With Mother's Day falling on Saturday, May 11, there's still time to surprise your mom with a thoughtful gift that'll arrive just in time for the weekend. What could be more delightful than gifting her a brand new iPad? Luckily, Amazon has slashed prices on several of the latest iPad models, including the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro). These discounts are the lowest we've seen, even better than those offered during Black Friday.

For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and price. Released on March 12, 2025, this latest model boasts significant upgrades over its predecessor from October 2022. Key improvements include a more powerful A16 processor compared to the A14, an increase to 6GB of RAM from 4GB, and a jump in base storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, this model starts at a lower launch price of $349, down from the previous generation's $399.
Despite the upgrades, it retains the beloved 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. Additionally, it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop ideal for students, and works with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)
Amazon is currently offering unbeatable deals on the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets. The 11" model is now available for $499, and the 13" model for $699, both with a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've encountered for the 2025 model featuring the M3 chip. Released in March, this model is a year newer than the 6th gen and primarily upgraded with the M3 chip over the M2.
