This sale is available in Silver and Blue, while Pink and Yellow are just a few cents higher. Although this is just a $20 discount, it remains the lowest price we've ever tracked for the new iPad, and right now only Amazon has these record low prices.





You can also get the 256GB Wi-Fi iPad for $419.80, down from $449.00, and the 512GB Wi-Fi iPad for $601.67, down from $649.00. We're not tracking any discounts on the cellular models of the 11th generation iPad right now.

The 11th generation iPad is mainly a spec bump for the tablet line, now featuring the A16 chip and more storage, with the same design as the 10th generation iPad. The new ‌iPad‌ starts with 128GB of storage, and is also available in 256GB and a new 512GB configuration. The previous model was only available in 64GB and 256GB configurations.

Seeing that Best Buy is showing $0.14 more for the base iPad.

When will it go down to $299 again?

I’m pretty sure that $299 price was for the Gen 10 iPad. So far, this is the lowest I’ve ever seen for a Gen 11. How long it’ll take for the new iPad to touch $299 is anyone’s guess and will probably depend on how well it is selling.

The 10th Gen started at $449 in the US so price adjustments are a thing with Apple.
 
Where does the "regular" iPad sit in terms of market positioning between the iPad mini, iPad Air and iPad Pro? I understand iPad Pro and mini, the former is for people that want a laptop experience at times along with portability and the latter is for ultra portability on the go.

I don't quite understand who the regular iPad is for and even the iPad Air for that matter. The product line is confusing, just like the new Mac Studio that uses an M3 Ultra.
 
When they can get them in stock, Micro Center shows the base ones for $315. The 256GB is 405, etc. And they also discounted their cell versions: the cheapest one is 450. But they won't ship anything, so you have to go to a store.

That iPad is the basic model. The middle models are the iPad Air and the iPad Mini, depending on what size you want. Then the Pros are the most expensive ones. If you don't have a need for anything fancy and you don't think it's too big, the 11 inch basic iPad is just fine, and is not coincidentally the one public schools tend to buy for kids to use.

Public schools buy Chromebooks, not iPads. iPads are used mostly in speciality education settings.

I understand where they sit in the product lineup based on pricing, not by utilization. So, the regular iPad is for kids? What's the difference between it and the Air, then?

they buy both, but the iPads they buy are still mostly the basic ones, as already mentioned.

Not really. Go ask a parent. Schools issue Chromebooks. Fancy schools issue MacBook Airs. iPads are seldom seen outside of assistive technology uses.
 
I bought the blue model because they where out of the silver one lol this is a pretty good iPad replaced my iPad 9 which was really started to show its age with iOS 18 the 11 is pretty fast I don’t really need apple intelligence for anything and save some on the Apple Pencil because I can use the lightning version with this iPad like the 9!

Media consumption, web browsing, other basic utility tasks. It pretty much does what the more expensive iPads do, just not as fast. Personally I have a hard time justifying an iPad Pro from a price standpoint as all that power isn't necessary to do with the majority of iPad users do. You get a keyboard and the pencil and you're in MacBook Pro territory in terms of price. I do think the iPad line is confusing. The iPad Air should probably be eliminated and they could streamline it down to iPad, iPad Mini, and iPad Pro.
 
$240 with education/veterans discount refurbished 10th gen on Apple Store. There’s no need to get an 11 over the 10.
 
That's not too bad, but I think we all know it'll be down to $250-$275 by Black Friday in November. It may even reach $299 by Prime Day this summer.
