Deal: No one should pay full price for an Apple iPad A16 anymore

After its March 2025 release, the Apple iPad A16 has almost never been at its full $349 price point. So much so that we would say no one should pay that much for it anymore. The right price to pay is $299, which is what it has cost most of the time since its launch, and what you can get it for today.
