It boasts the speedy A16 chip, a significant upgrade from the A14 in its predecessor, and starts with a generous 128GB of storage, doubling the previous model's base capacity at the same price point. The design remains familiar, available in silver, blue, yellow, and pink, but it's the internal enhancements that make this iPad a standout.

Available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, it supports Apple Intelligence and is compatible with a new Magic Keyboard, featuring a row of function keys and a trackpad, available at Apple.
