upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Notably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation'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, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced workflow, making it one of the best iPads for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
