"Amazon Slashes Prices on New Apple iPads, Including 2025 Models"

For a limited time, Amazon continues to offer deep discounts on the latest Apple iPad (March 2025), iPad Mini (October 2024), and iPad Air (March 2025). This sale began just before Mother’s Day and is still active—though some color options are beginning to return to their original prices. A significant discount on such recently released models is rare, so it's unlikely these deals will last much longer.

For most users, the standard iPad (not Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice—it delivers all the benefits of iOS with responsive performance at an accessible price. The current model launched on March 12, 2025—more than two years after the previous generation (October 2022). Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 chip (up from A14), increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and double the base storage (128GB vs 64GB). Even better? The starting price of $349 is actually lower than the prior generation’s $399 launch price.

Features carried over include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display (2360x1640 resolution, 264ppi), USB Type-C port, Wi-Fi 6 support, and the same camera system. It also pairs seamlessly with the Magic Keyboard Folio for laptop-style productivity and works with the newer Apple Pencil featuring USB-C connectivity—making it one of the top picks for students and casual creators.

$100 Off the 2025 iPad Air M3 Tablet

Amazon is now offering the 7th-gen Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices seen yet. The 11-inch model is available for $499, and the larger 13-inch version drops to $699, both after applying the $100 instant discount. These represent the best values we've tracked for this 2025 M3-powered model.

The new iPad Air was released in March 2025 and serves as the current generation model. While only a year newer than the 6th-gen version, the biggest leap comes in the form of the upgraded M3 processor (replacing the M2).
