For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering all the benefits of iOS with snappy performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and boosted storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.
The specs that remain unchanged include the stunning 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, which transforms it into a mini laptop perfect for productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)
Amazon is currently offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 at the lowest prices yet. The 11" model is available for $499, while the 13" model is down to $699, both reflecting a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip. Released in March, this current generation model is only one year newer than the 6th gen, with the primary upgrade being the switch from the M2 to the more powerful M3 chip.
