iHelp's verdict
M4 chip, March 2026. The iPad I'd point most people at if the basic iPad isn't quite enough.
People who find the basic iPad a little limiting and want a faster chip, a better screen and Apple Pencil Pro support, without paying iPad Pro prices.
M4 chip with 12GB of memory, 11-inch Liquid Retina display, Wi-Fi 7 and a landscape 12MP front camera. Runs every Apple Intelligence feature.
