Snappy performance at a great price.
Amazon has just dropped the price of the 10th gen Apple iPad to $259.99 shipped. Currently you can get it in Blue or Silver for this price. This is very close to the lowest price we’ve ever seen; it dropped to $249 for less than 24 hours during Black Friday before it sold out. We’re most likely seeing this price drop because the new 11th gen iPad was just announced and is currently up for preorder on Amazon with a March ship date.

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 nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. This particular 10th gen iPad features a 10.9″ display, A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of internal storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard so you can convert it into a mini laptop for better workflow. There is a newer iPad on the horizon, but the price premium may not be worth the upgrades.

If you’re willing to pay $70-$90 more, the new 2025 11th gen Apple iPad is now up for preorder. It features a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11″ display, and 128GB of internal storage. Apple Intelligence will not be available. Yes, the changes are mostly incremental but if you’re going to keep it for the long haul, it might still be worth the upgrade.
