Apple's latest iPad drops to a new low of $280 for Prime Day

Prime Day isn't a bad time to grab that iPad you've been eyeing. Amazon's mega-sale has Apple's latest entry-level tablet for a record-low price. You can pick up the 11th-generation iPad, which only launched a few months ago, for $280. That's a hefty discount from its standard price of $350.

This entry-level model gives most people everything they need in a tablet. For browsing, streaming content, reading, gaming or video calls, it's more than up to the task. If you want to use it for light work, Apple sells a Magic Keyboard Folio with a built-in trackpad. (It's also on sale for Prime Day.) And it will get a big productivity upgrade this fall with the introduction of iPadOS 26.

The iPad (A16) has a few compromises over more expensive models. Its processing power, while plenty for most people, isn't on par with the M-series models. It doesn't support Apple Intelligence. Like the iPad Air, it uses Touch ID instead of Face ID. It works with the base-level Apple Pencil, not the Pro version. And its 10.9-inch screen lacks ProMotion (a higher frame rate) and an anti-reflective coating.

This model starts with 128GB of storage. That's double what you got in older versions of the entry-level iPad. It has 6GB of RAM, an increase from the 4GB in its predecessor. It should have no problem lasting through the day: Its battery is rated for 10 hours of use.
