10th Gen Apple iPad Hits Record Low Price in 2025: Ideal for Most Users

Amazon has recently slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to just $259.99 with free shipping. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is incredibly close to the all-time low we've seen; it briefly hit $249 during Black Friday but sold out within 24 hours. The reason for this enticing discount is likely due to the announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a ship date in March.

We've chosen this model as the top iPad for 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 iOS and responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. The 10th gen iPad boasts a 10.9-inch display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and is compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, enabling you to transform it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While the 11th generation iPad is on the horizon, the additional cost may not justify the incremental upgrades for everyone.

For those willing to spend an extra $70-$90, the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad is now available for preorder. It comes equipped with a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of internal storage. However, it won't support Apple Intelligence. The upgrades are modest, but if you plan to use the iPad for an extended period, the investment could be worthwhile.
