There hasn’t been a better time in 2025 to pick up one of the latest Apple iPads. The 11th-generation iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air (M3), and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro) all went on sale last week—most likely as part of a Mother’s Day promotion—and the deals are still live for a limited time. These discounts offer up to 20% off compared to Apple’s standard pricing, beating even the Apple Education discount in some cases.

For most users, the standard iPad remains the smartest choice—delivering full iOS functionality, strong performance, and excellent value. Released on March 12, 2025—over two years after its predecessor—the 11th-gen model brings meaningful upgrades: the powerful A16 chip (up from A14), 6GB of RAM (vs 4GB), and 128GB of base storage (doubled from 64GB). Remarkably, it launched at $349—$100 less than the previous generation’s starting price.
It retains the same 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display (2360x1640, 264ppi), USB-C charging, Wi-Fi 6, and rear camera. It’s compatible with the Magic Keyboard Folio for laptop-like productivity and supports both the new USB-C Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil Pro, making it a top pick for students and casual creators.
$100 Off the New 2025 iPad Air (M3)
Amazon is offering the 7th-generation iPad Air with the M3 chip at the lowest prices seen so far. The 11-inch model is now $499, and the 13-inch version drops to $699—both with an instant $100 discount. This is the best deal yet on the 2025 iPad Air, released in March as the current flagship mid-tier tablet.
While it’s only a year newer than the M2-powered 6th-gen model, the jump to the M3 chip delivers noticeably better performance for creative work, gaming, and multitasking. It also supports Apple Intelligence, faster Wi-Fi 6e, and the latest Apple Pencil models.
