Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. You can now snag all four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - each equipped with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, for just $299 after a significant $50 price cut. This marks the most substantial discount we've seen on the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an ideal Mother's Day gift on May 11. Such hefty discounts on recently released iPads are rare, so don't expect this deal to last longer than a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads dropped from $349 to $319. This week, it's gone down further to $299. Previously, only Blue and Yellow were discounted, but now all four colors are available at this reduced price.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering the full benefits of iOS along with responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and higher base storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the previous model's $399 release price.
The iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera system. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it a top pick for students, and works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
