“Apple’s most affordable iPad models, such as the 9th- and 10th-gen iPads, have always been bestsellers. Thanks to perfectly adequate performance and sufficient storage space, this new model will also be a success.”

“The iPad (11th Gen) doesn't shake up the formula, but this is the Apple tablet for most. With significantly improved performance thanks to its A16 chip, longer battery life and bigger 128GB starting storage, Apple's latest affordable tablet is better than ever.”
