This represents the most substantial price cut seen on the latest iPad model since its debut earlier this year, making it an excellent Mother's Day gift, which falls on May 11. Given that only a select few colors are available at this reduced rate, it's wise to act fast as the sale may not last long.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between iOS functionality and performance at a budget-friendly price. Released on March 12, 2025, this latest model introduces significant upgrades over its predecessor from October 2022, including a more robust A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and enhanced storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is even lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.
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 setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an ideal choice for students. It also supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
