Apple’s Newest 11-Inch IPad Is $150 Off Ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
As part of Amazon’s early spring sale, you can snag an Apple iPad (11th generation, 2025) with Wi-Fi and cellular for $651 (originally $799)—the lowest price ever, according to price tracking sites . This feature-packed tablet, available in four colors, won PCMag’s “Best Tablet of the Year” award for 2025.
The Apple iPad (11th generation, 2025) comes with 512GB of storage and shares many of the same features as its predecessor, with the main difference being the new processor. It features a 5-core A16 processor for faster performance, and while it lacks Apple’s AI tools, it handles everyday tasks like web browsing, media streaming, and gaming with ease—better than most competitors in its class. However, if you need more processing power, you should upgrade to the more expensive iPad Air or iPad Pro , which are also currently on sale.
Design-wise, this iPad is similar to the 2022 model, which is typical for Apple’s 11-inch tablets, with Touch ID (rather than Face ID) requiring fingerprint unlocking. It has a 2360 x 1640 resolution, a 264 ppi pixel density, and a 60Hz refresh rate. Compared to the old model, the screen is slightly larger (11 inches versus 10.9 inches) and uses a Liquid Retina display with an LED backlight that reaches up to 500 nits of brightness, although glare may still be noticeable outdoors. Battery life is rated at approximately 10 hours on Wi-Fi and 9 hours on cellular. The tablet supports Wi-Fi 6 (but not Wi-Fi 6E), as well as Bluetooth 5.3, 5G sub-6GHz, Gigabit LTE, and GPS.
It features a 12-megapixel rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture, up to 5x digital zoom, 4K video recording, and support for Apple’s Smart HDR 4 processing. The cameras significantly outperform cheaper or similarly priced tablets from other brands in terms of image quality. While it’s not Apple’s most advanced tablet, it’s perfect in most respects, making it “a must-buy for most people,” according to PCMag, especially at just $651.20. However, if you need a more powerful processor, a better display, Wi-Fi 6E, or Apple Intelligence features, you might want to consider the iPad Air , which is also on sale for 18% off ahead of Amazon’s Spring Sale.
