Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. All four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - each boasting 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $299, a significant $50 reduction from the original price. This marks the most substantial discount we've seen on this model since its launch earlier this year, making it an ideal gift for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11. Such a hefty price cut on a recently released iPad is rare, so don't miss out—this deal is likely to disappear within a few days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads dropped from $349 to $319. This week, it's gone down even further 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 users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering the full iOS experience and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. Released on March 12, 2025, over two years after its predecessor (October 2022), the current model boasts significant upgrades: a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and a jump in storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, its launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's $399.
The specs that remain unchanged include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
