2025 marks an exceptional year to invest in one of the latest Apple iPads, with significant sales on the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro) that began last week. These discounts, likely tied to a Mother's Day promotion, offer savings of up to 20% off compared to purchasing directly from the Apple Store. Remarkably, these prices undercut even Apple's educational discounts, making it an ideal time to buy.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering the full suite of iOS benefits and impressive performance at a budget-friendly price. Released on March 12, 2025, over two years after its predecessor (October 2022), the current model boasts upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus the A14), increased RAM (6GB from 4GB), and enhanced storage (128GB from 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is lower than the previous generation's $399.
Key features that remain unchanged include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, which transforms it into a mini laptop, ideal for students, and supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
