Apple IPad (11″ A16 CHIP – 256GB -Wi-Fi Only) Brand New

Description

The iPad 11th generation (also called the iPad 11-inch (A16) or simply iPad (2025) ) is Apple’s entry-level tablet. Apple announced it on March 4, 2025, and released it on March 12, 2025. It serves as a minor refresh of the 10th-generation model, keeping the same overall design while upgrading the processor, starting storage, and RAM.

Design and Build
Dimensions: 9.79 x 7.07 x 0.28 inches (248.6 x 179.5 x 7 mm).
Weight: 477 g (Wi-Fi model) or 481 g (Wi-Fi + Cellular model).
Build: Aluminum unibody with flat sides and rounded corners. It features an all-screen design with thin bezels.
Colors: Silver, Blue, Pink, Yellow.
Security: Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the top power button.
Other: Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating on the display. No headphone jack.

It retains the same chassis as the previous generation, with the “iPad” logo removed from the back.

Display
Size: 11-inch Liquid Retina (IPS LCD) display (marketed as 11″; actual diagonal ~10.86–10.9 inches).
Resolution: 2360 x 1640 pixels at 264 ppi.
Brightness: Up to 500 nits.
Features: True Tone (adapts white balance to ambient light), sRGB color gamut, LED backlit Multi-Touch with IPS technology. No ProMotion (60Hz refresh rate), no anti-reflective coating, and no P3 wide color (unlike higher-end models).
Support: Works with Apple Pencil (USB-C) and Apple Pencil (1st generation via adapter).

The display is bright and sharp enough for everyday use, media consumption, and light productivity, though it lacks lamination found on premium iPads.

Performance and Storage
Chip: Apple A16 Bionic (4 nm process) — 5-core CPU (up to ~3.46 GHz), 4-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine.
RAM: 6 GB LPDDR5.
Storage Options: 128 GB (base), 256 GB, or 512 GB (no microSD expansion).
Performance Notes: The A16 provides a noticeable boost over the A14 in the 10th-gen iPad, handling everyday tasks, multitasking, light gaming, and video editing smoothly. However, it does not support Apple Intelligence features. It runs the latest iPadOS (originally iPadOS 18.3.2; current as of April 2026: iPadOS 26.4.1).

Cameras
Rear: 12 MP Wide camera (ƒ/1.8 aperture), autofocus with Focus Pixels, 5x digital zoom, panorama up to 63 MP, Smart HDR 4, 4K video recording at 24/25/30/60 fps, 1080p slo-mo.

Front: 12 MP Ultra Wide landscape-oriented camera (ƒ/2.4), Center Stage (auto-framing for video calls), 1080p HD video.

The landscape front camera is great for video calls in keyboard mode.

No Thunderbolt/USB 4 or advanced connectivity.

Battery and Charging
Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of web browsing or video playback (Wi-Fi); slightly less on cellular.
Capacity: Approximately 7,606–7,698 mAh (28.93 Wh).
Charging: Supports up to 45W fast charging via USB-C (charger sold separately).

Prices may vary by region or promotions.

Who It’s For
This is an affordable, reliable tablet ideal for students, casual users, media consumption, web browsing, note-taking (with Pencil), and light productivity. The upgrades (A16 chip, 6 GB RAM, doubled base storage) make it more future-proof than the prior model, but it skips premium features like laminated displays, higher refresh rates, or Apple Intelligence.

It remains a strong budget option, though rumors suggest a 12th-generation model with a more powerful chip (possibly A18/A19) could arrive later in the year.
