The Newest 11-Inch Apple iPad Is $150 Off Ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale

In an early Amazon Big Spring Sale deal, you can get the Apple iPad (11th generation, 2025) with wifi and cellular capacity for $651 (originally $799) – its lowest price ever, according to price trackers. Available in four colors, this high-performance tablet won a PCMag Best of the Year Awards in 2025.

Apple’s iPad (11th generation, 2025) comes with 512GB of storage and features many of the same specifications as its predecessor, with the main difference being a new processor. It has a 5-core A16 processor for faster performance, and while it doesn’t come equipped with Apple’s AI tools, it easily handles everyday tasks like web browsing, media streaming, and gaming better than most competitors in its class. That said, if you want more advanced processing power, you’ll want to upgrade to the more expensive iPad Air or iPad. iPad Prowhich are also on sale right now.

From a design point of view, this iPad is similar to the 2022 model, typical of Apple 11-inch tablets, featuring Touch ID (not Face ID), requiring a fingerprint to unlock it. It has a resolution of 2,360 x 1,640, a pixel density of 264 ppi, and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Compared to the older model, the screen is slightly larger (11 inches versus 10.9 inches) and uses a Liquid Retina display with an LED-backlit panel reaching up to 500 nits of brightness, although it can still show reflections outdoors. Battery life is approximately 10 hours using a wifi connection and 9 hours using a cellular network. The tablet supports Wi-Fi 6 (but not Wi-Fi 6E) as well as Bluetooth 5.3, 5G below 6 GHz, Gigabit LTE, and GPS.

It has a 12 MP rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture, up to 5x digital zoom, 4K video recording, and support for Apple’s Smart HDR 4 processing. The cameras far outperform cheap or similarly priced tablets from other brands. While it’s not Apple’s most advanced tablet, it hits the sweet spot in most areas, making it one that “most people should buy,” according to PCMag, especially at just $651.20. That said, if you need a more powerful processor, a high-end display, Wi-Fi 6E, or Apple Intelligence features, you may want to upgrade to iPad Airwhich is also 18% off ahead of Amazon’s big spring sale.
