Working on getting everyone in the family an iPad. No matter what every time I buy and off brand tablet it stops working after a years use. The iPads last me about a decade before the software upgrades become an issue. My son uses the iPad for fun. My daughter uses the iPad for school. I will be using it for notetaking and work when I get mine this month. So far I have 2 of these iPads.

I love the new display on the iPad. It’s very large and makes it really easy for my daughter to play games. The new software update looks great and display is high definition. The battery lasts way longer than the old one. Definitely worth the purchase.

If you are like me and does not need to have the best ipad in the world like air or pro. This is the best budget tablet under $500. You get good screen time usage, The kindle app is great I use it on my iphone. The apple play store is also good. Tons of free games and you can get arcade cheap as well. overall a great tablet I highly recommend it.

With the release of iOS 26 for iPads the 11th generation of what is now the base level iPad is great value for the money IF you get it for any amount lower than $349 MSRP. Better than ANY netbook, that was the craze BEFORE the smartphone/tablet age (2006-2012) or any iPad model before 2016-17.

I've never had an iPad before now, but I've always had an iPhone and I recently seen they had these on sale for Black Friday last November regular price 350 and they was on sale for 275 so I thought what the heck and pick one up anyways it turns out to be my favorite Apple device now I love just chilling and relaxing, watching YouTube videos and just that's what I do in my free time when I'm off work and I'm not asleep. I'm watching my little mini TV as I call it, anybody interested in watching reels or videos? This is the way to go. I mean even if it's not on sale 350 bucks for a brand new Apple product that's premium talking aluminum and glass iPhone 14 a 16 chip super fast, super clean everything in a linked I mean, I literally haven't had one single problem out of it. Literally, the only downside I can say is that if you want to buy the apple branded keyboard case folio for it, the keyboard case folio made by Apple is $250 at Walmart so literally the iPad if I was to buy that keyboard, I would've paid only $25 more for the iPad then I did the keyboard in case which to me is just ridiculous. there's no way a keyboard case should be that much money. That's not really a downside to the iPad, but there isn't really a downside to that iPad but if I have to find one, that's what I would say.

I bought an iPad about 5 years ago and we till use it regularly. But my husband needed something to put in his vehicle when at job sites, so we bought a new iPad for me, giving him my old one. I am very happy with the improvements on speed and visuals, but ultimately the value is great and exactly what I have come to expect from Apple products. My favorite part of this purchase was when Walmart suddenly offered it for $250 instead of the usual $300. It was so nice to get to pay slightly less for such a valuable tool.

I have an 8th generation iPad that's practically brand new because I take great care of my electronics. I gave this same iPad to my wife for her birthday in October, along with the keyboard cover, and it makes her look like she has a MacBook. I liked it so much that I decided to buy one for myself. It's a fantastic iPad; the battery lasts a long time, it's very lightweight, and I love the blue color. Videos also look much sharper. I recommend it to anyone who wants a good tablet.

I don't dislike this item. This is my first apple product. I pretty much do Android. But I think it has better security. However, you must have an apple account. And it's really too complicated. just to change your password. or update your information.

My uncle bought this cause his 2 year old iPad just stopped working suddenly. We didn't know all ipads had cracked and weren't coming back up. This iPad, brand new, would not turn on at all. But my uncle is ill and can't reform it right now. So we may actually be out the money. Apple sucks.

I have owned base iPads and iPad Air. Most consumer really only need a base iPad. I have no complaints about the A16 iPad other then I am not a fan of the latest OS release. The Liquid Glass effects are not great for anyone with compromised vision. You can only marginalize this effect to a small degree. I also miss the lack of a headphone jack too so you either have to use a dongle adaptor or use wireless Bluetooth headphones. The built in speakers are of good quality though. For the basics like email, watching content and other general tasks this iPad is plenty good.
