iPad is good. Was using 12.9 inch pro for work. Wanted something smaller to use as e-reader and a few other casual things.
The smaller iPad is a useful compliment to my larger iPad o use for work. And I was pleasantly surprised there wasn't much of a dip in quality going from pro to standard.
Two things: having to buy a new Apple Pencil is a real big annoyance.
Second: the smaller, standard version is handy as a second iPad. In hindsight I wish I went with the mini as my second iPad though. Oh well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for the review—glad you’re enjoying the 2025 iPad (A16) as a smaller companion to your iPad Pro, and that the quality still impressed you. Totally hear you on the annoyance of needing a new Apple Pencil, and your point about wishing you’d gone with the iPad mini is a great callout for anyone considering a second device.

I loved it but I didn’t really have much of a use for it I can do everything on it that I do on my iPhone 17 pro max it would definitely be great for the ones that don’t use their phone as often.

Internet moves slow to be apart of the cell phone service . It costs more than it’s worth.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
