I was hoping to find one at $250 or $275 before I have to pull the trigger for college-bound kid.
most posts are regurgitating flyers or major retailers. I suppose SD has to encourage that since evidently true deals are less often the app would be stale
Community Reviews
Apple's 11th-gen base iPad is a solid entry-level tablet for reading, everyday productivity, and general use, especially at the $299 price point. The A16 refresh is described as the current base model, and the 128GB storage plus free shipping make it feel like a practical mainstream option. Case and screen protector compatibility with the 10th-gen model appears to carry over, which helps existing owners. The main knocks are the 60Hz display and the lack of USB 3 transfer speeds and Apple Intelligence support. It is a straightforward pick if you want a familiar iPad without stepping up to the Air or Pro.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, but only in occasional deals. Micro Center has reportedly hit $299 a couple of times and even $250 or less a few weeks ago, and a used Amazon unit was bought for $230 with a one-year Apple warranty.
Yes. The iPad 10th Gen case fits the iPad 11th Gen A16, and a screen protector made for the 10th Gen also fits the 11th Gen. That makes upgrading easier if you already own accessories.
Yes. Amazon, Walmart, and Target have been listed at the same $299 price, with Amazon offering multiple colors at that price and Target at $299.99. If you want a different color, Amazon has Silver, Blue, Yellow, and Pink at $299.
It is the base iPad refreshed in March, so it is not an old model. It is also not expected to be replaced by a new base model in September.
No. It still has a 60Hz display, and it does not add Apple Intelligence or USB-3 transfer speeds. Those are the main limitations called out for this model.

1. No usb-3 transfer speeds
2. No support for Apple Intelligence
No support for screen extension is another issue but I'll give a pass on that one..
This new iPad 11 doesn't address those issue, I hope they put 17Pro chip inside next year
