Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. All four vibrant color options—Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver—each boasting 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $299, reflecting a substantial $50 price drop. This is the most impressive discount we've seen on the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift, which is coming up on May 11. Such a large discount on a recently released iPad is rare, and we anticipate this offer won't last beyond a few days.

Update: Last week, the price of these iPads decreased from $349 to $319. This week, it has dropped further to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were discounted before, now all four colors are available at the reduced price.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the optimal choice, offering the full iOS experience with responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. Released on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous model (October 2022), the current generation boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, an increase in RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and a jump in storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 of its predecessor.

The features that have remained consistent 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, allowing it to transform into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it one of the best iPads for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
