The iPad range consists of no fewer than four models: iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Mini and the standard iPad. The latter is also called the ‘entry model’ and has recently been renewed by Apple. The 11th generation iPad from 2025 has received some innovations compared to the previous model.
The most important innovation, and also the strangest, is the A16 chip. Of course this will ensure better performance, but Apple Intelligence cannot be used on this iPad. A strange choice from Apple. We list the other innovations for you.
New for the iPad 11th generation
In the overview below you can view the innovations for the iPad 11th generation compared to the iPad 10 from 2022. The design, display and color combinations have remained the same as the previous generation.
- A16 chip IPV A14 processor
- Standard 128 GB storage instead of 64 GB
- Also available with 512 GB storage
- Support for Bluetooth 5.3 instead of 5.2
- Cellular models with only ESIM, physical SIM card not possible
- Price decrease from € 479 to € 409
No support for Apple Intelligence
The biggest innovation for the 11th generation iPad is to be a faster processor. Instead of an A14 chip, the iPad gets an A16 Bionic processor with Neural Engine that makes it possible to perform less complex tasks energy-efficiently. Yet we think that you will not notice much of this in practice.
That is nice, but one function is missing: the support for Apple Intelligence. A striking choice, do you want to use Apple’s personal intelligence system on an iPad? Then you have to opt for the latest iPad Mini, iPad Air with M1 or newer or the iPad Pro with M1 or newer.
Conclusion Differences iPad 11 and iPad 10
The iPad 11th generation has received a few interesting improvements such as more standard storage and support for Bluetooth 5.3. The price decrease is also included, especially now that Apple offers more storage as standard. The A16 chip is a disappointment, which means that Apple Intelligence is missing and the iPad will be very outdated in a year or two.
The iPad 11th generation is a great tablet for people who want to get acquainted with an iPad for the first time, or who want to use the device for light tasks such as surfing the internet, e-mailing and communicating. Small games are also doing fine on this device.
