Mother's Day is approaching on Saturday, May 11, and there's still time to order a thoughtful gift that can be delivered by this weekend. What could be a more perfect Mother's Day gift than a brand new iPad? Fortunately, Amazon has slashed the prices on several of the latest iPad models, including the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro). These deals are the lowest we've seen, matching or even beating the best offers from Black Friday.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering the benefits of iOS and snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor (October 2022). It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and higher base storage (128GB vs 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is lower than the previous generation's $399.
Key features retained 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 system. 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, and it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)
Amazon is offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices seen to date. The 11" model is now available for $499 and the 13" model for $699, both benefiting from a $100 instant discount. These prices are the best we've encountered for this 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip. Released in March, the 7th gen iPad Air is the current generation model, just one year newer than the 6th gen, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip.
