The Newest Apple iPad Drops Back to Its Lowest Price Ever Ahead of Memorial Day
The tablet deals have returned.
Amazon’s Memorial Day Sale is already in full swing, and with it, Apple’s latest iPad is back to its lowest price ever. The classic 11-inch iPad with an A16 processor just came out in March, and we’re excited to see it already getting discounted. It’s rare for these sales to happen so soon after an Apple release. However, this isn’t even the first time it’s dropped in price, as the newest iPad had $50 knocked off a couple weeks ago, with the same savings leading up to the unofficial start to summer this weekend. Right now, every color of the iPad is a great deal, so grab an option that fits your aesthetic while it lasts.
The 11th-generation iPad isn’t the only iPad model seeing discounts right now; a bunch of Apple’s latest tablets, including the iPad Air (2025) and iPad mini (2024), plus some other great tablets, are on sale before the holiday weekend.
Score $50 off the new 2025 Apple iPad (A16)
With its combination of affordability and capability, the 11th-generation iPad is the best iPad model for most people. This iPad has slight upgrades from previous generations. Most notably, it now comes with an A16 processor rather than an A14, making for even snappier performance in everyday tasks from scrolling socials to streaming. Base storage also doubled to 128GB, leaving extra space to download apps and games, while the screen only got a minuscule size increase from 10.9 inches to 11 inches. But even with these changes, Apple didn’t up the cost from the 10th-generation model, so the starting price is just $349.
Not much else has changed with the newest iPad. It looks nearly identical and still offers the same Wi-Fi 6 connection, camera, and USB-C charging. Support for Apple’s Magic Folio keyboard and the Apple Pencil (USB-C) also makes it a viable option for lighter workflows, but if you're after serious power, the iPad Air or iPad Pro may be a better option.
Save up to $100 on the Latest iPad Air (M3) models
If you need just a bit more power than the classic iPad can offer, the latest 7th-generation iPad Air (M3) models, which also came out this March, are on sale ahead of Memorial Day. The Air is our favorite iPad for students, thanks to its impressive M3 processor (the same found in some MacBooks), making it a productivity beast. While the M3 silicon is the only major upgrade from the 6th-generation iPad Air released in 2024, it’s nice to see the new models already discounted. Greater savings can be found on the 13-inch iPad Air (M3), with $100 knocked off the price. The 11-inch iPad Air is discounted by $70.
New iPad mini is $100 off right now
The seventh-generation iPad mini is also available for its lowest price ever, costing just $399 for a 20% savings. While this isn’t the first time it has been priced this low, $100 off isn’t too shabby for such a recently released iPad.
The mini finally got a long-overdue revamp in the fall of 2024, bringing upgrades to the processor, RAM, base storage, Wi-Fi, and charging port. Now running on A17 Pro silicon and 8GB of RAM, the iPad mini has some major zip and supports Apple Intelligence. The vibrant and compact 8.3-inch display puts it right in between the size of a typical smartphone and a tablet, making it an ideal reading tablet, while the support for the Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C) means the iPad mini is a great tool for note-taking as well.
Other Tablet Deals Happening Right Now
Maybe you want something a little bit cheaper, or are team Android. Plenty of other tablets are discounted during Amazon’s Memorial Day sale. From lower-powered options that just handle the basics, like streaming shows and checking email, to powerful machines that keep up with the iPad Pro, we’ve found a few great tablets on sale.
