Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, both boasting 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99, marking a $30 price reduction. This is the most significant discount we've seen on the newest iPad model since its debut earlier this year, making it an excellent Mother's Day gift, set to be celebrated on May 11. Given that only a select few colors are discounted at this rate, the deal is likely to be short-lived.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (distinct from the Air, Mini, or Pro models) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. Launched on March 12, 2025, more than two years after its predecessor from October 2022, this new model brings significant upgrades including the A16 processor (versus the A14), 6GB of RAM (up from 4GB), and 128GB of storage (increased from 64GB). Impressively, the starting price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.
The features that remain unchanged include the 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the camera. This iPad is also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing it to transform into a compact laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
