The 2025 iPad is back under $300 at Amazon
SAVE $50: As of July 30, the 11th-generation Apple iPad (128GB, WiFi) is back under $300. Scoop it up at Amazon for $299 and save 14% or $50.
It may not be as impressive as the Pro or Air, but the basic iPad is proof that Apple can create solid entry-level tech. Even after its 2025 glow up, it's still the most affordable tablet in Apple's lineup — even defeating the mini.
As of July 30, the already budget-friendly iPad (11th generation) is back down to just $299 at Amazon. That's $50 or 14% in savings from its usual list price of $349. While that's not its lowest price to date, it's still a stellar price point for what you're getting.
The 11th-generation iPad brought us some much-appreciated upgrades, including a processor boost to Apple's A16 chip, the same one found in the latest iPhones. That means switching between apps is smoother, performance is snappier, and load times are more instant. The base model also comes with 128GB of storage, which is effectively double what previous iPad base models packed under the hood.
While it probably won't wow you like the iPad Pro, the basic iPad (11th generation) still does a great job for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, reading, or even doubling as a budget laptop. And at $299, it's the cheapest new iPad you'll find.
