The 10th Gen Apple iPad Drops to the Lowest Price for 2025: The Best iPad for Most People

By LucyMar 17,2025

Amazon has slashed the price of the 10th-generation Apple iPad to just $259.99 with free shipping! Currently, you can snag it in Blue or Silver at this fantastic price. This deal comes incredibly close to the all-time low of $249, a price briefly seen during Black Friday before selling out. This price drop is likely due to the recent announcement of the new 11th-generation iPad, now available for preorder on Amazon with a March shipping date.

We chose this model as our best overall iPad of 2025. For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) offers the best value, providing nearly all the benefits of iOS and snappy performance at an affordable price. This 10th-gen iPad boasts a 10.9" display, the powerful A14 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, a convenient USB-C charging port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard—transforming it into a mini-laptop for enhanced productivity. While a newer iPad is on the horizon, the price difference might not justify the incremental upgrades for many.

If you're willing to spend an extra $70-$90, the 2025 11th-generation Apple iPad is available for preorder. It features a more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11" display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence will not be included. While the improvements are largely incremental, the upgrade might be worthwhile for those planning long-term use.
