For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering all the benefits of iOS with snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, over two years after its predecessor (October 2022), boasts significant upgrades. These include a more powerful processor (A16 vs A14), increased RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and more storage (128GB vs 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous generation's $399.

The retained features include a 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it one of the best iPads for students and compatible with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.

$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)

Amazon is currently offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 at the lowest prices seen to date. The 11" model is now available for $499, and the 13" model for $699, both after a $100 instant discount. This is the best price we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip. Released in March, this current generation iPad Air is only one year newer than the 6th gen model, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip.
