Apple's latest entry-level iPad covers the basics and delivers fast performance thanks to Apple's A16 chip, which provides plenty of power for streaming, reading, and even casual games like Dredge and Tiny Wings. It offers twice the storage space of the previous model (128GB vs. 64GB), and at 11 inches, it has the largest display of any entry-level iPad to date. It also offers up to 10 hours of battery life, so you should be able to get through a full day without needing to charge it.

Apple's newest iPad Pros feature an M5 processor, N1 chip, and C1X chip for cellular-enabled versions. They're faster, support Wi-Fi 7, charge faster, and start with 12GB of RAM.
