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

Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an incredible $259.99, including shipping. This deal applies to both the Blue and Silver models, making it one of the best times to buy. This price is very close to the all-time low of $249, which was only available for a fleeting 24 hours during Black Friday before selling out. The reason behind this enticing price drop is likely due to the recent announcement of the 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a shipping date set for March.
