You can save up to 20% off compared to purchasing directly from the Apple Store, and these prices are even better than Apple's educational discounts.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the top choice, offering the full benefits of iOS and impressive performance at a budget-friendly price. Released on March 12, 2025, the current generation model comes more than two years after its predecessor (October 2022). Notable upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and enhanced storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's starting price of $399.

The features that remain consistent include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
