Apple’s 2025 iPads: Smaller Chips, Bigger Price Tags, Smaller Wallets!

Welcome to the dazzling world of Apple’s 2025 iPads, where a $349 entry-level 11th-gen iPad with a 128GB base storage and a slightly less smart A16 chip promises ā€˜speedy’ 30% performance bumps—unless you want Apple Intelligence, then sorry, upgrade city! The Mini (2024) struts in with an A17 Pro and 8GB RAM but starts at a cool $499, sporting Wi-Fi speeds that might just outrun your motivation to shop elsewhere. Don’t forget those outrageously precise discounts: $25 off here, $50 off there, from Amazon’s $474 Mini to Walmart’s cheerfully slightly cheaper Air M3 for $542.30. If you want power with a damn fine eye-roll, Apple’s got you covered with M3 chips poised for iPadOS 26, ā€˜coming this fall’ like a plot twist no one asked for.
