For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering all the benefits of iOS and 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 a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and more storage with 128GB instead of 64GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.

The specs that remain unchanged include the 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, allowing you to transform 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.

$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)

Released in March, the 7th gen iPad Air is the current generation model, only one year newer than the 6th gen, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip.
