The latest iPad 11 with an A16 chip is a fantastic starter tablet at a lower price with improved performance and double the internal storage.
If you have an old iPad with a Home Button, it is recommended to upgrade to the iPad 11 for a significant boost in speed, a larger edge-to-edge screen, upgraded camera, and USB-C connector.
For those with a 9th-generation iPad, upgrading is suggested to experience the all-screen design, modern gestures, and compatibility with accessories like the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil with USB-C.
If you already own a 10th-generation iPad, there is little reason to upgrade as it already has most of the modern features and will last for many more years.
