Amazon Slashes Prices on Latest Apple iPads

2025 marks an excellent time to invest in the latest Apple iPads, with a range of models currently on sale.

You can save up to 20% compared to purchasing directly from the Apple Store, and these deals are even more substantial than Apple's educational discounts. Let's dive into the specifics of these enticing offers.

Released on March 12, 2025, the current model boasts significant upgrades over its predecessor from October 2022. It now features a more powerful A16 chip compared to the A14, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled base storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, it's priced at $349, which is lower than the $399 launch price of the previous model.

The iPad retains its 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution and 264ppi, USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. Its compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard transforms it into a versatile mini laptop, perfect for students, and it supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
