What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than with a brand new iPad? This year, Mother's Day falls on Sunday, May 11, which means the window for timely delivery has mostly closed. However, don't let that stop you—the iPad deals are still hot (and some are even hotter than before), making a late gift a thoughtful gesture. You can still snag some of the latest iPad models at the best prices we've seen all year, including the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro).

23$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most people, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the go-to choice, offering all the benefits of iOS with snappy 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: a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM to 6GB (from 4GB), and a base storage of 128GB (up from 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the previous model's $399.
The specs that remain unchanged include the 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. This makes it an excellent choice for students, and it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
