If you're considering purchasing an Apple iPad in 2025, now is the perfect time. The 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), 7th-gen iPad Air, and iPad Mini (A17 Pro) all went on sale last week, likely tied to a Mother's Day event. These deals offer up to 20% off compared to buying directly from the Apple Store, and they're even cheaper than Apple's Edu discount. Don't miss out—these prices are the best we've seen all year and won't last long.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice, offering the benefits of iOS and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, marks a significant upgrade from the October 2022 model with a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and base storage bumped up to 128GB from 64GB. Remarkably, it's priced at $349, lower than the $399 launch price of its predecessor.

The iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, turning it into a versatile mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
