The 11-inch A16 iPad is best as a media and light-use tablet, with a larger screen that works well for streaming, reading, shopping, video visits, and simple games. It also fits niche tasks like drawing, smart home control, camera feeds, and remote work when paired with a keyboard and mouse. The main drawbacks are the lack of Apple Intelligence support, only 6GB of RAM, and a non-laminated display, which make it feel dated for the price. It is a solid fit if you want a basic iPad for everyday viewing rather than a future-proofed model.

Shoppers who want a larger screen for reading, research, and browsing, because portrait and landscape viewing make documents and product details easier to see.
B2BigAl LKKwan Luigis3rdcousin
Families using a tablet for shared home tasks, because it works well for video calls, smart-home control, and wall-mounted displays.
Thunderknight spec2 reaperman
People who mainly stream video and play light mobile games, because the display is well suited to content consumption.
Elwots dealmonkey
Traveling professionals who need a portable work screen, because it can pair with a keyboard and mouse for remote desktop sessions.
Mattphoto101 BevoPush

Shoppers waiting for a newer-feeling base model, because an A18 upgrade is expected soon and the price gap to newer chips may be small.
blatay joshuaNH joshuaNH joshuaNH
Buyers who want Apple Intelligence features, because the A16 chip and 6GB of RAM do not support them.

People expecting a premium display experience, because the screen is non-laminated and the 11-inch size can feel a bit small.
LKKwan anerdnamedjoshua
People who need a tablet for demanding work apps, because multitasking can be unreliable and the device is better suited to lighter use.

Common Questions (5)

Yes for streaming, web browsing, reading, light games, shopping, and other basic tasks. The 11-inch screen is a bit small for some uses, but it works well as a larger display for content and everyday browsing.
Elwots dealmonkey LKKwan adiscgolfer
$299 is considered an okay price, but it has been cheaper before, including around $279 before cashback and about $275 across retailers in December. If you want the newer chip and features, waiting for the next base iPad may make sense.
geekwithoutacause anon5958 megabit2k DrRad
Yes. It can be useful for viewing drawings, reading documents, and pairing with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard for remote work sessions like Azure Virtual Desktop. The larger screen is also easier than a phone for reviewing details and sharing with someone else.
fventura03 BevoPush B2BigAl Luigis3rdcousin
No. The A16 chip and its 6GB of RAM do not support Apple Intelligence, and that may also limit future OS feature support. If Apple Intelligence matters, the upcoming base iPad with an A18 or A19 chip is the better target.
im4GMG blatay joshuaNH
Yes, constant charging can wear the battery over time. Limiting charge to 80% is a practical way to reduce battery stress if the iPad supports that setting.

Quote from Mr_Marvelus

Where?

As of early 2026,
no released iPads currently feature the A18 chip. However, the upcoming 12th-generation entry-level iPad (expected in spring 2026) is set to feature the A18 chip. This new 2026 base model will focus on performance upgrades for AI, marking a significant shift from the current A16-powered 11th-gen iPad

so the A18 has sold for as cheap as $329... so for an extra $30.00 you are getting ALOT MORE POWER and efficiency. Just based on this info I could never get the A16.

the a18 what? no ipads have had the a18 yet; the 12th gen ipad is supposed to be releasead "early 2026", but hasn't happened yet

I hate that I had to pay $300 for a 2025 entry tablet. But when Grandma is sad her tablet died and can't watch her movies. WELL guess I have to take the hit 😅

So is one of these retailers going to break up the current price standoff and at least drop this down to $279 if not $249 (where it should be)? I thought maybe Amazon since this is supposed to their sale week.

Maybe I'm just old, but iPads (and tablets in general) feel like they're 2010s relics. Phones got bigger to the point where they basically are mini-tablets. I guess they have uses in education though, but Chromebooks and MacBook Neo are probably better.

i have this one and am thinking of getting ipad air, i use mine constantly at work looking through drawings, its way more convenient than using my iphone 17 pro max.

I would stay away from those Amazon tablets. Set some up for nephews and they are painfully slow
