There's never been a more perfect time in 2025 to snag one of the latest Apple iPads. With the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro) all going on sale last week, likely as part of a Mother's Day event, you can grab these devices at the best prices of the year. These deals are still up for grabs, but only for a limited time. You can save up to 20% off compared to buying directly from the Apple Store, and they're even cheaper than Apple's Edu discount.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between iOS functionality and performance, all while keeping costs down. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, comes more than two years after its predecessor from October 2022. It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, it starts at a lower launch price of $349 compared to the previous model's $399.

The features that remain unchanged 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. This makes it an excellent choice for students, and it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
