The latest Apple iPad just dropped to the lowest price ahead of the holiday season. Amazon is offering the 11th generation Apple iPad, featuring the A16 processor, for just $274.99 with free shipping after a $70 off instant discount. This is the same deal I saw during Black Friday. The price went back up after Cyber Monday, but it’s back for a little while longer. Even if you don’t need one yourself, these would make awesome gifts for just about anyone (kids included) for Christmas.
Apple iPad 11th Gen for $275 (Originally $349)
We picked this model as the best overall iPad of 2025. For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. The new 11th generation model improves upon its predecessor with a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11″ display, and the base model now has 128GB of internal storage instead of the paltry 64GB. If you’re specifically looking for Apple Intelligence support, you’ll have to look elsewhere because the A16 chip still doesn’t support it.
This deal is part of Amazon’s Black Friday sale that kicked off yesterday. Apple also recently announced its own Black Friday event, but no direct discounts on iPad models were mentioned.
