Amazon has slashed the price of the 10th-generation Apple iPad to just $259.99 with free shipping! Currently, you can snag this deal on the blue or silver models. This price is incredibly close to the all-time low of $249, briefly seen during Black Friday before selling out. This price drop is likely due to the recent announcement of the new 11th-generation iPad, now available for preorder on Amazon with a March shipping date.

We chose this model as our best overall iPad of 2025. For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) offers the best value, providing nearly all the benefits of iOS and snappy performance at an affordable price. This 10th-generation iPad boasts a 10.9" display, the A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, a universal USB-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard for a laptop-like experience. While a newer iPad is on the horizon, the price difference may not justify the incremental upgrades.

If you're willing to spend $70-$90 more, the 2025 11th-generation iPad is available for preorder. It features a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be available. The upgrades are mostly incremental, but if you plan on keeping it long-term, it might be worth the extra cost.
