Land Apple’s most affordable current-generation iPads as low as $284 shipped today
As we approach the 2025 4th of July holiday, we are starting to see a decent selection of deals on Apple’s latest iPad lineup and the most affordable of them all is now at least $50 off. You can land the latest 11-inch iPad A16 in all four colorways again down at $299 shipped on Amazon to bring home Apple’s least pricey 2025 tablet release, and they are selling for even less in open-box condition at Best Buy right now.
While we have seen select colors for a touch less at Amazon in very limited sales, the $299 dealwe are tracking right now is otherwise the best we have seen to date. And, all things considered, bringing home a current-generation iPad, even if it is the least powerful model, is a steal at this price if you ask me.
When it comes to users that are just looking for a casual experience – web browsing, social media, video chatting with friends and the fam, some entertainment while traveling, and this sort of thing – the iPad A16 delivers a ton of value at $299.
While it might not be worth it for some, the open-box listings at Best Buy are a touch lower than that even, complete with 1-year Apple warranties in “excellent” condition as well. We aren’t talking massively lower prices here, but you can bring the silver model into your setup down at $283.99 shipped right now – the rest of the colors are available in open-box condition as well (select your colorand hit the Open Box link above the Add to Cart button), but they aren’t quite as low as the silver.
The next most affordable iPad in the current-generation lineup is also on sale right now – the iPad mini 7. This is the least pricey model that supports Apple Intelligence and we are now tracking $100 off just about every configuration in the lineup starting from $399. All of the details you need on these deals are waiting right here.
Our launch coverage over at 9to5Mac details everything you need to know on the new iPad (A16).
Apple Pencil Pro falls back to the Amazon 2025 low today at $99 ahead of July 4th
Amazon has now dropped the latest Apple Pencil Pro back down to $99 shipped. Regularly $129, this is matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon since a couple short-lived holiday offers last year and the fall discounts that haven’t returned since.
