For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability. Launched on March 12, 2025, this 11th-generation model brings significant upgrades over its predecessor from October 2022. It now features a more powerful A16 chip, 6GB of RAM, and a base storage of 128GB, all at a starting price of $349, which is even lower than the $399 launch price of the previous generation.
The iPad retains the 10.9" Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 2360x1640 (264ppi), USB Type-C charging, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the same camera setup. It's also compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a versatile mini laptop, perfect for students, and works seamlessly with the latest Apple Pencil with USB-C.
Amazon is currently offering unbeatable deals on the 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3. You can grab the 11" model for just $499 and the 13" model for $699, both after a $100 instant discount. These prices are the lowest we've seen for the 2025 model equipped with the M3 chip. Released in March, this iPad Air model is only one year newer than its predecessor, with the primary upgrade being the shift from the M2 to the more powerful M3 chip.
