10th Gen Apple iPad Hits 2025 Lowest Price: Ideal for Most Users

Amazon has recently slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an impressive $259.99 with free shipping. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is nearly the lowest we've ever seen for this model; it briefly hit $249 during Black Friday before selling out in under 24 hours. The reason for this price drop? The new 11th generation iPad has been announced and is available for preorder on Amazon with a shipping date in March.

We've selected this model as the best overall iPad of 2025. For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering almost all the advantages of the iOS operating system and responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. This 10th generation iPad boasts a 10.9-inch display, powered by the A14 Bionic chip, and comes with 64GB of internal storage. It features WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and is compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a compact laptop for enhanced productivity. While a newer iPad model is on the horizon, the price difference may not justify the incremental upgrades.

For those willing to spend an additional $70-$90, the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad is now available for preorder. It comes equipped with a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of internal storage. Note that Apple Intelligence won't be available on this model. While the upgrades are mostly incremental, if you plan on keeping your iPad for a long time, the investment might be worthwhile.
