Apple Unveils New iPad 11 With A16 Chip

Apple has announced a new eleventh generation entry level iPad featuring an A16 chip and twice the starting storage. Unfortunately, the new iPad 11 does not support Apple Intelligence.

The A16 chip provides a jump in performance for everyday tasks and experiences in iPadOS, while still providing all-day battery life. Compared to the previous generation, the updated iPad with A16 is nearly 30 percent faster. In fact, compared to iPad with A13 Bionic, users will see up to a 50 percent improvement in overall performance, and A16 makes the updated iPad up to 6x faster than the best-selling Android tablet.
