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.

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)

Hopefully one day the A chips will get stage manager because it’s very helpful for studying but I’ll tell you right now it isn’t worth paying extra hundreds. I would’ve got the a16 if it was out when

You’re gonna love it! You nailed it, there’s really nothing that comes close to the iPad. And the A16 iPad is a crazy good deal. Congrats!

It’s urgent to have an iPad right now? If the answer is yes get the iPad A16, if’s isn’t urgent, wait
