Apple iPad Price Slashed for Mother's Day

What could be a better Mother's Day present than a brand-new iPad? Mother's Day falls on Sunday, May 11, which unfortunately means it's mostly too late for deliveries to arrive on time. However, the iPad deals are still available (and some are even better than before), and a belated gift is better than no gift at all. Several of the latest iPad models, including the 11th-generation Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-generation iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro), are now on sale at the best prices we've seen all year.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice because it delivers all the advantages of iOS along with fast performance at a reasonable price. The current model was launched on March 12, 2025, more than two years after the previous generation (October 2022). Key upgrades include a more powerful processor (A16 vs A14), increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and more storage (128GB vs 64GB). Best of all, the starting price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's launch price of $399.

Features that remain the same are the 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It also works with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to turn it into a mini laptop for improved productivity, making it one of the best iPads for students. It's compatible with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C as well.

$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)

Amazon is now offering the 7th-generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices we've observed so far. The 11" model is down to $499, and the 13" model is reduced to $699, both after a $100 instant discount. This is the best price available for this 2025 model with the M3 chip. The 7th-generation iPad Air was released in March and is the current model. It's only one year newer than the 6th-generation version, and the main upgrade is the shift from the M2 to the M3 processor.
