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 ever seen for this model; it briefly hit $249 during Black Friday but sold out in less than 24 hours. The recent price drop is likely due to the announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a shipping date set for March.

We've selected this 10th gen iPad as the best overall iPad for 2025. For the majority of users, this model strikes the perfect balance, offering the full benefits of the iOS operating system and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. It boasts a 10.9-inch display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop. Despite the upcoming 11th gen iPad, the incremental upgrades may not justify the additional cost for many users.

For those willing to invest an additional $70-$90, the 2025 11th generation Apple iPad is now open for preorder.

The upgrades are modest, but if you're planning to use your iPad for years to come, it might be a worthwhile investment.
