Apple’s A16 iPad just dropped back down to $299, which is the best price we’ve seen all year. In fact, it’s the lowest price since Black Friday, and we don’t expect it to go any lower until the holiday season rolls around again.
The A16 iPad comes with an 11-inch Liquid Retina display that’s sharp, bright, and large enough to make this a genuinely good media device, whether you prefer streaming, reading, sketching, or gaming. The 12MP front camera with Center Stage also gives you a great built-in camera for video calls, and since this tablet comes with 128GB of storage space, you’re getting more than enough for apps, games, and movies.
When we reviewed the A16 iPad, we gave it a 4-star rating and loved the design, display, and performance. Granted, you’re not getting Apple Intelligence or a laminated display, but if you want that in an 11-inch tablet, you can spend twice as much on an iPad Air. The A16 is the same processor that powered the iPhone 14 Pro. It handles video editing, multitasking, gaming, and anything else most people throw at a tablet without slowing down or feeling like a compromise.
At $299, the 4-star iPad A16 is an easy recommendation for anyone who wants a reliable all-around tablet without overpaying for features they won’t use.
