If you’re thinking of picking up a new iPad for your student or for yourself without draining your savings, now’s a good time to consider the latest model. Apple’s 11th‑gen iPad, or iPad 11, is back at its second‑best price of $299 on Amazon down from $349.
That’s $50 off (14%) the regular price, which is a modest but welcome discount. The deal applies to the Wi‑Fi model with 128 GB of storage in Pink or Blue.
Who is the Apple iPad 11 for?
Apple introduced the iPad 11 in March last year, more than two years after the iPad 10. With that gap, the company delivered meaningful upgrades, making it a solid investment with added future‑proofing. At this lower price, it’s a recommended tablet for anyone who wants a capable device that won’t weigh them down.
The iPad 11 carries the same sleek, modern design as its predecessor but stands out with fresh color options. The real excitement, however, is under the hood. The display is slightly larger at 11 inches, featuring a Liquid Retina panel. It supports the Apple Pencil (USB‑C), though you’ll need to purchase it separately before you can start sketching or drawing. You can also pair it with a Magic Keyboard if you’d like to use it as a laptop replacement on the go.
Inside, the iPad 11 is powered by Apple’s A16 Bionic chipset, delivering a stronger CPU and GPU. With 6 GB of RAM and faster storage, everyday tasks feel smooth, and the tablet can handle heavier workloads without stuttering. It also supports multitasking with Stage Manager. The cameras have been optimized: the 12 MP front camera supports Center Stage, while the rear camera records crisp 4K video.
Battery life remains unchanged, but thanks to software optimizations and the efficient chipset, the iPad 11 still delivers up to 10 hours of video playback. Charging is faster too, with support for 45‑watt wired charging.
