With Mother's Day approaching on Saturday, May 11, you still have time to find the perfect gift that can arrive by the weekend. What could be a more thoughtful present than a brand new iPad? Fortunately, 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 deals are the lowest prices we've seen, matching or even beating the best offers from Black Friday.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. The latest model, released on March 12, 2025, builds on its predecessor from October 2022 with significant upgrades: it now features the A16 processor instead of the A14, boasts 6GB of RAM over the previous 4GB, and offers 128GB of storage compared to 64GB. Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is even lower than the $399 starting price of the previous generation.
The iPad retains its impressive 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), along with USB Type-C charging and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The camera remains unchanged, and it's compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop ideal for students. It also supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C, enhancing its utility for note-taking and creative tasks.
Amazon is currently offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air with M3 chip at unprecedented low prices. The 11" model is now available for $499, while the 13" model can be yours for $699, both with a $100 instant discount. These are the best deals we've seen on the 2025 model equipped with the powerful M3 chip. Released in March, this current generation model is only a year newer than its predecessor, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip.
