What could be a better Mother's Day present than a brand new iPad? Mother's Day falls on Sunday, May 11th, which unfortunately means the window for on-time delivery has mostly passed. However, these iPad deals are still active (and some are even more attractive than before), and a belated gift is certainly better than no gift at all. Several of the latest iPad models, including the 11th-generation Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-generation iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro), are currently available at the lowest prices we've seen this year.
New price drop. Earlier this week, the iPad saw a $50 discount, bringing it down to $299. Currently, the Yellow and Pink models are even more affordable, priced at $267.17 and $277.78, respectively. These discounted prices won't last long, so place your order promptly.

BlueFor most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice because it delivers all the advantages of iOS along with responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model launched on March 12, 2025, more than two years after its predecessor (October 2022). Key upgrades include a more powerful processor (A16 vs A14), increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and more base storage (128GB vs 64GB). Best of all, the starting price of $349 is actually lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.
Specifications that remain unchanged are the 10.9-inch Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the camera system. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for improved productivity, making it one of the best iPads for students, and it works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
Amazon is currently offering the 7th-generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at their lowest prices to date. The 11-inch model is discounted to $499, and the 13-inch model is down to $699, both after an instant $100 savings. This is the best price we've tracked for this 2025 model featuring the M3 chip. The 7th-gen iPad Air was released in March and is the current model. It's only one year newer than the 6th-gen version, with the main upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the M3 chip.
