Amazon has slashed the price of the 10th-generation Apple iPad to just $259.99 with free shipping! Currently, you can snag this deal in Blue or Silver. This price is incredibly close to the all-time low of $249, briefly seen during Black Friday before selling out. This price drop is likely due to the recent announcement of the new 11th-generation iPad, now available for preorder on Amazon with a March shipping date.

We've chosen this model as the best overall iPad of 2025. For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) offers the best balance of iOS functionality, snappy performance, and affordability. This 10th-generation iPad boasts a 10.9" display, the powerful A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard—perfect for transforming it into a mini-laptop. While a newer iPad is on the horizon, the price difference may not justify the incremental upgrades for many.

While the upgrades are incremental, they might be worth considering for long-term users.
