Amazon has just announced a significant price drop on the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Available in Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver, these models come with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, now priced at just $299 after a $50 reduction. This is the most substantial discount seen on this new iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift, which falls on May 11. Such a notable price cut on a recently released iPad is rare, and the sale is expected to last only a couple of days.
Update: Following a price decrease from $349 to $319 last week, the iPads have seen another reduction this week to $299. Previously, only the Blue and Yellow models were on sale, but now all four colors are available at the discounted price.

For most consumers, the standard iPad model strikes the perfect balance between functionality and affordability. Released on March 12, 2025, more than two years after its predecessor (launched in October 2022), this latest iPad boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the previous model's $399.
The iPad retains the same 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and camera. It also remains compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a compact laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
