The 10th Gen Apple iPad Drops to the Lowest Price for 2025: The Best iPad for Most People

Amazon has just dropped the price of the 10th gen Apple iPad to $259.99 shipped. Currently you can get it in Blue or Silver for this price. This is very, very close to the lowest price we've ever seen; it dropped to $249 for less than 24 hours during Black Friday before it completely sold out. This is still the most popular iPad for good reason. We picked this model as the best overall iPad and the one that most people should choose.

Apple iPad 10.9" 10th Gen for $259.99

We're most likely seeing this price drop because the new 11th gen iPad was just announced and is currently up for preorder. For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. This particular 10th gen iPad features a 10.9" display, A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of internal storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard so you can convert it into a mini laptop for better workflow (making it one of the best iPads for students).
