"2025 Apple iPad Hits Record Low Price on Amazon"

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

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. Released on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous model (October 2022), this latest generation boasts significant upgrades. It features a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and a generous boost in storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 starting price of its predecessor.

The iPad retains its beloved features including a 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, enabling a seamless transformation into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for students, especially when paired with the new Apple Pencil with USB-C.
