Amazon has slashed the price of the 10th-generation Apple iPad to just $259.99 with free shipping! Currently, you can snag this deal in Blue or Silver. This price is incredibly close to its all-time low, a fleeting $249 during Black Friday, which sold out in under 24 hours. This price drop is likely due to the recent announcement of the new 11th-generation iPad, now available for preorder on Amazon with a March shipping date.

We've chosen this model as our top overall iPad of 2025. For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) offers the best value, providing nearly all the benefits of iOS and snappy performance at an affordable price. This 10th-generation iPad boasts a 10.9" display, the powerful A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, a universal USB-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard for a laptop-like experience. While a newer iPad is on the horizon, the price difference might not justify the incremental upgrades.

If you're willing to spend $70-$90 more, the 2025 11th-generation iPad is available for preorder. It features a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be included. The improvements are mostly incremental, but if you plan on keeping your iPad for a long time, the upgrade might be worthwhile.
