Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. All four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - boasting 128GB of RAM and Wi-Fi only connectivity are now available for just $299, following a $50 price reduction. This marks the most significant discount on the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11. It's rare to see such a substantial discount on a recently released iPad, and this sale is expected to last only a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads dropped from $349 to $319. This week, it has further decreased to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were on sale previously, all four colors are now discounted.

2$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to choose because it combines the full benefits of iOS with swift performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation model was released on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). The upgrades include a more powerful processor (A16 vs A14), increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and more storage (128GB vs 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 price tag of the previous generation model.
The features that remain unchanged are 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, making it one of the best iPads for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
