New iPad Air and 11th-Gen iPad Preorders Open at Amazon

The first is the M3 iPad Air, starting at $599, and the second is the new 11th-generation baseline iPad, priced at $349. These are incremental upgrades rather than major redesigns, but as the latest 2025 models, they offer enhanced performance over their predecessors, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to purchase a new Apple tablet.

Apple iPad (11th Generation)

2$349.00 at AmazonIf you're an average user with typical tablet needs, the new 11th-generation iPad is the perfect choice. It's powered by the faster A16 chip, which replaces the A14 chip found in the previous model. Additionally, it now starts with 128GB of storage, doubling the base capacity at no extra cost. The design and functionality remain largely the same, with color options including silver, blue, yellow, and pink. While it excels in performance across various internal metrics, it's important to note that it does not include Apple Intelligence.

For those who can do without Apple Intelligence (and as an iPhone 16 user, I can confirm it's not essential), the 11th-gen iPad offers all the power and performance you'll need for everyday tasks such as gaming, web browsing, video streaming, social media scrolling, and email checking. It's built to handle these activities smoothly for years to come.

As its name suggests, it's equipped with Apple's powerful M3 chip and supports Apple Intelligence, setting it apart from the baseline model. It's also compatible with a new Magic Keyboard (available at Apple) that includes a row of function keys and a trackpad, enhancing your productivity.
