It doesn't support Apple Intelligence.Like the iPad Air, it uses Touch ID instead of Face ID.It works with the base-level Apple Pencil, not the Pro version.
And its 10.9-inch screen lacks ProMotion (a higher frame rate) and an anti-reflective coating.This model starts with 128GB of storage.That's double what you got in older versions of the entry-level iPad.It has 6GB of RAM, an increase from the 4GB in its predecessor.
