Amazon has recently slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to just $259.99, available in Blue or Silver. This deal is nearly the lowest we've seen, with the iPad briefly dipping to $249 during last year's Black Friday. The price reduction is likely due to the announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder with a shipping date in March.

We've selected this model as the best overall iPad for 2025. For most users, the standard iPad offers the perfect balance of iOS features and performance at a budget-friendly price. The 10th gen iPad boasts a 10.9-inch display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While the 11th generation iPad is on the horizon, the price difference might not justify the incremental upgrades.

For those willing to spend an additional $70-$90, the 2025 11th generation iPad is now up for preorder. It features a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be available. While the upgrades are modest, they might be worthwhile if you plan to use the iPad for an extended period.
