The eleventh generation iPad (also marketed as the iPad (A16)) is a tablet computer developed and marketed by Apple, as the successor of the tenth generation iPad. It was announced on March 4, 2025.[2]

Specifications

Like its predecessor, the Touch ID sensor is located in the power button and shares the same colors of silver, blue, pink, and yellow.[3]

Like the tenth generation iPad, it has an 11-inch (28 cm) 2360x1640 unlaminated Liquid Retina display. The 11th generation iPad uses the A16 processor, previously used in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.[4]

The chip has a 5-core CPU, a 4-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine.[5] Because of the chip and RAM limitations, the iPad does not support Apple Intelligence. Different from the iPad 10th-generation, this iPad uses 6GB RAM, the same as the iPhone 14 Pro series.[6]

The 11th generation iPad has Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless capabilities, as well as sub-6GHz 5G on cellular models. Connectivity is limited to USB 2.0 transfer speeds. The 11th generation iPad does not include a headphone connector, requiring wireless headphones or a USB-C adapter, both sold separately.

Accessories

The eleventh-generation iPad supports Apple Pencil (USB-C) and the first-generation Apple Pencil. Additionally, the eleventh-generation iPad supports the same keyboard accessory, Magic Keyboard Folio, as its predecessor.[7][8]
