Amazon has just slashed the price of the brand new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Available in all four vibrant colors—Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver—these Wi-Fi only models with 128GB of storage are now priced at just $299, marking a significant $50 discount from their original $349. This is the most substantial price drop we've seen since the launch of this latest iPad model earlier this year, making it an excellent gift choice for Mother's Day on May 11. Such deep discounts on recently released iPads are rare, so this deal might not last long.
Update: The iPads saw a price reduction last week from $349 to $319. Now, they've dropped further to $299. Notably, while only Blue and Yellow were discounted before, all four color options are now on sale.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering the full benefits of iOS and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation, released on March 12, 2025, arrives over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. It boasts upgrades like the more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, an increase in RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and double the base storage from 64GB to 128GB. Impressively, this model launched at $349, which is actually less than the $399 starting price of the previous generation.
Features that have remained consistent include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution and 264ppi, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, turning it into a versatile mini laptop ideal for enhancing productivity, especially for students. Plus, it works with the new Apple Pencil with USB-C.
