The lineup includes the M3 iPad Air, starting at $599, and the new 11th-generation baseline iPad, starting at $349. These updates are more about enhancing performance rather than a complete redesign, but as the latest 2025 models, they offer significant improvements over their predecessors. If you're considering a new Apple tablet, these are the ones to watch.

Apple iPad (11th Generation)

2$349.00 at AmazonFor those with everyday tablet needs, the new 11th-generation iPad is the perfect choice. It's powered by the speedy A16 chip, an upgrade from the A14 in the previous model, and starts at 128GB of storage, doubling the previous starting capacity at no extra cost. The design remains familiar, available in silver, blue, yellow, and pink. While it excels in performance, it's worth noting that it does not include Apple Intelligence. If you can do without that feature (and as an iPhone 16 user, I can attest it's not a deal-breaker), this iPad will handle all your typical tasks—gaming, browsing, video watching, social media scrolling, and email checking—with ease for years to come.

0$269.00 at AppleThe new iPad Air, equipped with the M3 chip, strikes a balance in Apple's tablet range, offering superior specs compared to the baseline iPad but not quite reaching the power of the iPad Pro. If you're looking for more computing power than the entry-level model provides, the iPad Air is an excellent choice, available in both 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. It supports Apple Intelligence and is compatible with the new Magic Keyboard, which features a row of function keys and a trackpad, enhancing your productivity.
