In 2025, there's never been a better time to invest in one of the latest Apple iPads. The 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro) all launched last week, likely tied to a Mother's Day sale event. These models are now available at the best prices we've seen this year, and you can still take advantage of these deals for a limited time. You can save up to 20% off compared to purchasing directly from the Apple Store, and these prices are even lower than Apple's educational discount.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) offers the perfect balance of iOS features and performance at a budget-friendly price. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after its predecessor from October 2022. Notable upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and higher base storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.
The unchanged features include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a compact laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
Amazon is currently offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices we've seen. The 11" model is available for $499 and the 13" model for $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've encountered for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip. Launched in March, this model is the latest in the series, just one year newer than the 6th generation, with the primary upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the M3 chip.
