If you want one of the best tablets, you can’t go wrong with an iPad. And now, an Amazon iPad deal (for the 11-inch A16 version) sees a tempting discount on one of Apple’s core tablets.
Amazon is currently selling the 128GB Wi-Fi version of the A16 iPad for $299 on Amazon US and £309.97 on Amazon UK. That’s a $50 saving for US buyers and just over £19 off in the UK, for those keeping count.
The deal applies to Apple’s latest A16-powered iPad, which launched as the successor to the 10th-generation iPad. While it still sits below the iPad Air and iPad Pro in Apple’s lineup, it carries over the same modern design language introduced with the previous model – including slim bezels, USB-C charging, landscape front camera placement, and an 11-inch Liquid Retina display.
It’s the A16 chip, though, that gives this iPad far more grunt than most people will realistically need for casual use. Streaming Netflix, juggling tabs, gaming, video calls, editing photos, or hopping between apps all feel effortlessly smooth.
Apple also doubled the base storage compared to older entry-level iPads, so you now get 128GB as standard, rather than the cramped 64GB Apple used to offer. That alone makes this model feel far better value than previous base iPads.
Apple rates the tablet for up to 10 hours of web browsing or video playback, which should comfortably cover most daily use. You also get support for the Apple Pencil USB-C and Magic Keyboard Folio if you want to turn it into more of a lightweight laptop replacement.
Storage upgrades are discounted, too. Amazon currently has the 256GB Wi-Fi model for $399 in the US, while the larger 512GB version has dropped to around $597, making this a great time to strike if you were on the iPad fence.
