Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. The 128GB Wi-Fi only model, available in Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver, is now priced at just $299 following a $50 price cut. This marks the best discount observed since the iPad's launch earlier this year, making it an ideal gift for Mother's Day on May 11. Such substantial discounts on newly released iPads are rare, and this sale is expected to last only a few days.

Notably, the starting price of $349 is lower than the previous generation's launch price of $399.

Features that remain unchanged include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the camera. The iPad is also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a compact laptop for improved productivity, making it an excellent choice for students.
