Amazon has cut prices on the 11th‑generation iPad, offering the 128‑GB Wi‑Fi model for $299—a $50 drop from its regular $349 price. The 256‑GB variant now sells for $399, and the 512‑GB version is listed at $597, each reduced by up to $52. These discounts appear in the Amazon storefront this week.

Free shipping estimates place delivery between May 8 and 12 for most units, while Prime subscribers may qualify for same‑day pickup in select markets. The price slashes come close to the lowest seen since Apple’s 2022 launch, signaling Amazon’s push to undercut competitors and refresh its iPad lineup.

For buyers eyeing budget‑friendly tablets, the $299 iPad delivers 10‑hour battery life, a 10‑inch Retina display, and the A16 Bionic chip, while still supporting Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) and the Smart Keyboard. Amazon’s deal makes the latest iPad accessible to a wider audience without compromising flagship performance.

These markdowns arrive as Apple expands its ecosystem with new accessories, such as the AirPods Max 2 and thinner Apple Watch bands, which also see price reductions on Amazon. The convergence of discounted hardware and accessory bundles could spur a surge in early‑adopter sales, pushing the iPad to compete more aggressively against Android tablets in the mid‑range market.
