The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, launched in October 2022. It features a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, it starts at a lower price of $349 compared to the previous model's $399.

Key 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 setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop ideal for students, and works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
