Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Available in four vibrant colors - Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver - each with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, the iPad is now priced at $299, marking a $50 discount. This represents the best deal on the newest generation iPad since its launch earlier this year and makes it an excellent choice for a Mother's Day gift, which falls on May 11. Such significant discounts on recently released iPads are rare, so don't expect this sale to last long.
Update: Last week, the price of these iPads fell from $349 to $319. Now, it's dropped further to $299, and all four colors are included in this sale, unlike the previous week when only Blue and Yellow were discounted.

Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.
Features retained from the previous model 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 setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students.
