For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice, offering all the benefits of iOS along with robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The current generation model, launched on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor (October 2022). Notable upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM to 6GB from 4GB, and enhanced storage to 128GB from 64GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.

The features that remain 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. Additionally, it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it one of the best iPads for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.

$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)

Amazon is currently offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 at the lowest prices seen so far. The 11" model is now available for $499, and the 13" model for $699, both reflecting a $100 instant discount. This is the best deal we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip. Released in March, this current generation model is only one year newer than the 6th gen, with the primary upgrade being the switch from the M2 to the M3 chip.
