Released March 12, 2025, this generation boasts significant upgrades from its 2022 predecessor: a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and doubled base storage (128GB vs 64GB). Remarkably, its $349 launch price undercuts the previous model's $399 debut.
Retaining beloved features, it keeps the crisp 10.9" Liquid Retina display (2360x1640 resolution), USB-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and quality cameras. Full compatibility with Magic Folio keyboards transforms it into a productivity powerhouse—ideal for students—while supporting both the newest Apple Pencil models.
