Community Reviews
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.
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.
$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.
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.
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.
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.

The ONLY product that apple sells and has value are it's ipads.
Personally, I would argue that this is not worth it due to the large leap in performance with the A18 chip and the very small price difference. TO me it is a no brainer get yourself a A18.

How are you going to avoid that? Any suggestions?
I have 3 that are wall mounted and powered by power over ethernet. I use these to control my smart devices and music collection.
I need some ideas as I'd like to do the same thing.
Thanks.
I have the same "desire." But, I'm concerned with destroying the battery being plugged in all the time.

I bought my current wall mounts on Amazon as they were significantly less expensive than Vidamounnts. Mine are flush mount and I painted them to match my walls.
A Mac mini connected to my multi-zone Denon receiver serves as my jukebox using iTunes. Control is either with the iTunes Remote app or my Denon receiver's app. I usually use iTunes Remote app though.
The wall iPads have their own Apple ID and then I link them to my main Apple ID via family sharing. That way I can control my HomeKit devices with them without having all my other personal info on these iPads.
