SAVE $150: As of Sept. 12, the 10th generation Apple iPad with WiFi connectivity and 256GB of storage is back down to $349 at Amazon. That's 30% off its list price and matches its lowest price on record.


The 10th generation Apple iPad may no longer be the latest and greatest base model in town, but don't count it out. The 2022 model is still a powerful pick in 2025 for anyone looking for a tablet on a budget. After a permanent price drop last year, it became an even more impressive buy. And it's just dropped to its lowest price on record (again).

As of Sept. 12, you can pick up the 10th generation Apple iPad with 256GB and WiFi connectivity for only $349 at Amazon. That's 30% off its list price and matches its best price ever, which it has been hanging out at on and off for a few weeks. The only catch? You'll have to get the pink model (the other colors are sold out at Amazon at the time of writing).

The 10th generation iPad packs an A14 Bionic chip, a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a landscape camera layout that makes video calls appear better, and upgraded stereo speakers for better sound quality. The base model usually starts at 64GB of storage, but this upgraded option comes with 256GB. That's plenty of space to download your favorite shows, movies, and music.

While the iPad Air and Pro are the best options for creatives seeking superior processing speeds, the entry-level iPad is perfect for someone who just wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, or reading. As our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) noted in their review, "The base iPad remains an incredibly capable slate and a better choice than most other models in the same price range."
