Apple’s $349 iPad 11 is missing a lot

Apple’s $349 iPad 11 is missing a lot, but it’s still all the iPad most people need
The A16 iPad is a typical post-Home-button iPad design, with a slim-ish symmetrical bezel running all the way around a 10.86-inch screen. Apple used to round this up to 10.9 inches, and now it rounds it up to 11 inches, but what has changed is the rounding and not the screen size.
Apple’s new cheap iPad has a mind-boggling missing feature
A new iPad is here! Yep, that’s the regular 10.9-inch model. Not Air, though there is a new one of those. Just the regular iPad. So, what’s changed compared to the previous version from 2022? Well, it’s got an A16 chipset – that’s the same one found on iPhone 14 Pro models and the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus.
