Mother's Day Sale: New Price Drops on Latest Apple iPads

What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than with the gift of technology? While Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 11, and the window for timely delivery has mostly passed, there’s still time to snag a fantastic deal on one of Apple’s latest iPad models. Whether you're shopping last-minute or planning ahead, these current discounts offer incredible value — and a late gift is always better than none at all.

Among the best options available are the newest iPad models, including the 2025 Apple iPad (A16), the iPad Air (M3), and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro), all now available at some of the lowest prices of the year. These deals won’t last forever, so if you’re considering an iPad as a gift or personal upgrade, now is the perfect moment to act.

New 2025 Apple iPad 10.9" (A16) Starting at $267

The base model iPad remains one of the most compelling choices for those seeking powerful iOS performance without breaking the bank. The latest A16 chip delivers faster processing power compared to its predecessor, along with increased RAM (6GB vs. 4GB) and double the storage capacity (128GB vs. 64GB). Despite these upgrades, Apple actually lowered the starting price from $399 to $349 — and right now, several retailers are offering even deeper discounts.

For example, select color variants like Yellow and Pink are currently available for only $267.17 and $277.78 respectively — representing significant savings. Other colors such as Silver and Blue are also discounted to $299.00 at major retailers like Amazon and Walmart.
