A16 iPad drops to $300 at Amazon

Apple’s 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip is on sale at Amazon, marked down $50 to $300. It has been overshadowed by new Air and Mini models arriving in 2025 and strong competition from Samsung and the Kindle Scribe.

The A16 iPad sits between high-end tablets and budget models, delivering smooth performance for games, streaming and everyday tasks such as email and web browsing, while costing far less than top-tier tablets.

It features an 11-inch Liquid Retina display with 2360×1640 resolution and True Tone, plus Wi-Fi 6, 12MP front and rear cameras, and Center Stage for video calls.

Opting for the A16 model can free money for accessories like the Apple Pencil (1st Gen or USB-C; not the Apple Pencil Pro) and the Magic Keyboard Folio to add note-taking and laptop-like functionality. Amazon’s $300 price presents a strong value for a reliable tablet.
