Mother's Day is coming up on Saturday, May 11, and there's still time to find the perfect gift and have it delivered right to her doorstep. What better way to celebrate than with a brand new iPad? Amazon has just 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 people, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best choice, offering all the benefits of iOS and snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model, released on March 12, 2025, comes over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). It boasts significant upgrades including a more powerful A16 processor (versus A14), increased RAM (6GB versus 4GB), and more storage (128GB versus 64GB). Remarkably, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than the previous model's $399.
The specs that remain unchanged include the 10.9" Liquid Retina 2360x1640 (264ppi) display, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Additionally, it supports the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
$100 Off the New 2025 Apple iPad Air (M3)
Amazon is currently offering the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablets at the lowest prices we've seen. The 11" model is now available for $499, and the 13" model for $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These are the best prices we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip. Released in March, the 7th gen iPad Air is the current generation model, only one year newer than the 6th gen, with the primary upgrade being the transition from the M2 to the M3 chip.
