It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and higher base storage of 128GB (versus 64GB). Remarkably, it's priced at a lower launch price of $349 compared to the previous model's $399.

The new iPad retains the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it one of the best iPads for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
