Recently, Apple suddenly launched a new wave of products, first the unexpected appearance of the iPhone 16e, which is really eye-opening, this is 2025, and there is such an unsatisfactory mobile phone. But fortunately, after the mobile phone, Apple has brought the 2025 iPad Air and iPad, which are quite powerful.
Make a point! The method of receiving the Apple iPad national subsidy is to search for "Apple Subsidy 880" on the Jingdong APP; The method of receiving the digital national subsidy is to search for "digital national subsidy 565" on the JD APP to enter the event page to receive it.
Price information for the new iPad configuration
The price of the new iPad starts at 2999 yuan, and it is only 2549 yuan after superimposing the national subsidy. Compared with the previous generation, this time it started with 128GB storage, and for most users who buy tablets, 128GB is the mainstream choice. The 256GB and 512GB versions are priced at 3499 yuan and 5199 yuan respectively.
The 2025 iPad has been upgraded with Apple's A16 chip, which is different from phones equipped with A16 chips, thanks to the large size of the tablet, which is more extreme in terms of performance. You can easily run large mobile games on this iPad, and edit text or video with ease.
The 2025 iPad features an 11-inch Liquid Retina display with a 12-megapixel lens on the front and rear and a USB-C charging port.
Price information for the new iPad Air configuration
The new iPad Air can choose two versions: 11 inches and 13 inches, and the starting storage is also a 128GB version, with a starting price of 4799 yuan and 6499 yuan respectively, and I personally recommend the 11-inch version, because the 13-inch price is too expensive.
The iPad Air is powered by the M3 chip, which is twice the performance of the iPad Air with the M1 chip, and the graphics processing architecture brings advanced graphics processing power to bring a more extreme experience to the game, while the M3 chip has an excellent energy efficiency ratio, and the battery life is enough to use from morning to night.
The iPad Air is also equipped with a 12-megapixel camera on the front and rear, and the front camera supports the function of centering the person. In addition to the appearance and configuration of the new iPad, the new iPad Air also has Apple's AI function, which can further enhance the gaming entertainment or office experience.
In general, the new iPad and iPad Air are actually the core change versions of the previous generation, and the improvements in other configurations are almost negligible, which can be regarded as regular upgrades.
As for whether to choose the iPad Air 11-inch or 13-inch version, I personally recommend 11 inches, which is easy to carry and the size is enough, and the 13-inch volume is too large, and it is difficult to pick it up with one hand.
How to choose between iPad and iPad Air?
The starting price of iPad is 2999 yuan, the starting price of iPad Air is 4799 yuan, and the difference between the two tablets is 1800 yuan, which is quite large. If you are very concerned about performance and need to work on a tablet, especially for editing videos, then the iPad Air with the M3 chip is more suitable for you, and the performance of the M3 chip is much stronger than that of the Apple A16. If you're just playing games, watching TV shows, or editing text work, you can just buy an iPad with an A16 chip behind your eyes.
Finally, let's talk about the rules of the tablet ipad national subsidy:
Consumers who purchase a single tablet product with a sales price of no more than 6,000 yuan are eligible to apply for subsidies. Whether it is Apple iPad, Huawei MatePad, or Xiaomi Tablet and many other brand products, as long as they meet the subsidy conditions, they can enjoy subsidy discounts. The subsidy rate is calculated at 15% of the final sales price after deducting all discounts from production, distribution and mobile operators, but the maximum subsidy per piece is not more than 500 yuan. Suppose the original price of a tablet is 4,000 yuan, and the merchant offers a discount of 500 yuan, then the final sales price is 3,500 yuan, and the subsidy amount is 3,500×15% = 525 yuan according to the 15% subsidy ratio, but because the subsidy limit is 500 yuan, the actual subsidy that consumers can get is 500 yuan.
