Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, featuring 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99 following a $30 discount. This marks the most significant price drop we've seen for this new iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day on May 11. Given that only a few colors are currently discounted to this level, it's likely the sale will only last a few days.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) offers the best balance of iOS benefits and performance at a budget-friendly price. Released on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous generation from October 2022, this model comes with significant upgrades. It features a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, an increase in RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and a boost in base storage from 64GB to 128GB. Impressively, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 starting price of the previous model.

The features 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 setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, which transforms it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
