Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the brand-new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, featuring 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99, following a $30 discount. This marks the best deal seen for the latest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day on May 11. Given that only a few color options are available at this reduced price, the sale is likely to be short-lived, lasting only a few days.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) stands out as the best choice, offering all the advantages of iOS along with robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model, released on March 12, 2025, represents a significant upgrade from its predecessor, launched in October 2022. Key enhancements include a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage capacity from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is even lower than the $399 price tag of the previous generation at launch.
The iPad retains the 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, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. Additionally, it supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
