Amazon has just announced an exciting price drop on the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Available in four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - each model comes equipped with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, now priced at just $299 after a significant $50 discount. This marks the most substantial price reduction seen on this model since its launch earlier in the year, making it an ideal gift for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11. Given the rarity of such discounts on recently released iPads, this deal is expected to be short-lived, likely lasting only a few days.
Update: Just last week, the price of these iPads decreased from $349 to $319. This week, they've dropped further to $299, and now all four colors are part of the sale, not just Blue and Yellow as before.

For most users, the standard iPad model stands out as the best choice, offering the full iOS experience and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. Launched on March 12, 2025, this model marks a significant upgrade from its predecessor released in October 2022, featuring a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, its starting price of $349 is even lower than the previous model's launch price of $399.
The iPad retains its popular features, including a 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera system. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop ideal for enhancing productivity, making it especially suitable for students. Additionally, it supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
