For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers all the benefits of iOS as well as snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model was released on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). The upgrades include a more powerful processor (A16 vs A14), more RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and more storage (128GB vs 64GB). Best of all, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's release price of $399.

The specs that have carried over include the 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to convert it into a mini laptop for enhanced workflow, making it one of the best iPads for students, and it works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.

$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)

Released in March, this current generation model is only one year newer than the 6th gen, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip.
