Reviews for the Apple iPad 11 (2025)
Apple iPad 11 (2025) 为中端设备提供了高性能,因为它必须如此。这也是新版 iPad 10 的特色所在。遗憾的是,这款价格实惠的Apple 平板电脑在Apple 领域面临着与其前代产品同样的问题,此外还有强大的Android 竞争。

Despite a couple of drawbacks, the 11th-generation base iPad is still the best iPad for most people, thanks to a reasonable starting price with significantly more base storage, a newer processor, solid battery life, and decent performance for the price. While the iPad 11 might look identical to the iPad 10, it boasts some significant improvements in performance and battery life that make it a worthy upgrade and a great all-around budget pick. The Magic Keyboard Folio and Apple Pencil USB-C aren't perfect accessories, but they're better than you might expect and make a well-rounded package for students or anyone on a budget. However, it would be nice if Apple had made the iPad 11 compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro (and finally quit advertising the discontinued Apple Pencil 1st Generation).

At the time of writing, you can buy an 11th-generation iPad for only $299 (typically $349). That alone makes it a better choice than the previous generation. If you're wondering which base model iPad is most worth the money, this latest iPad is it. It has upgraded features for a lower price, and it is likely all you'll need if you're looking for an everyday tablet. The frills and features of the faster, more powerful iPad Air or iPad Pro are attractive, but the truth is that they're likely excessive for most people. If you're looking for a tablet to do light work on the go, edit some short videos, stream content, or play games, the iPad base model won't disappoint. Suppose you're more of a power user and intend to use heavier apps like Final Cut Pro for iPad, for example, to edit longer videos. In that case, I'd recommend a higher-end model, like those mentioned above.

So, wrapping up this review, I guess it’s pretty clear that the 2025 iPad is a solid entry-level tablet. It’s really not much of an upgrade over the 10th Generation iPad but better performance and more storage for less money? That’s always a good thing in my books! The one dilemma you always had with base iPads on previous models was how they had laughably low storage on the cheapest configuration. So if you’ve been looking to buy an affordable iPad, I don’t think it gets better than this. Although you don’t care about iPads and just want a reliable midrange tablet for everything, I think you should wait for the Xiaomi Pad 7 (review) instead. That thing has an equally premium design and powerful performance on top of a smoother 144Hz display and also arguably better software experience. Even the accessories, like a stylus and a keyboard, are much more affordable for the Xiaomi Pad 7 versus the iPad.

If all of this sounds a bit negative, then don’t take it too negatively. Although the iPad doesn’t compare favourably on price terms with its Android rivals, its display disappoints and its battery life is so-so, it’s still the best tablet around in its price range and that’s because of iPadOS and the sheer range of serious, tablet-specific software you can get on the platform. Androids options aren’t nearly as good. And although not many people use it in this way, with the addition of the Magic Keyboard Folio it does make a cracking little laptop replacement for not that much cash. There aren’t many sub-£600 laptops that are this nicely made with a screen this good.

The base iPad for 2025 isn't Apple's most powerful tablet, but it's the one most people should buy. The 11th-generation iPad is a well-made piece of hardware that has a good screen, solid performance, ample battery life, and better cameras than most other similar slates. While we wish Apple had taken things a little further across the board, the iPad's upgraded A16 chip gives it a modern engine to power most tablet necessities, such as browsing the web, playing games, and watching videos. For these reasons, and its $349 price, the iPad is our Editors' Choice for affordable tablets. Students and creators should think about upgrading to the iPad Air for its better screen, increased processing power, and Apple Intelligence, while serious professionals should consider the iPad Pro for its class-leading performance.

This is a fantastic tablet for its asking price. Apple went beyond its stingy ways by doubling the storage and giving a meaningful lift to the RAM capacity, without jacking up the sticker price. The build quality is lovely, and so is the sharp screen. On the performance side, it will handle your video streaming duties just fine. And like me, if you try too hard in games and shamelessly jump from one lobby to another in hopes of a rare victory, your demands will be met without any jitters or visual disasters. If your primary concern is a tablet for content consumption and basic web or app-based tasks, the vanilla iPad will serve your demands just fine. For better or worse, there's little competition on the Android side of the ecosystem at this price point.

For $349/£329, you get a first-class iPad with good performance and sufficient storage space. However, graphics performance is a weak point; there are better models for gamers. The iPad Air and Pro are superior in many areas and offer better displays, but they are very expensive. More casual users should also consider the elegant iPad mini, which offers a smaller but better display and higher performance and is often overlooked. The lack of support for Apple Intelligence is regrettable, but it will probably be another year before the function is fully developed. And in any case, ChatGPT and Gemini are available as standalone apps on the iPad so you’re not missing out completely.

The 11th Gen iPad is familiar, yet objectively better than the 10th Gen model. For the same price, you are now getting twice the onboard storage at 128GB and a faster processor. It has a lovely build quality, offers a sharp display, and happens to be a reliable performer. The 12MP CenterStage front camera offers a fantastic video-calling experience. For $349, the 11th Gen iPad is a lot of tablet goodness, and overwhelmingly the best tablet deal out there. The whole hardware-software camaraderie on display here is simply unbeatable. Where it stings is the peripheral tax. For the low-stakes computing requirement with this entry-level tablet, I can easily recommend skipping Apple’s gear and switching to options such as the excellent ESR Geo Digital Stylus and third-party keyboard case from the likes of Logitech.

What is an iPad? This isn't a trick question. To some, it's just a good big screen for creative use or entertainment, a larger iPhone or a useful, versatile gaming-video-check-messages-and-look-at-photos tablet. The iPad can be more than that, but it doesn't have to. And if you don't need the bells and whistles, then Apple's basic iPad -- still called the "iPad" -- is your pick. For most people, I think that's exactly what the iPad should be. For years, the entry-level iPad as been my top pick for best iPad, and that's not because fancier iPads aren't better. They are better, faster, nicer and have gorgeous displays. But at $349 (£329, AU$599) for the basic iPad, which now has 128GB of storage and an A16 processor, that sounds just right. Now, are you considering turning your iPad into a laptop?

Starting at $349 and now with 128GB of base storage, the iPad (A16) is a great deal, no two ways about that. It's the perfect tablet for most people, especially those who are in the Apple ecosystem and aren't really concerned with the premium features found on the iPad Air or iPad Pro lineups. With decent performance and good battery life, it's the no-nonsense tablet for those who just need an extra screen without too much extra fanfare. Then again, you need to be aware of its limitations as well. The screen is probably the weakest part of the equation here: it's just not good. Dim, non-laminated IPS LCD screens are terribly outdated as per the 2025 standards, that's a fact.

Despite its modest specs, there’s a good chance the iPad 11 is all the tablet you need. It easily handles the sort of things we generally need our computers to do, like social media and online shopping. And a tablet is easier to use while lounging on a couch than a notebook will ever be. Apple speed-boosted the iPad 11 with an A16 processor, making an already good tablet just a bit better. But it didn’t go far enough to let the computer make use of Apple Intelligence, a puzzling failure. Still, this is a brilliant product for the price.
