On Saturday, the Trump administration rolled out a big exception to its across-the-board tariffs on electronics, such as computers and smartphones. The move spares Apple from major price hikes on a wide majority of its products and is a little relief for consumers and tech companies.
In response, Amazon saw its chance to lower prices on the newly released 11th-generation iPad, which was released just a month ago in March. At $328 down from $349 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model, this is the best deals you’ll find on Apple’s latest tablet (it costs almost the same as the previous iPad 10 which is available for $319) which makes it a must-buy if you’re looking for premium tech at a reasonable price point.
Most Powerful Classic iPad
The 11th-generation iPad is a major leap for Apple’s tablet line. It provides instant performance with the latest A16 chip and it is capable of handling everything from gaming to multitasking effortlessly. This chip was previously reserved for Apple’s high-end line and ensures the iPad performs effortlessly regardless of the app. From photo editing, video streaming, or multiple apps open simultaneously, the A16 chip provides unparalleled speed and efficiency. It is so much better than the A14 chip from the previous iPad 10.
The 11-inch Liquid Retina display of the iPad is another highlight, and this is why people also love Apple tactile tablets. With colors that pop and razor-sharp definition, it’s ideal for watching movies, surfing the web or editing creative work. Basically, it can replace a laptop. The screen also features True Tone technology which changes the color temperature of the screen to match your environment for a more enjoyable viewing experience.
Storage is not an issue with this discounted model either as it has 128GB of internal storage (256GB and 512GB models are not on sale) and provides more than enough space for apps, photos, videos, and documents. For most users, the capacity of this much is well balanced between cost and usability. Additionally, the iPad is Wi-Fi 6 compatible for faster and more reliable internet access.
One of the most useful aspects of the new iPad is its all-day battery. Apple is guaranteeing as much as 10 hours of use on a single charge, which is ideal for long days at the office or on the road. The device also supports fast charging via USB-C so you can quickly top off your battery when you need to. It also supports accessories such as the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Magic Keyboard, turning it into an effective note-taking or productivity tool.
At a mere $319 (reduced from its initial price of $349), this is an 8% discount on one of Apple’s new releases. The savings do not appear significant in contrast with the discounts applicable to earlier models or refurbished products, but this is a very new product being offered at this price level so shortly after release. Amazon’s bold pricing approach ensures that this is an unbeatable deal, despite the tariffs hike.
