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

The iPad 11-inch A16 is Apple's mainstream tablet, built around an 11-inch 2360 x 1640 Liquid Retina display and the A16 chip. It covers the basics well: all-day battery life, USB-C, a good front camera for video calls and support for the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio. It sits below the iPad Air, which adds the M-series chip, a laminated anti-reflective screen and a newer Pencil, so the A16 model suits people who want a dependable iPad for streaming, browsing, notes and light work rather than demanding apps. Reviewers generally call it the sensible default iPad, while noting the screen and accessories are a step behind the Air.

Questions and answers

Is the A16 iPad worth it over the iPad Air?
For browsing, streaming, notes and light work, yes. The Air is worth the step up if you edit video, draw seriously or want the laminated anti-reflective screen and newer Pencil.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
Yes, 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 long does the battery last?
Apple rates it for about 10 hours of web browsing or video over Wi-Fi. Most owners get through a full day of mixed use.
Is the screen good for drawing and notes?
It is fine for notes and casual sketching. The non-laminated display and 60 Hz refresh rate make it less precise for professional drawing than the Air or Pro.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. The Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.
Can it replace a laptop?
For email, documents, video calls and streaming, often yes, especially with a keyboard. For heavy multitasking or desktop software, a laptop or an M-chip iPad is a better fit.
