Amazon has revived its May iPad promotion, pricing the 11‑inch 128 GB Wi‑Fi iPad at $299. The discount represents a $50 cut from the usual price and applies to all four colour finishes. Shoppers can also snag $50 off the 256 GB and 512 GB variants, making the deal attractive for both casual users and power‑buyers.

The sale isn’t limited to the base model; the 2026 11‑inch iPad Air with the M4 chip drops to $519.99, an $80 reduction, while the 13‑inch Air sits at $749, $50 cheaper. M5‑chip iPad Pro 11‑inch (256 GB) now costs $899, down $100, and the 13‑inch 2 TB version falls to $2,171.15, a $228 saving.

Apple Pencil accessories join the markdowns, with the USB‑C Pencil at $69 ($10 off) and the Pencil Pro at $99.99, $30 cheaper. These bundled savings give buyers a rare opportunity to upgrade an entire iPad ecosystem at a fraction of retail cost, reinforcing Amazon’s role as a key discount channel for Apple hardware.

Seasonal price cuts like these help Amazon clear inventory ahead of the back‑to‑school rush, while giving Apple a broader foothold in price‑sensitive segments. Consumers who missed last year’s $299 iPad 11 promotion now have a chance to purchase a capable tablet without stretching their budget, reinforcing the trend of major retailers shaping Apple’s market dynamics.
