Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an incredible $259.99 with free shipping. This deal is available for both Blue and Silver models, making it a fantastic opportunity to grab this popular tablet at nearly its lowest ever price. The iPad briefly hit $249 during Black Friday last year, but it sold out in under 24 hours. The current price drop is likely due to the recent announcement of the new 11th generation iPad, which is now up for preorder on Amazon with a shipping date in March.

We've selected the 10th gen iPad as the top overall iPad for 2025. For the majority of users, this model strikes the perfect balance between performance and affordability, offering nearly all the advantages of the iOS ecosystem. It boasts a 10.9-inch display, powered by the A14 Bionic chip, with 64GB of storage, WiFi-6 connectivity, a universal USB Type-C port, and compatibility with the Magic Folio keyboard for laptop-like productivity. Although a new 11th generation iPad is on the way, the price difference might not justify the incremental upgrades for many users.

If you're prepared to spend an additional $70-$90, you can preorder the new 2025 11th generation Apple iPad. This model includes the more powerful A16 Bionic chip, a slightly larger 11-inch display, and 128GB of storage. Note that Apple Intelligence won't be available on this model. While the upgrades are modest, they could be worthwhile if you plan to use the iPad for an extended period.
