Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 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 drop. This is the most substantial discount we've 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. Such a substantial price cut on a recently released iPad is rare, and I anticipate that this deal won't last longer than a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads decreased from $349 to $319. This week, it has dropped further to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were on sale previously, all four colors are now discounted.

2$349.00 save 14%$299.00 at AmazonFor most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice because it delivers all the advantages of iOS along with responsive 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). Upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and higher storage capacity from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 starting price of the previous generation.
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. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, enabling you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal iPad for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
