Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, which come equipped with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99 after a $30 price cut. This marks the most substantial discount we've seen on the newest iPad model since its release earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day, which is on May 11. Given that only a select few colors are available at this reduced price, it's likely that this sale won't last more than a few days.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering all the advantages of iOS along with robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation iPad was launched on March 12, 2025, more than two years after the previous model debuted in October 2022. Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor (compared to the A14), increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and enhanced storage (128GB vs 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" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. Additionally, it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. It also supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
