2025 marks an exceptional year to invest in the latest Apple iPads, with the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro) all hitting the market last week. These models are currently on sale, likely due to a Mother's Day event, at the best prices seen all year. You can save up to 20% by purchasing from retailers like Amazon, rather than directly from the Apple Store, and these deals are even better than Apple's educational discounts.

For most consumers, the standard iPad is the go-to choice. It offers all the benefits of iOS with responsive performance at a budget-friendly price. The current model, launched on March 12, 2025, boasts significant upgrades over its October 2022 predecessor, including a more powerful A16 processor, increased RAM from 4GB to 6GB, and enhanced storage from 64GB to 128GB. Remarkably, the starting price of $349 is lower than the previous model's launch price of $399.
The features that have remained consistent include the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The iPad also retains the same camera and is compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, allowing it to transform into a compact laptop for enhanced productivity. This makes it an excellent choice for students, especially when paired with the newer Apple Pencil with USB-C.
