Apple has not moved the price of the 11-inch iPad (128GB, WiFi) by a single dollar on its official website but Amazon has dropped it twice in recent days, and the current price sits at $299, down from the $349 Apple continues to charge and below the $320 Amazon was asking just a few days ago. The second consecutive drop on the same product in the same week is unusual, and at this point the gap between buying from Apple and buying from Amazon is wide enough that there is no argument for going directly to the brand.

A16 chip, Liquid Retina display, and the full iPad ecosystem at a price Apple will not offer you

The 11-inch iPad runs Apple’s A16 chip, the same processor that powered the iPhone 14 Pro and still handles every app, game, photo editing task, and creative workflow on iPadOS without hesitation. The Liquid Retina display at 2360-by-1640 pixels adjusts color temperature automatically via True Tone to match the ambient lighting in the room, which keeps reading, drawing, and watching comfortable across changing conditions throughout the day. Wi-Fi 6 handles fast uploads, downloads, and streaming on congested home networks without the slowdowns that older wireless standards produce when multiple devices compete for bandwidth.
