10th Gen Apple iPad Hits Record Low Price in 2025: Ideal for Most Users

Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an impressive $259.99, with shipping included. This deal is available in both Blue and Silver colors. This price is nearly the lowest we've ever seen for this model; it briefly hit $249 during Black Friday, but sold out within 24 hours. The reason for this price drop? The announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now up for preorder on Amazon with a scheduled ship date in March.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice, offering nearly all the advantages of the iOS operating system and brisk performance at a budget-friendly price. The 10th gen iPad features a 10.9" display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of internal storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard, enabling you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While there's a newer iPad on the way, the price increase might not justify the incremental upgrades.
