Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, featuring 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99 after a $30 price reduction. This is the most significant discount we've seen for this new generation iPad since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift on May 11. Given that only a few colors are available at this reduced price, this sale is expected to be short-lived, likely lasting just a few days.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering the full iOS experience and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. Launched on March 12, 2025, the current model comes more than two years after its predecessor (October 2022). Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, an increase in RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled base storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 price tag of the previous generation at its release.
The features that have remained consistent 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. The iPad is also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it one of the top choices for students. It also supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
