As predicted<\/a>, Apple announced not one but two new iPads this week. The new entry-level iPad<\/a> starts at $349, while the 11-and 13-inch iPad Airs<\/a> start at $599 and $799, respectively. Both tablets are set to arrive on March 12th, though you can already preorder them from Amazon, Apple, and Best Buy starting this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unsurprisingly, both tablets represent pretty minor upgrades over prior models. The 11th-gen iPad has twice as much base storage as its last-gen predecessor<\/a> (128GB vs. 64GB); however, it also remains the only tablet in Apple\u2019s current lineup that lacks support for Apple Intelligence. It doesn\u2019t run on Apple\u2019s silicon, either, but Apple says the upgraded A16 chip is nearly 30 percent faster than the A14 chip found in the 10th-gen iPad<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for the new 11- and 13-inch iPad Air, both run on Apple\u2019s M3 chip. The last-gen processor isn\u2019t as powerful as the M4 chip found in the latest Pro models<\/a>, but Apple claims the Air should be twice as fast as the M1-powered Air<\/a> released in 2022. The M3 chip also introduces GPU upgrades, including dynamic caching support, which improves the performance of demanding apps by optimizing the device\u2019s memory usage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for accessories, both tablets support the Apple Pencil USB-C, but only the Air supports the Apple Pencil Pro<\/a>, which offers built-in Find My support and a gyroscope sensor. The M3-powered Air is also compatible with the new Magic Keyboard<\/a>, which boasts a larger trackpad and a new 14-key function row so you can quickly adjust the volume and other settings. The keyboard starts at $269 for the 11-inch model and $319 for the 13-inch model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Where to preorder the new iPad<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The new iPad will be available on March 12th in four colors: blue, pink, yellow, and silver. You can currently preorder the base model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage from Amazon<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, and B&H Photo<\/a> starting at $349. If you prefer more storage, you can get the 256GB model for $449 or the 512GB version for $649. LTE-equipped versions are also available starting at $499 for 128GB of storage, $599 for 256GB of storage, and $799 for 512GB of storage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
