Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. This fantastic deal applies to all four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - each boasting 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi-only connectivity, now available for just $299 after a $50 discount. This marks the most substantial price cut we've seen on the latest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an ideal gift for Mother's Day on May 11. Such a substantial discount on a recent iPad model is rare, so don't expect this sale to last long - likely just a couple of days.

Update: Last week, these iPads saw a price drop from $349 to $319. This week, they've gone down even further to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were on sale previously, all four colors are now discounted.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) stands out as the best choice, offering the full range of iOS benefits alongside robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation, released on March 12, 2025, follows more than two years after the previous model from October 2022. Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and expanded storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the previous generation's starting price of $399.

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 setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
