Amazon has recently slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to just $259.99, including shipping. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is nearly the lowest we've seen; it briefly dipped to $249 during Black Friday but sold out quickly. The reason for this price drop is likely due to the announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a shipping date set for March.

We've named this model as the best overall iPad for 2025. For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering nearly all the advantages of the iOS operating system and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. This 10th gen iPad boasts a 10.9" display, powered by the A14 Bionic chip, with 64GB of internal storage and WiFi-6 connectivity. It also features a universal USB Type-C charging port and is compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. Despite the upcoming release of the 11th generation, the price difference might not justify the incremental upgrades for everyone.

If you're willing to spend an additional $70-$90, you can preorder the new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad. It comes with the more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of internal storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be included. While the improvements are modest, if you plan to use the iPad for an extended period, the upgrade might be worthwhile.
