"2025 Apple iPad Hits Record Low Price on Amazon"

Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, each with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99, following a $30 price reduction. This marks the most significant discount we've seen on the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day, which is on May 11. Given that only a few colors are available at this reduced price, it's likely the sale won't last long—expect it to end within a few days.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering the full benefits of iOS and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 starting price of the previous model.

The features that remain unchanged 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. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform 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.
