Starting today, Amazon has slashed the price of the latest 2025 11th gen Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The Blue and Yellow base models, which come with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, are now available for just $319.99 following a $30 price cut. This represents the best deal seen on the latest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it an excellent gift option for Mother's Day, scheduled for May 11. Given that only a select few colors are on sale at this price, it's likely the discount will only last for a few days.

The current generation, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the last model (October 2022). It features significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM to 6GB (from 4GB), and a base storage bump to 128GB (from 64GB). Remarkably, its launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's $399.

The features that have remained consistent 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 system. Additionally, it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it particularly appealing for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
