Amazon has just announced a significant price drop on the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, both featuring 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99, reflecting a $30 discount from the original price of $349. This is the most substantial discount seen on the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day, which falls on May 11. Given the limited color options at this reduced price, the sale is expected to be short-lived, likely lasting only a few days.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability, delivering all the advantages of iOS with responsive performance. Launched on March 12, 2025, this generation marks a significant upgrade from its predecessor released in October 2022. Key enhancements include a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is lower than the previous model's launch price of $399.

The iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera system. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop ideal for enhanced productivity, making it a top choice for students. Additionally, it supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C connectivity.
