- Is the A16 iPad worth it over the iPad Air?
- For streaming, browsing, reading and light notes, yes. The Air buys a laminated 120Hz screen, Apple Pencil Pro support and the Magic Keyboard, which matter mainly for drawing and heavy typing.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
- It supports the USB-C Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to charge. It does not support the Apple Pencil Pro or the second-generation Pencil.
- Is 256GB enough?
- Yes for most people. It holds a large offline video and photo library plus games, and iCloud can offload the rest. Choose more only if you edit large video files.
- How long does the battery last?
- About a full day of mixed use, and longer if you mostly read or stream. Heavy gaming drains it faster.
- Can I use a keyboard with it?
- Yes, through Bluetooth and USB-C keyboards and cases. It does not take the Magic Keyboard made for the Air and Pro.
- Is the screen good for drawing?
- It works for sketching and note-taking, but the non-laminated panel and 60Hz refresh rate make it less precise than the Air for serious artwork.
- Where is the Apple 11-Inch iPad A16 Chip With Wi-Fi 256GB Rose Gold Case cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $594.99, as of our latest check.
