Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. This fantastic deal applies to all four color options - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - each with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi-only connectivity, now priced at just $299 after a $50 price cut. This marks the most substantial discount we've seen on this model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift on May 11. Such a sizeable discount on a brand-new iPad release is rare, so don't expect this sale to last beyond a few days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads dropped from $349 to $319. This week, it has decreased further to $299. Previously, only Blue and Yellow were available at a discount, but now all four colors are on sale.

2$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the optimal choice, offering the full benefits of iOS and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. Launched on March 12, 2025, more than two years after the previous model (October 2022), this new generation boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and higher storage capacity (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 price tag 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, transforming it into a compact laptop, which makes it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
