Apple’s new iPad is equipped with a shrink-shrinkable A16 chip: the color matching has not been changed for more than two years

[ Gearbest Technology News]The M4 MacBook Air did not wait, and Apple released two new iPad products first, including the entry-level 2025 11-inch iPad (A16). Gearbestnoticed that the new iPad has made key upgrades in terms of performance.

However, some netizens discovered that the A16 chip of the new iPad is a “shrinkable version”. The A16 Bionic chips equipped with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 are “6-core CPU + 5-core GPU”, while the A16 chips equipped with the new iPad 11 have a 5-core CPU and a 4-core GPU. In other words, both the CPU and GPU cores have decreased. This is not very friendly to users who have certain gaming needs.

In addition to chips, the appearance design of the new iPad has also been criticized by many people. We all know that the previous generation of iPad was released in January 2022, when it launched four colors: blue, pink, yellow and silver. However, over two years have passed, the new iPad’s color scheme is “unstoppable”, and it is still blue, pink, yellow and silver. Former Meizu executive Li Nan couldn’t help but complain: The release of the new iPad was not in a state of turmoil, it was not my mood, but Apple employees. The evidence is that Apple’s industrial designers are perfunctory about the product until three years without changing the color.

In terms of configuration, the new iPad is equipped with a 2360×1640 resolution 60Hz IPS LCD panel, a front horizontal 12MP camera, a rear 12MP camera, a 28.93 watt-hour battery and a USB-C 2.0 interface, which is likely not to support Apple Intelligence.
