Our take on the Apple 11-Inch iPad A16 Chip With Wi-Fi 256GB Rose Gold Case

This is Apple's mainstream 11-inch iPad, built on the A16 chip with 256GB of storage and Wi-Fi. It is the entry point to the iPad line: a Retina display, all-day battery life and the full iPadOS app library, without the laminated screen, Apple Pencil Pro support or keyboard connector of the iPad Air. It suits students, families and anyone who mostly streams, browses, reads and takes notes. Reviewers call it the safest tablet for most people, while noting the older screen and accessory limits next to the Air.

Questions and answers

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.
