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

The 11-inch iPad (A16) is Apple's mainstream tablet, updated with the A16 chip and 256GB of storage. It keeps the 11-inch Retina display, USB-C and Wi-Fi 6, and runs iPadOS with full access to the App Store and Apple Pencil support. It suits students, casual users and families who want a dependable tablet without the Pro line's price or features. Against the iPad Air and Pro it gives up laminated display, ProMotion and M-series power, but it covers browsing, streaming, notes and light games well.

Questions and answers

Is the A16 iPad worth it over the iPad Air?
If you mainly browse, stream and take notes, the A16 iPad covers it. The Air adds a laminated 60Hz-to-120Hz display, M-series power and Apple Pencil Pro support for heavier creative work.
Does it support Apple Intelligence?
No. Apple Intelligence requires newer chips, so this model does not get those features.
Which Apple Pencil works with it?
It works with the USB-C Apple Pencil and the first-generation Apple Pencil via an adapter. It does not support the Apple Pencil Pro.
Is 256GB enough?
For most people, yes. It holds large app libraries, photos and downloaded video, though heavy video editing or big game collections may want more.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and documentation. The power adapter and any case or Pencil are sold separately.
Can I use a keyboard with it?
Yes, through Bluetooth or a USB-C keyboard, and third-party keyboard cases are available. Apple's Magic Keyboard for this model is sold separately.
Where is the Apple 11-inch iPad A16 Chip Wi-Fi 256GB Blue Case cheapest?
At Best Buy, for $594.99, as of our latest check.
