  • Our take on the Apple 11-inch iPad A16 Chip Wi-Fi 256GB Blue

    The 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip is Apple's entry-level tablet, now with a larger screen and double the base storage of the model it replaces. It covers browsing, streaming, notes, video calls and light gaming well, and the USB-C port and Wi-Fi 6 keep it current. It lacks the laminated display, Apple Pencil Pro support and Magic Keyboard fit of the iPad Air, so buyers who draw or type heavily should weigh the Air. Reviewers call it the sensible pick for most casual tablet users.

    Questions and answers

    Is this iPad worth it over the iPad Air?
    For browsing, streaming, notes and light games, yes. The Air adds a laminated 120Hz display, Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard support, which matter if you draw or type a lot.
    Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
    It supports the USB-C Apple Pencil and the first-generation Apple Pencil with a USB-C adapter. It does not support the Apple Pencil Pro.
    How much storage should I get?
    256GB suits most people who keep some video offline and play a few games. Heavy media hoarders should look higher up the iPad line.
    Is the screen good for drawing?
    It is fine for sketching and notes, but the non-laminated display and 60Hz refresh rate make it less precise than the iPad Air or Pro for serious artwork.
    What is in the box?
    The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and documentation. The power adapter is sold separately in most regions.
    Does it support a keyboard?
    It works with Bluetooth keyboards and some USB-C and folio keyboard cases, but not Apple's Magic Keyboard.
    Where is the Apple 11-inch iPad A16 Chip Wi-Fi 256GB Blue cheapest?
