Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced 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 price reduction. This represents the most substantial discount seen on the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift, which falls on May 11. Given that only a select few colors are offered at this reduced rate, it's likely that this sale will not last long—perhaps only a few days.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering all the advantages of iOS and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, an increase in RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 starting price of the previous model.

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's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing it to transform into a mini laptop, which is particularly beneficial for enhancing workflow. This makes it an excellent choice for students, and it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
