10th Gen Apple iPad Hits Lowest Price in 2025: Ideal for Most Users

Amazon has just dropped the price of the 10th gen Apple iPad to a remarkable $259.99, including shipping. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is nearly the lowest we've ever seen; it briefly hit $249 during Black Friday but sold out in less than 24 hours. The timing of this price drop coincides with the announcement of the new 11th gen iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a ship date in March.

We've selected this model as the best overall iPad of 2025. For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the ideal choice, offering nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. This 10th gen iPad boasts a 10.9" display, an A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of internal storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop for enhanced productivity. While a newer iPad model is on the horizon, the price premium might not justify the incremental upgrades.

For those willing to spend an additional $70-$90, the new 2025 11th gen Apple iPad is now available for preorder. It features a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of internal storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be available on this model. While the changes are mostly incremental, if you plan to use it for the long term, the upgrade might be worth considering.
