We are tracking plenty of notable iPad deals this week, for the all-new M4 iPad Air and $200 off M3 Air models, through to $100 price drops on iPad mini, and more. But we are now once again tracking the most affordable current-generation iPad you can buy back down at $299 – Amazon has all four colors back on sale.
Amazon is now offering the most affordable iPad 11 down at $299 shipped and all four colors are now live and in stock at the discounted rate once again.
This model carries a $350 list price and is now back at the best price of the year on Amazon.
We did see it drop a touch lower in the $275 range for Black Friday last year, but anything less than $299 has been rare at best. We might see it drop another $20 or $25 in the big 2026 sale events, but anything less than $299 has been otherwise mostly unpredictable.
For most iPad users, the iPad Air seems to be the right fit, landing right down the middle in terms of price and power. But if you’re just looking for a super casual iPad experience for browsing, social media action, video chatting with the squad, and so forth, the iPad 11 (Apple iPad couch browser) – the iPad that’s perfect for swiping around online while you’re sorta watching Netflix in the evenings – is a perfect option if you ask me.
