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 after a $30 discount. This is the most substantial price cut we've seen for the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it a fantastic gift option for Mother's Day on May 11. Given that only a few colors are available at this reduced price, this sale is likely to be short-lived, lasting only a few days.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the top choice, offering the full benefits of iOS with swift performance at a budget-friendly price. Launched on March 12, 2025, the current model boasts significant upgrades over its predecessor from October 2022. These include a more powerful A16 processor (compared to the A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and higher base storage (128GB instead of 64GB). Remarkably, the starting price of $349 for this generation is even lower than the $399 launch price of the previous model.

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. Additionally, it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
