Really Happy With This iPad
I recently picked up the 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip, and I’m honestly really impressed. Everything runs super smoothly—apps open fast, switching between things is easy, and nothing feels laggy. The 11-inch screen is a great size: big enough for watching videos and getting work done, but still light and comfortable to hold.
I’ve been using it for everyday stuff like streaming, browsing, taking notes, and some photo editing, and it handles all of it without any issues. The battery easily lasts me most of the day, which is a big plus. I also really like the silver color—it looks clean and modern.
The 128GB storage has been plenty so far, and setup was quick and easy like always with Apple. Overall, this iPad just works well and feels reliable. If you’re looking for a solid, fast tablet that can handle daily use without problems, this is a great choice.

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 bought the Apple 11” iPad with the A16 chip for my 10-year-old son, and it has been one of the best purchases I’ve made this year! From the second we turned it on, I could tell it was a major upgrade — super fast, smooth, and crystal clear.
He uses it for schoolwork, drawing, and watching YouTube, and it handles everything effortlessly. The A16 chip makes it lightning quick — no lag at all, even when he’s switching between apps or playing games. The 11-inch Liquid Retina display is gorgeous, with vibrant colors that make learning and creativity so much more fun.

Honestly, this iPad was worth every dollar. It’s powerful enough for me to use too, but perfect for a growing kid who loves tech. Apple really outdid themselves with this one!
Highly recommend for parents who want something reliable, fast, and fun for their kids.

When I took it out of the box, the first thing that caught my attention was how light and elegant it feels. The aluminum finish and the size of 11′′ make it perfect to take it anywhere without weighing or looking giant.

• Battery that holds up well during the day.

Bought this iPad a little over two weeks ago to upgrade my old one. Wow I did not realize how updated mine was!! This iPad is faster, larger storage capacity, and the screen is crystal clear. The blue color is gorgeous and the iPad itself is very lightweight.

I just got the new 11-inch iPad (2025) with the A16 chip and 128 GB in Blue, and I’m writing this review on it right now because I literally can’t put it down!
First – the screen is GORGEOUS. The Liquid Retina display is so bright and sharp that watching movies (especially with the free Apple TV+ trials they throw in) feels like being at the cinema. Colors pop, blacks are deep, and scrolling through photos or reading at night with True Tone is pure eye candy.
Performance? Lightning fast. I went from my old 2018 iPad that crawled to this one, and the difference is night and day. Apps open instantly, multitasking with Stage Manager is buttery smooth, I have Safari, Notes, Spotify, GoodNotes, and Netflix all open at once and zero lag. Even light editing in LumaFusion or playing Genshin Impact at high settings – it doesn’t even get warm!
The A16 chip is seriously overkill for what I do (studying, streaming, drawing, browsing), but that just means this iPad is future-proof. 128 GB is the sweet spot – I’ve already loaded it with all my university books, hundreds of movies for offline, and I still have more than half the storage free.
Battery life is insane too – I unplugged it at 100 % yesterday morning, used it all day for classes (Zoom + note-taking), watched 3 hours of YouTube in the evening, and it still had 38 % left when I went to bed. Two months of Apple Music free was the cherry on top – the stereo speakers + Spatial Audio make every song feel like a concert.
If you’re thinking about getting this iPad, STOP thinking and just do it. At this price it’s an absolute steal. I smile every single time I pick it up. Best decision of 2025 hands down! Thank you Apple for making something this perfect

My daughter absolutely loves it and uses it for schoolwork, learning apps, and entertainment. The battery life is also very good, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a great iPad and a perfect choice for kids and families. Highly recommend!

I used my iPad 9th generation for a long time and really liked its design, so I didn’t switch lightly. After trading it in and moving to this tablet, I can honestly say I’m very happy with the decision.
The design of this tablet was one of the first things I appreciated. It feels modern, clean, and comfortable to use, and it quickly grew on me. The display is bright and clear, making it enjoyable for watching videos, browsing the web, and reading for long periods without eye strain.
Performance has been smooth and reliable for all my daily tasks. Apps open quickly, multitasking feels responsive, and everything runs consistently without issues. Battery life has also been excellent and easily lasts through a full day of regular use.
After years of using the iPad 9th gen, this tablet has been a very satisfying replacement. The trade-in process led to a device that fits my everyday needs perfectly, and I’m using it comfortably as my main tablet now.
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who has been using an older tablet and is considering a change.

I’ve been using the iPad 11th Gen (A16) – Blue, 128GB for a bit now and it’s honestly one of the best all-around tablets I’ve owned.

Overall, this iPad hits the perfect balance between power, price, and portability. If you’re upgrading from an older iPad or buying your first one, you won’t be disappointed.

I picked up the 11” blue iPad recently, and honestly, it’s been one of my favorite tech purchases this year. The size hits a perfect sweet spot—big enough for productivity and entertainment, but still easy to carry around without feeling like I’m hauling a laptop everywhere.
The blue color looks way better in person than I expected. It’s subtle, not overly bright, and gives the iPad a clean, modern feel. It’s a nice change from the usual black or silver devices I normally buy.
Performance-wise, it’s smooth. Apps open instantly, and multitasking feels effortless. I mainly use it for watching movies, browsing, taking notes, and occasionally working on the go. Paired with a keyboard case, it handles emails and light work tasks surprisingly well.
Battery life is solid—I can get through a full day of normal use without stressing about finding a charger. Speakers sound great, the screen is sharp, and the build quality feels premium like all Apple products.
If you’re someone who wants a device that can switch between entertainment, productivity, and travel without being bulky, the 11” iPad is pretty much ideal. The blue color is just a bonus.
