If you followed Prime Day tablet discounts, you probably know the Apple tablet dropped to an even cheaper price during the event. But will that $70 price cut return soon? We don’t know — even Black Friday may not offer a better deal. Don’t want to wait? Then just grab the Apple tablet for 4% off right now.
The iPad A16 certainly lacks the premium display of the much pricier iPad Pro M4. You don’t get an OLED screen, HDR content, or a 120Hz refresh rate. But is that really a dealbreaker? We hardly think so — the device delivers sharp visuals, excellent colors, and enough brightness for comfortable viewing indoors.
Plus, the display isn’t the main focus here — it’s performance. With an A16 chipset, this buddy breezes through daily tasks. It’s responsive, stutter-free, and powerful enough to handle most things you throw at it, even some games.
During our time with it (see our iPad (A16) review for details), we also tested battery life. And let us tell you, it doesn’t disappoint here. You can get over 10 hours of screen time with browsing and nearly 7.5 hours with nonstop gaming. Plus, the base storage configuration starts at 128GB — twice as much as the iPad 10th Gen — so you get more room for your favorite files.
Is the iPad A16 the best Apple tablet? Of course not. But it’s more than good enough for those in the Apple ecosystem who don’t really care for the premium iPad Air or Pro features. And now, you can save $50 on select 128GB models, making it even harder to resist.
