The spotlight shines on the M3 iPad Air, available starting at $599, and the 11th-generation baseline iPad, which kicks off at a more accessible $349. These updates are more about enhancing performance than introducing a complete redesign, yet they represent the cutting-edge 2025 models, offering superior power over their predecessors. If you're considering a new Apple tablet, these are definitely worth a look.

Apple iPad (11th Generation)

Out March 12### Apple iPad (11th Generation)

$349.00 at AmazonFor the everyday user with typical tablet needs, the 11th-generation iPad is a stellar choice. It's powered by the swift A16 chip, a step up from the A14 in the previous model. Plus, it now starts at 128GB of storage, doubling the previous model's capacity at the same price point. The design remains familiar, available in silver, blue, yellow, and pink, but it's enhanced in key areas. Notably, it does not include Apple Intelligence.

If you can do without that feature (and as an iPhone 16 user, I can attest you won't miss it), this iPad offers all the power and performance you'll need for everyday tasks like gaming, web browsing, video watching, social media scrolling, and email checking. It's built to handle these tasks efficiently for years to come.

$269.00 at AppleThe new iPad Air, equipped with the M3 chip, occupies the sweet spot in Apple's tablet range. It's more powerful than the baseline iPad but doesn't quite reach the heights of the iPad Pro. If you're seeking more computational power than the entry-level model offers, the iPad Air is your go-to. It's available in both 11-inch and 13-inch sizes.

The M3 chip not only boosts performance but also supports Apple Intelligence, a feature missing from the baseline iPad. Additionally, it's compatible with a new Magic Keyboard, available at Apple, featuring function keys and a trackpad for enhanced productivity.

Where to Buy Previous Generation iPads

With numerous iPad generations to date, you might be curious about the previous models still available in 2025. It's a great time to consider purchasing an older iPad, especially when new models are released.
