The current 11th Generation iPad has an A16 chip, 6GB of RAM, and a Qualcomm modem.

The current iPad uses an A16 chip and carries 6GB of RAM, below the 8GB minimum Apple Intelligence requires, so the assistant features do not run on it. The listed connectivity is a C1X modem for sub-6GHz 5G, described as more efficient than the Qualcomm modem in the current iPad, plus an N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread. On price and timing the report is thin: the same $449 starting price is an expectation, and MacRumors says it has no release information and does not expect the model before spring 2027.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"MacRumors says code found by contributor Aaron Perris points to a 12th gen iPad with an A19 chip, C1X modem, N1 network chip, and 8GB RAM.
