Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the brand-new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, which come with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99 after a $30 price reduction. This is the most significant discount we've seen on the latest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day, set for May 11. Given that only select colors are discounted to this extent, it's likely that this sale won't last beyond a few days.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. Released on March 12, 2025, over two years after its predecessor (October 2022), this model boasts significant upgrades: a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, an increase in RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and a jump in storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.
The iPad retains its 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, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. Additionally, it supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
