- Is the A16 iPad fast enough for school and work?
- Yes. The A16 handles documents, video calls, note apps and multitasking without lag. Only heavy video editing or 3D work needs the Air or Pro.
- How does it compare with the iPad Air?
- The Air has a laminated screen, a more powerful chip, Apple Pencil Pro support and better speakers. This iPad is the better pick if you mainly stream, browse and take notes.
- Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
- It supports the USB-C Apple Pencil and the first-generation Apple Pencil with an adapter. It does not support the Apple Pencil Pro or magnetic charging.
