iPad (11-inch, 2024)

In my opinion, Apple should make iPadOS a more compelling operating system for desktop like functionality, but it should not try to be macOS. The changes to multitasking in iPadOS 26 have been great if you use the iPad with an external keyboard and mouse. They are a good step forward in giving the i

That’s smart marketing. Placing the price of iPad 9 next to iPad (A16) to make you feel it’s a good deal.

This should be the top post. This is insanely misleading advertisement and not an A16 but an iPad that’s two generations back from it.

I agree. Split view and slide over are what makes iPad, an iPad. Even though my iPad A16 is my first Apple product from the ecosystem, it's a real downer removing such full screen features. I hope those features make a comeback.

I actually chose to specifically get an m4 air + a16 iPad to use this feature. It's called Sidecar. I could've bought the m4 mbp, but the air + ipad were a better choice for me in the end. Similar performance to the mbp, but with 2 screens (and the iPad can be used for note taking)

You seem like an iPad power-user. I'm not sure how you ended up deciding on the A16. I think I'd get an Air and a pencil, then a thrid-party keyboard folio case; Logitech makes some pretty good ones.

I work for a very large F500 manufacturer. We had been putting $1800 per unit Touch Windows devices into some of our plants for our line managers to use as their "mobile computer". They were just not durable enough to withstand the harsh conditions of the plants. Endless breakage. We're about to sta

I went from the iPad Pro 10.5 to just the standard IPad A16 model. The Pro was completely overkill for me. I am very happy with this model.

I got iPad A16 last month and I’m loving it so far. Yes, the slide over is really nice for all the things you mentioned and then some. I’m guessing if enough people complain about slide over being removed, they might put it back or create a toggle atleast. I’m planning on not updating to iPadOS 26 w
