Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the brand-new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. All four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity are now available for just $299, following a $50 price reduction. This marks the most significant discount on the latest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day on May 11. Such substantial discounts on recently released iPads are rare, so don't expect this sale to last more than a few days.

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

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering all the advantages of iOS and responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. Launched on March 12, 2025, over two years after its predecessor from October 2022, the latest model boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and enhanced storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is even lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.

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. The iPad is also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing it to transform into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
