Amazon has just announced a fantastic price drop on the latest 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 discount. This marks the best price we've seen for the new iPad since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift, set for May 11. Given that only a few colors are available at this discounted rate, the sale is likely to be short-lived, so act fast if you're interested.

For most users, the standard iPad (as opposed to the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering the full benefits of iOS with robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, significantly improves upon the previous generation launched in October 2022. Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and expanded base storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is lower than the $399 of the previous model.
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, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
