Amazon has recently slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to just $259.99 with free shipping. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is tantalizingly close to the all-time low of $249, which we briefly saw during Black Friday before it sold out in a flash. The reason behind this attractive price drop? The announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon and is set to ship in March.

We've crowned this 10th gen model as the best overall iPad for 2025. For the majority of users, this iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and price. It boasts a vibrant 10.9" display, an A14 Bionic chip for snappy performance, 64GB of internal storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While the 11th gen iPad is on the horizon, the price difference may not justify the incremental upgrades for everyone.

If you're prepared to invest an extra $70-$90, the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad is up for preorder. It comes equipped with a more robust A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of internal storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be available on this model. While the upgrades are incremental, they might be worth it if you plan to use the iPad for the long term.
