This marks the lowest price seen for the newest generation iPad since its debut earlier this year, making it an ideal Mother's Day gift, which is set for May 11.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (as opposed to the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between iOS functionality and performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model, released on March 12, 2025, follows more than two years after its predecessor from October 2022. Upgrades include a more robust A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM to 6GB (from 4GB), and doubled storage to 128GB (from 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the $399 starting price of the previous model.
The iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, enabling a laptop-like experience for enhanced productivity. This makes it an excellent choice for students and supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
