Unveiling the iPad (2025): Apple’s Latest Entry into the Tablet Market
Apple has unveiled its latest offerings in the iPad lineup, including the refreshed iPad Air (2025) and an all-new eleventh-generation standard iPad. While retaining a similar design to its 2022 predecessor, this new iPad sees modest improvements in specifications.
Technical Enhancements and Features
The 2025 edition of the standard iPad is powered by a variant of Apple’s A16 chip that was first introduced with the premium iPhone 14 Pro models. However, this iteration includes one fewer CPU and GPU core than its more powerful sibling. While Apple has not disclosed specific RAM details, it’s reasonable to presume that it features less than 8GB given that it lacks support for Apple Intelligence. Additionally, storage options have seen a shift as well; now starting from 128GB compared to last year’s 64GB base model.

The newly configured A16 chip powers up performance effortlessly.
Connectivity and Display
This updated model boasts Bluetooth 5.3 technology—a step up from the Bluetooth 5.2 found on previous generations—enhancing connectivity capabilities across devices. The visual experience is furnished through an impressive eleven-inch Liquid Retina display featuring IPS technology with a refresh rate capped at 60Hz alongside two dual-camera systems positioned at rear: both sporting sensors offering resolutions of 12MP each. User security remains intact with Touch ID now seamlessly integrated into the power button.
Aesthetic Choices and Pricing
The aesthetic palette for this model includes Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow shades catering to diverse preferences among users. The entry-level Wi-Fi only version starts at $349 or €399 or £329 while models equipped with cellular capability are priced from $499 or €569 or £479 respectively—marking competitive pricing within its segment.
Pre-orders will initiate promptly after launch announcements—the official rollout slated for March 12 promises initial deliveries shortly thereafter.
