Looking for a budget-friendly iPad you can use for everyday tasks, like catching up on emails and messages, then reading the latest news before streaming a show? This might be the deal for you. The A16-powered iPad (a model that Apple released just a few months ago) has dipped to $299.

I’ve been using the iPadOS 26 beta for the past 24 hours on my iPad Pro 11 with M4, and it has completely transformed my iPad experience. Here’s how.

Apple's (AAPL) iPad is getting some major enhancements that should make it a far more useful laptop replacement. The improvements are part of the company's iPadOS 26, which Apple announced during its WWDC 2025 conference on Monday.

Apple is finally bringing its Journal app to iPad when iPadOS 26 arrives, giving users a creative way to document their lives.

After two years as an iPhone exclusive, Apple’s Journal app will soon be available on Mac and iPad. Apple announced at WWDC on Monday that its latest macOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates will support the Journal app, which helps users track their daily activities and experiences with images, videos, and voice memos.

Apple’s latest iPad is very similar to its predecessor, but its two most important changes ensure a strong quality of life.

Currently, on Amazon, you can snag Apple's newest iPad for $299, saving you $50 off its regular price of $349. This is the 11th-generation model, featuring Apple's A16 chipset, 128GB of storage, and an 11-inch display.

I’ve been running the very first developer beta for less than a day on an 11-inch iPad Air, and I can already sense a change in how I use my tablet. The new multitasking system is mostly pretty easy to understand.
