"10th Gen Apple iPad Hits Lowest Price in 2025: Ideal for Most Users"

Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an impressive $259.99, including shipping. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is tantalizingly close to the all-time low we witnessed during Black Friday, when it briefly dipped to $249 before selling out in a flash. The reason behind this tempting price drop? The announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a shipping date set for March.

We've selected this model as the top iPad choice for 2025. For the majority of users, the standard iPad (as opposed to the Air, Mini, or Pro models) strikes the perfect balance, offering nearly all the advantages of the iOS ecosystem and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. The 10th gen iPad comes equipped with a 10.9" display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of internal 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 newer iPad model is on the way, the price difference might not justify the incremental upgrades for everyone.

If you're prepared to spend an additional $70-$90, the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad is now up for preorder. It boasts a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of internal storage. Note that Apple Intelligence won't be available. While the improvements are modest, for those planning to use the device long-term, it could be a worthwhile investment.
