Amazon has just announced a significant price drop on the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet, making it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift on May 11. Available in Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver, each model comes with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, now priced at an impressive $299 after a $50 discount. This is the most substantial price reduction we've seen since the iPad's launch earlier this year, and given the rarity of such deals on new releases, it's unlikely to last beyond a couple of days.
Update: Just last week, the price of these iPads was reduced from $349 to $319, and now it's dropped even further to $299. Initially, only Blue and Yellow were on sale, but now all four colors are available at this discounted rate.

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, this model boasts significant upgrades from its predecessor launched in October 2022. The new iPad features a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage capacity from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the previous generation's $399.
The iPad retains the beloved 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), along with USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop, ideal for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C, enhancing its utility for note-taking and creative work.
