Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Now, all four stunning colors—Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver—each boasting 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are available for just $299, following a generous $50 price cut. This marks the most significant discount we've seen on this model since its launch earlier this year, making it an ideal gift for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11. Such substantial discounts on newly released iPads are rare, so don't expect this deal to last more than a couple of days.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads dropped from $349 to $319. This week, it's gone down even further to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were on sale previously, all four colors are now discounted.

The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor (October 2022). It features significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's $399.
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. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
