I’m not really in the market for one, but did no one bother reviewing the iPad 11? There’s literally nothing out there. Surely any embargoes are lifted now the product is in people’s hands? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just seems weird now we have the M4 MacBook Air and iPad Air M3 reviews and they’re also just spec bumps so I’d have thought the new iPad would be reviewed.

You're right, I'd think there would be reviews by now, but if it helps, you can probably just look up reviews of the iPad 10. It's just the same thing with an a16 chip upgraded from an a14, if I'm not mistaken.

I *just* came to this forum to ask the same question. Looks like they don’t consider it an update important enough to even provide reviewers with those iPads, and the same reviewers don’t feel an irresistible urge to go buy them for actual money.

I’m still getting two of them, because with my use case I simply can’t justify getting an Air. There is NOTHING I do that could even potentially, in the future, require the Air. Unless iPadOS is going to receive a ginormous update this year that has nothing to do with Apple Intelligence…
 
For my use needs and at significant savings the 10 is fine. I'm not a gamer and storage not an issue as all my files, music, videos, books, etc. are either in iCloud or WiFi accessible. USB-C external drive if more ever needed.
