For most people, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering all the benefits of iOS along with snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, marks over two years since the previous generation (October 2022). This model boasts upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's release price of $399.

The specs that have been retained include a 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera system. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. This makes it one of the best iPads for students and compatible with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.

Released in March, the 7th gen iPad Air is the latest model, only one year newer than the 6th gen, with the major upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the M3 chip.
