Ahead of Valentine's Day, Amazon has just slashed the price of the latest 10th generation Apple iPad to a tempting $279.99 after clipping the $19.01 coupon on the product page. This fantastic offer is available for the Blue and Silver color variants, making them a steal at a 20% discount off the original $349 list price. While this deal is about 10% higher than the Black Friday discount, it remains the best price we've seen for the 2025 model so far.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. The 10th generation model brings significant enhancements over its predecessor, including a larger 10.9-inch display within the same compact footprint, thanks to a slimmer bezel. It's powered by the faster A14 Bionic chip, offering a 20% boost in CPU performance and a 10% increase in GPU performance compared to the A13. This iPad is now compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop ideal for students and professionals alike. Additional upgrades include a universal USB Type-C port, an improved camera, and the latest Wi-Fi 6 protocol.

The current deal features the 64GB Wi-Fi model, available in Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow, with shipping scheduled for November. Opting for higher storage or cellular connectivity will significantly increase the cost, so sticking with the base model offers the best value.
