Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Available in all four stunning colors—Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver—with 128GB of RAM and Wi-Fi only connectivity, you can now grab this powerhouse for just $299, following a generous $50 price drop. This marks the most significant discount we've seen on this model since its launch earlier this year, making it a perfect gift idea for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11. Such a substantial discount on a recent iPad release is rare, and we expect this deal to vanish within a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads fell from $349 to $319. Now, the price has dropped even further to $299. Previously, only Blue and Yellow were on sale, but now all four colors are available at this discounted rate.

2$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and price. The latest model, launched on March 12, 2025, introduces significant upgrades over its predecessor from October 2022. It boasts a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB compared to 4GB), and doubled storage capacity (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 of the previous generation.
The features retained from the last model include the 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, 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.
