Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced 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 with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, these iPads are priced at just $299 following a $50 discount. This marks the most substantial price cut we've seen for this model since its debut earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift, set for May 11. Such a significant discount on a recently released iPad is rare, and we anticipate this offer won't last long—likely only a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads dropped from $349 to $319. This week, they've gone down even further to $299. Additionally, whereas only Blue and Yellow were discounted previously, all four colors are now available at this reduced price.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, delivering the full iOS experience with brisk performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. This model boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB from 4GB), and enhanced storage (128GB from 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the $399 starting price of the previous generation.
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 ideal choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
