"The iPad has always been the perfect tablet. A great price, a good amount of performance, solid battery life, and a big enough screen. That's why it's even more noteworthy when this humble slate goes on sale. Black Friday iPad deals aboundyes, even if it's not Black Friday anymore! But no, you don't really need to buy that discounted iPad Pro that still costs nearly $1,000. Buy Apple's entry-level iPad for $274 instead,"
"The iPad A16 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) arrived early this year and is the only device in Apple's lineup that doesn't support Apple Intelligence. Maybe that's a good thing, considering that many of those artificial intelligence features aren't very useful right now. However, early rumors suggest that Apple is readying a 12th-gen iPad in the first few months of 2026, and expect to see Apple Intelligence support. It's otherwise expected to be a processor bump, so don't expect much else."
The entry-level iPad A16 combines solid performance, long battery life, and an 11-inch display at a low price point, currently discounted to $274. The device lacks Apple Intelligence support, though rumors point to a 12th-generation iPad in early 2026 that may add those features and deliver a processor upgrade. iPadOS 26 introduces windowing features, allowing resized windows, split-screen gestures, and Slide Over's return in 26.1. The iPad handles streaming, productivity, and gaming well, works with a Bluetooth keyboard for extended typing, supports first-gen Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil USB-C, and has a non‑fully laminated display with an air gap.
