"Apple iPads Discounted for Mother's Day"

Mother's Day is just around the corner on Saturday, May 11, which means you still have time to secure a special gift that will arrive by the weekend. What could be more perfect than gifting a brand new iPad? Thankfully, Amazon has slashed prices on several of the latest iPad models, including the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro). These discounts are the lowest we've seen, matching or even surpassing the best deals from Black Friday.

For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. The latest generation, released on March 12, 2025, boasts significant improvements over its predecessor from October 2022. Key upgrades include a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and doubled storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the launch price has dropped to $349, undercutting the previous model's starting price of $399.

The new iPad retains its 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a 2360x1640 resolution (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, turning it into a versatile mini laptop for enhanced productivity, making it an excellent choice for students. Plus, it supports the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C for a seamless drawing and note-taking experience.
