iPad shoppers beware: One of the new models is not like the others
Briefly

Apple recently updated its iPad lineup, introducing a third-generation iPad Air and an eleventh-generation iPad, but confusion persists among consumers. Notably, the new entry-level iPad, equipped with only 6GB of memory and an outdated A16 chip, is unable to run Apple's new AI platform, Apple Intelligence, requiring at least 8GB of memory. The decision seems strategically aimed at encouraging consumers to opt for more expensive models such as the iPad mini and iPad Air, complicating the selection process for potential buyers looking for capabilities and performance.
The new eleventh-generation iPad lacks the necessary 8GB of memory to support Apple's latest AI platform, which is surprising given its recent update.
Apple's decision to equip the new iPad with only 6GB of memory and an older A16 chip seems aimed at pushing consumers towards its more expensive models.
