10th Gen Apple iPad Hits Record Low Price in 2025: Ideal for Most Users

Amazon has recently slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an impressive $259.99, with free shipping included. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is nearly the lowest we've seen, with the iPad briefly hitting $249 during Black Friday last year, before selling out in less than 24 hours. The current price drop likely coincides with the announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon and set to ship in March.

We've selected this 10th gen model as the best overall iPad for 2025. For most users, the standard iPad strikes the perfect balance, offering nearly all the advantages of the iOS operating system and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. This model boasts a 10.9-inch display, powered by the A14 Bionic chip, with 64GB of internal storage and WiFi-6 connectivity. It also features a universal USB Type-C charging port and is compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, enabling you to transform it into a compact laptop for enhanced productivity. While a newer 11th generation iPad is on the horizon, the price difference might not justify the incremental upgrades for many.

For those willing to invest an additional $70 to $90, the new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad is now available for preorder. It includes a more advanced A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be supported. Although the enhancements are incremental, if you plan to use the iPad for an extended period, the upgrade could be worthwhile.
