I bought a yellow one for $180. I'll probably just buy a case, so the color won't really matter much.

Community Reviews

The 11th Gen 11-inch iPad stands out for its A16 chip, 6GB of RAM, and strong battery life, with the newer storage options making the base model feel more practical. The iPad interface is described as easy to navigate, and the latest iPadOS adds better multi-app use. The main value theme is price, since better deals have appeared on used or open-box units, with some color options and larger capacities dropping well below the listed price. Setup can be annoying, Wi-Fi is not especially impressive, and the lack of a home button and some iPadOS quirks still frustrate long-term use.

  • The Open Box pink and yellow iPad options can be discounted by about 35% on Amazon.

  • A like-new purchase has reportedly reached about $243 total for 256GB including taxes, improving value versus the $279 new price.

    NICARAUZGeneral_Klinger

  • The iPad can feel more capable than expected thanks to 6GB RAM and improved performance versus assumed lower RAM.

    shark974

  • Using a Discover rewards offer can reduce the effective price to $249 plus tax.

    janusman

  • Amazon purchase verification can block ordering by requiring license photos and documents proving credit-card ownership.

    music3kTheultra85

  • The discounted used-like-new deal can be limited quantity and the lower in-cart price may disappear by checkout.

    SlySol

  • Setup can be frustrating because Apple account and 2FA requirements can lock users out if they lack another Apple device.

    fredettec

  • The iPad experience can include practical limitations such as no background downloads, weaker Wi‑Fi performance, and a camera without a flash.

Pay with Discover rewards offer (30% off - max $30 discount) reduces this to 249 + tax.

Pulled the trigger. Thnx.

I see this price too and very tempted. What are the chances of it dropping further on price for black friday or holiday sales?
Last Black Friday they were $259.99. Not much of a chance with tariffs etc. I picked one up. I would be surprised to see them marked down any further. Time will tell!Cool

I want to wait for BF but my current Ipad has cracked all to heck and my home button fell out months ago, but I have had this for well over 10 years.

Will this be a pain to switch from Android?
I've had this one since new. I've had a dozen iPads and this is one is probably my last. the setup is kinda a pain unless you already have a apple account as they require a bunch of setup stuff. I had a problem with my last one and they locked me out of my account twice. if you don't have another apple device as a 2 factor, they make it annoying. That said the lack of a home button makes switching apps a pain. tons of apps are still phone apps and don't format well. despite having more ram, the os doesn't use it well and still dumps programs out or ram as soon as you close them(slow). it still doesn't download stuff in the background, you need to sit there and watch it until it finishes. still no "close all apps" and you can't push apps to the device from another device. the wifi is not that great. you'd think such a large device would blow away my phone. it does not. it's also 6, not 6e or 7 my android had 4 years ago. The camera doesn't have a flash that limits it usefullness. That said, they finally put in decent sized storage on the "cheap one".

No, as long as you have a basic understanding with electronics it's like riding a bicycle

I think that was a special Prime Day deal on the "Amazon Resale" iPads . You can still find the used ones out there, but the discount is gone so they're basically the same price as a new one.

I ordered one. I've never used IOS. I hope it's decent; my old Galaxy S6 Lite tablet is too slow to deal with.
I'm a diehard Android fan, but iPads are unbeatable for tablets. The OS is easy to navigate, and the newest version (26) is much more useable now that you can resize screens for multi-app use. I have a Pixel Tablet that sits in a drawer because the battery life is terrible. iPads are much better for battery life and developers spend more time on making iOS apps functional.
