Starting today, Amazon has significantly lowered the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Available in Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver, all models with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity are now priced at just $299, following a $50 price reduction. This marks the best discount observed on the newest iPad since its launch earlier this year, making it an ideal gift for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11. Such substantial discounts on recently released iPads are rare, and it's unlikely this sale will last more than a couple of days.

Update: Last week, the price of these iPads was reduced from $349 to $319. This week, it has dropped further to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were on sale last week, all four colors are now discounted.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous generation from October 2022. Notable upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB from 4GB), and enhanced storage (128GB instead of 64GB). Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is even lower than the $399 launch price of its predecessor.

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 remains compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it one of the top choices for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
