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 Blue or Silver. This price is nearly the lowest we've seen, only dipping to $249 during a brief Black Friday sale last year. The reason for this price drop? The new 11th generation iPad has been announced and is now available for preorder on Amazon, with shipping scheduled for March.

We've chosen this 10th gen iPad as the top iPad model of 2025. For most users, this standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance, delivering the full iOS experience and responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. This model boasts a 10.9-inch display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, and a universal USB Type-C charging port. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, which transforms it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While a newer 11th gen iPad is on the way, the additional cost might not justify the incremental upgrades.

If you're ready to invest an extra $70 to $90, you can preorder the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad. This new model comes equipped with the more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence won't be available on this model. While the upgrades are modest, they could be worthwhile if you plan to use the iPad for an extended period.
