Starting today, Amazon has significantly reduced the price of the latest 2025 11th generation Apple iPad (A16) tablet. Now available at a remarkable $299, down from $349, this $50 price drop applies to all four vibrant colors: Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver, each equipped with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi only connectivity. This represents the best discount seen on the newest iPad model since its launch earlier this year, making it a perfect gift for Mother's Day on May 11. Such a substantial discount on a recently released iPad is rare, and we anticipate this sale will only last a couple of days.
Update: The price of these iPads decreased from $349 to $319 last week, and this week it has dropped further to $299. Initially, only Blue and Yellow were discounted, but now all four colors are available at the reduced price.
