In 2025, the timing couldn't be better to snag one of the latest Apple iPads. The 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro) all went on sale last week, likely as part of a Mother's Day event, and are still available at the best prices we've seen all year. You can save up to 20% off compared to purchasing directly from the Apple Store, and these deals are even better than Apple's Edu discount.
