Reviews for the Apple iPad 11 (2025)

83.9% Apple iPad 11 (2025) review - The affordable tablet lags behind in the most important area | Notebookcheck
The Apple iPad 11 (2025) offers high performance for a mid-range device, because it has to. This is where the new iPad 10 version establishes its identity. Unfortunately, the affordable Apple tablet faces the same problems within the Apple universe as its predecessor, on top of strong Android competition.
70% Apple iPad (A16) review: The vanilla ice cream of tablets
Source: Phone Arena English
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 Dim, non-laminated IPS LCD screens are terribly outdated as per the 2025 standards, that's a fact.

90% iPad 11: Amazing value from a budget tablet [Review]
Source: Cult of Mac English
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.

10.86":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.
