Apple iPad (11th Generation)

Ideal for everyday tablet users, the 11th-generation iPad shines with its A16 chip, a significant upgrade from the previous generation's A14. Starting storage doubles to 128GB at no extra cost. Aesthetically similar to its predecessor, it's available in silver, blue, yellow, and pink. While internal improvements are substantial, it notably lacks Apple Intelligence.

For users primarily browsing, streaming, gaming, or using social media, this iPad offers ample power and performance for years to come.

New iPad Air with M3 Chip

The new iPad Air occupies a sweet spot in Apple's lineup, surpassing the baseline iPad in performance but falling short of the iPad Pro. Powered by the M3 chip and supporting Apple Intelligence (unlike the base model), it's available in 11-inch and 13-inch options. It also boasts compatibility with a new Magic Keyboard featuring function keys and a trackpad.
