The A16 iPad, released in 2025, is a compelling upgrade for users who want the core iPad experience without paying for premium features. It delivers a significant performance boost over previous base models, handling everyday tasks like streaming, browsing, multitasking, and light gaming with smooth, effortless speed, thanks to its powerful A16 chip. The larger 11-inch Liquid Retina display offers vibrant, crisp visuals, making it perfect for both work and play. Starting with 128GB of storage also provides plenty of space for apps and media for most users.
For those seeking the essentials in a tablet, the A16 iPad hits the perfect sweet spot between performance and value. While it lacks the ProMotion display and Apple Intelligence of more expensive models, its excellent performance, all-day battery life, and stylish design make it an ideal choice for students, casual users, and anyone needing a reliable and capable tablet.

I recently picked up the 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip in blue, and it’s everything I hoped for and more. The performance is incredibly smooth—apps launch instantly, multitasking is seamless, and even graphics-heavy games run flawlessly. The new A16 chip really shows its power here.

With 128GB of storage, I have more than enough space for all my apps, media, and documents. Pairing it with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard turns it into a lightweight productivity powerhouse.
Battery life is impressive too—I can go all day without worrying about a recharge.
Overall, this iPad is a fantastic upgrade. Whether you’re a student, a creative, or just someone who wants a reliable and powerful tablet, this model is a winner.

I’ve owned several iPads over the years, but this new 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip is on a completely different level. The performance is lightning-fast — apps open instantly, multitasking feels seamless, and even graphic-intensive games run smoothly without draining the battery too quickly.
The 11-inch display strikes the perfect balance: big enough for productivity, streaming, and note-taking, but still light and portable enough to carry around all day. The color accuracy and brightness make everything — from movies to digital textbooks — look sharp and vibrant.
Battery life has been excellent. I can go through a full day of classes, browsing, video calls, and streaming without worrying about finding a charger.
I also love the new blue finish — it’s sleek, modern, and definitely stands out compared to the usual silver or gray options. Pairing it with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard turns it into a real laptop replacement for school and work.
Overall, this iPad is powerful, portable, and beautiful. It’s the perfect device whether you’re a student, professional, or just someone who loves having the best tech in their hands. Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way!

I've been using the new iPad with the A16 chip for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed — especially for the price. It’s surprisingly affordable for what you get. The performance is fast and smooth, whether I’m browsing, streaming, or using multiple apps at once. Apps open quickly, and everything just works without any lag.
The screen is bright and clear, and the battery easily lasts all day. It’s also lightweight and easy to carry around, which makes it perfect for daily use. Plus, it supports the Apple Pencil, which is great for note-taking or sketching.
For the price, this iPad is a total steal. You get premium performance at a budget-friendly cost.

It’s bigger than the standard 9.7”. I love that it’s in blue. And I got the pencil, and folio to go with it. It’s basically a very portable laptop that I take everywhere.

I upgraded to this for my Down Syndrome son. We take this when we travel so he can watch his movies. We are Apple users and love their products.
Pros: easy to setup, easy for him to navigate, nice look (bought case and screen protector for his needs), battery life is great, lightweight and not bulky, price is good (it did go on sale few days after I bought it so I paid full price).
Cons: maybe durability but all our electronics have protection. It doesn’t s thin and so pretty so best to protect like you would your phone and other devices.

This purchase was a necessity and has come out incredible we all use it at home from my children watching their favorite videos, my husband playing his favorite video game and me with my work and school therapies of my young son all this has been an excellent choice, the price has been right and I recommend ampliamante acquire the two-year warranty because of the use we have at home can be utilized at any time.
The durability of the battery is good because when charged to 100% in three hours and lasts a whole day of use in all the above mentioned functioned.
The storage system is also good because I have not had any problems with it or delays in its operation so the use has been spectacular.
My mother-in-law's next birthday is coming up and this is a great idea we have for her.

This iPad offers a lot of value for it's price. 6GB RAM & 128GB of storage is a huge improvement from my previous iPad. Battery life is great and this is perfect for causal use or if you're a student in need of something that will replace traditional notebooks. Only downside is the 60hz refresh rate and not 120hz. Definitely recommend this!

We’re a proud Apple-loving family and have owned just about every version of the iPad over the years—and this one is by far the best yet! My daughter received it as a gift from her grandparents for her 8th grade graduation, and she hasn’t put it down since. She even uses it more than her phone! It’s super fast, has a crystal-clear display, and was incredibly easy to set up. I highly recommend this iPad for all ages—whether it’s for school, entertainment, or everyday use, it’s an outstanding device.
