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.
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.

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.

Got a "ike new" from Amazon for $170 a couple of months ago but this is a decent price. Wait for the new ones to come out and these will be even cheaper.

Wow, they are 285 used now.

Deal still active at BestBuy. I got one for one of my kids last Xmas and the best price I could find was $280-$290. Paired it with a 3rd party pen stylus for $26 and they use it all the time for drawing and playing a few games.

Abt just sent me an email this morning that they have the same A16 series on sale for $321. So this is an okay deal if you are itching to pick one up. Otherwise waiting for the newer model might be a smart play if you want the newer chip and features.

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.

They're good for work. You can pair a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to them and utilize windows app to get to an Azure virtual Desktop session (if your work uses that) which makes them really versatile for traveling. I'd still love to have one for this exact reason. I work in IT and even when I'm off work I frequently have to jump on occasionally to help do something and it's much easier than carrying a laptop around.

Is this A16 iPad a good deal at $299, or should I wait for a newer model?
