Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The iPad, available in Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver, now comes with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity for just $299, following a $50 price drop. This is the most substantial discount observed for this new iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift, scheduled for May 11. Such a significant discount on a recent iPad model is rare, and I anticipate this offer will only last a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads was reduced from $349 to $319. This week, it has further decreased to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were on sale last week, all four colors are now available at this discounted rate.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the optimal choice, delivering all the advantages of iOS along with robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model, launched on March 12, 2025, marks a significant upgrade from the October 2022 model with enhancements including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM to 6GB from 4GB, and doubled storage to 128GB from 64GB. Impressively, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the $399 price of the previous generation at its debut.
The iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (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 mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. It supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C for versatile use.
