Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Apple iPad 2025 Cellular (6GB + 128GB)

  • Most affordable entry point into the late-model iPad range
  • Noticeable performance boost with the A16 Bionic chip
  • Long battery life, lasting up to 10 hours of typical usage
  • Centred landscape front camera is ideal for video calls
  • Vibrant and sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display
  • Reliable and fast Touch ID sensor built into the top button
  • Doubled base storage starting at 128GB

What customers don't like about Apple iPad 2025 Cellular (6GB + 128GB)

  • No support for Apple Intelligence AI features
  • Non-laminated display results in more glare and a less natural feel
  • Display lacks the 120Hz ProMotion technology found in Pro models
  • Incompatible with the Apple Pencil Pro or Pencil 2nd Generation
  • Charging and setup for compatible Apple Pencil (USB-C) can be less convenient
  • Design remains virtually unchanged from the 10th generation model
  • Lack of anti-reflective coating makes outdoor use difficult

Verdict

The 2025 Apple iPad (11th Gen) Cellular model is a versatile entry-level tablet featuring an 11-inch Liquid Retina display with 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits of brightness. It is powered by the A16 Bionic chip paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, delivering a significant performance boost over previous generations for multitasking and 4K video editing. Key characteristics include 5G cellular connectivity, a landscape-oriented 12MP ultra-wide front camera with Center Stage, and a 12MP rear camera. Main pros are its improved base storage, efficient performance for everyday tasks, and impressive 9-to-10-hour battery life. However, notable cons include an unlaminated display that is prone to glare, a standard 60Hz refresh rate, and the lack of support for Apple Intelligence features due to hardware limitations.
