Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an irresistible $259.99, and it's available in Blue or Silver. This deal is nearly the lowest we've seen; it briefly hit $249 during Black Friday before selling out. The price drop likely coincides with the announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now up for preorder on Amazon with a ship date in March.

We've selected this model as the top iPad of 2025. For the majority of users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, offering nearly all the advantages of the iOS operating system and impressive performance at a budget-friendly price. This 10th gen iPad boasts a 10.9" display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While a new iPad is on the way, the price difference might not justify the upgrades.

If you're willing to invest an additional $70-$90, you can preorder the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad. It comes equipped with a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence won't be available. Although the updates are incremental, the 11th gen might be a wise choice for those looking for longevity.
