Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an incredible $259.99, with shipping included. You can grab this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is tantalizingly close to the all-time low we witnessed during Black Friday, when it briefly dipped to $249 before selling out in less than 24 hours. The reason behind this attractive discount is likely the recent announcement of the 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a shipping date in March.

We've selected this model as the top iPad of 2025 for its perfect balance of performance and price. For the majority of users, the standard iPad strikes the right chord, offering almost all the advantages of the iOS ecosystem with robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The 10th generation iPad boasts a 10.9-inch display, powered by the A14 Bionic chip, with 64GB of storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, and a universal USB-C charging port. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a compact laptop for enhanced productivity. While the 11th gen iPad is on the horizon, the additional cost might not justify the incremental upgrades for many users.

If you're ready to spend an extra $70-$90, you can now preorder the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad. This model comes equipped with a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence won't be available on this version. While the upgrades are modest, the new iPad might be the better choice if you plan on using it for an extended period.
