The A16-powered entry-level iPad from Apple has reached a record low price of $320, following a $29 price reduction. Released earlier this year, the device features an 11-inch Liquid Retina Display, 128GB of storage, 6GB of RAM, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.

This discounted price of $320 is available across various platforms including Amazon and Walmart, with the original pricing being $349, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. Kris Holt, a Contributing Reporter for Engadget, has noted that this model is the best budget iPad despite being less sleek and powerful than the iPad Air.

While the A16 iPad may not have the high-end specifications found in the iPad Air or Pro lines, it still offers significant improvements over its predecessor. Apple has added 2GB more RAM and doubled the device's storage capacity while maintaining a solid build quality.

The A16 iPad is praised for efficient performance in handling most common tasks, including casual gaming and basic photo editing. It provides approximately 10 hours of battery life depending on usage. However, potential buyers should note limitations in accessory support, such as lacking the ability to wirelessly charge an Apple Pencil.

For users whose primary needs involve tasks like watching movies or reading news while on-the-go, the A16 iPad offers a balance of functionality and affordability. Engadget, a long-trusted source in consumer tech journalism, provides extensive coverage on Apple deals through @EngadgetDeals on X.
