Our take on the Apple iPad (2025) A16 Chip Wi-Fi + Cellular 256GB

The 2025 iPad is Apple's entry-level tablet, now with the A16 chip, 256GB of storage and optional 5G cellular. It keeps the 11-inch 2360x1640 screen at 60Hz, a 12MP front camera and USB-C, and works with Apple Pencil and keyboard accessories sold separately. Against the iPad Air it gives up the faster chip, laminated display and Pencil Pro support, but it covers streaming, notes and schoolwork well. Owners rate it highly for battery life and smooth everyday performance, while noting the 60Hz screen and the extra cost of accessories.

Questions and answers

Is the 2025 iPad worth it over the previous model?
If you want more storage and 5G in the base iPad, yes. The A16 chip is a modest step up, so owners of a recent iPad have little reason to upgrade.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
Yes, it supports Apple Pencil, but the stylus is not included. Check which Pencil generation matches this model before buying.
Is 256GB enough?
For most people, yes. It holds plenty of apps, photos and downloaded video, and there is no memory card slot to expand it later.
How fast is the cellular connection?
It supports 5G through an eSIM, so you can add a data plan without a physical SIM card.
Is the screen good for drawing?
It is sharp and works with the Pencil, but the 60Hz refresh rate makes strokes feel less fluid than on 120Hz iPad Pro models.
Does it come with a charger or keyboard?
No keyboard is included, and the Pencil is sold separately. Check the box contents for the charging adapter before you buy.
