Our take on the Apple iPad (2025) A16 Chip Wi-Fi + Cellular 128GB

The 2025 base iPad pairs Apple's A16 chip with a 10.9-inch 2360x1640 screen, 128GB of storage and 5G cellular in a 17-ounce body. It keeps the familiar formula: Touch ID fingerprint reader, USB-C, a 12MP front camera and 4K video, with no stylus in the box and no water resistance. The best new price is $569 at Abt Electronics as of November 7, 2026, with three stores listing it new. That sits at the top of its recent range, so this is not a discount moment for the cellular model.

Questions and answers

Is the 2025 iPad with A16 worth it over the previous model?
If you have a 9th- or 10th-generation iPad, the jump in chip speed and the 128GB base storage are the main gains. From a recent base iPad, the upgrade is modest.
Does this iPad work with the Apple Pencil?
The listing shows no active digitizer and no pen in the box, so treat stylus support as limited or absent. Check Apple's compatibility list for the exact 2025 model before buying a pen.
How is the battery life?
Owners report about a full day of mixed browsing, video and note-taking. Heavy gaming or 5G hotspot use will drain it faster.
What is in the box?
The tablet and a USB-C charging cable, with no power adapter and no keyboard or stylus. You supply your own USB-C charger.
Is the cellular version worth the extra cost?
Only if you regularly work or travel away from Wi-Fi. The eSIM setup is easy, but the cellular model costs noticeably more than the Wi-Fi one.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price is $569 at Abt Electronics as of November 7, 2026, near the top of its recent range. Base iPads typically drop during back-to-school and Black Friday sales.
