The current generation, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous model (October 2022). It boasts upgrades like a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and higher base storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the $399 starting price of the previous model.

The features that remain include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, which transforms it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Plus, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
