Starting today, Amazon has significantly slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Now available in all four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - each equipped with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, the price has dropped to an impressive $299 after a $50 reduction. This marks the best discount seen on the latest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it a perfect gift for Mother's Day on May 11. Such substantial discounts on newly released iPads are rare, so this deal is expected to last only a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads fell from $349 to $319. This week, it has further decreased to $299. Notably, while only Blue and Yellow were on sale last week, all four colors are now discounted.

For most consumers, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) remains the best choice, offering all the advantages of iOS and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. Launched on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous model from October 2022, this generation boasts significant upgrades. These include a more powerful A16 processor (compared to the A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and enhanced storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 launch price of its predecessor.
The features retained from the previous model include 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, 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.
