Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th-generation Apple iPad (A16). All four color options—Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver—equipped with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi-only connectivity, are now priced at $299 following a $50 discount. This represents the best deal yet for the newest iPad since its debut earlier this year and makes for an excellent Mother's Day gift idea, celebrated on May 11. A substantial markdown on such a recent iPad release is rare, so don’t expect this promotion to last beyond a few days.

Update: Last week, the price fell from $349 to $319. This week, it dropped further to $299. Additionally, while only Blue and Yellow were initially discounted, all four colors are now available at the reduced rate.
