With Mother's Day falling on Saturday, May 11, there's still time to surprise your mom with a thoughtful gift that arrives by the weekend. What could be more perfect than gifting her a brand new iPad? Amazon has slashed prices on some of the latest models, including the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro). These deals are the lowest we've seen, even better than Black Friday discounts.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, is a significant upgrade from the October 2022 model, featuring a more powerful A16 processor, 6GB of RAM (up from 4GB), and a base storage of 128GB (up from 64GB). Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is even lower than the previous generation's launch price of $399.
The new iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, making it an excellent choice for students looking to transform it into a mini laptop. Plus, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C, enhancing its versatility.
$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)
Amazon is currently offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air with M3 chips at the lowest prices ever. The 11" model is available for $499, and the 13" model for $699, both with a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for the 2025 model, which was released in March. The only major upgrade from the previous 6th generation is the shift from the M2 to the M3 chip.
