Apple's Newest 11th Gen iPad Joins the Memorial Day Sale With Its First-Ever Price Drop, and It's Selling Out Fast
Having the very latest and newest tech is great, of course, but sometimes the best buys are the previous-gen devices that cost significantly less but are still top performers. Cast in point: the 11th Gen Apple iPad, which has more than enough of the latest perks while dipping under the $300 mark for the first time.
This 11-inch tablet has the A16 Bionic chip driving the action, and before you dismiss it for not being one of Apple's vaunted M4 or M3 chips, the A16 Bionic chip is the same powerful brain that makes the iPhone 14 Pro series so great. The price difference between the 11th Gen iPad and its more recent stablemates more than makes up for the slight difference in processing power.

Productivity at a Great Price
The 11th Gen iPad isn't a discontinued or refurbished tablet — it's actually one of the newest members of Apple's current iPad lineup, released just this past March. It sits at the perfect price point for buyers who want the iPad's incredible Liquid Retina screen and multitasking power for gaming and productivity but maybe don't want to make the significantly larger investment for the iPad Pro M4 or iPad Air M3.
Many of the same features that make those high-end iPads a great streaming device or laptop-like experience are also present in the 11th Gen iPad. It supports the USB-C Apple Pencil and 1st Gen Apple Pencil, along with the Magic Keyboard Folio, and has the same Landscape 12MP Center Stage camera for video calls and conferencing, and 12MP rear Wide camera which can shoot 4K video.
All the Latest Apps
The 11th Gen iPad runs the current iPadOS, with several of Apple's best apps built in and access to over 1 million more at the App Store. Games, reading apps, artistry and photo editing, podcasts, and high-end productivity are always just a click away with the 11th Gen iPad, which makes the sub-$300 price even more amazing.
As a streaming device, the 11th Gen iPad has all the speed you need, with supercharged 5G and WiFi 6 connectivity delivering your favorite content to the brilliant 11-inch Liquid Retina screen that Apple is famous for.
Amazon is the place to find the 11th Gen iPad for just $299 after a $50 markdown. It's the first time this iPad has gone under the $300 mark, and it makes the 11th Gen iPad one of the best tablet buys on the market.

INVESTOR NOTICE: Apple Inc. (AAPL) Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) securities between June 10, 2024 and June 9, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'), have until August 19, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit. Captioned Tucker v. Apple Inc., No. 25-cv-05197 (N.D. Cal.), the Apple class action lawsuit charges Apple and certain of Apple's top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected]. CASE ALLEGATIONS: The Apple class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Apple misstated the time it would take to integrate the advanced artificial intelligence ('AI')-based Siri features into its devices; (ii) accordingly, it was highly unlikely that these features would be available for the iPhone 16; (iii) the lack of such advanced AI-based features would hurt iPhone 16 sales; and (iv) as a result, Apple's business and/or financial prospects were overstated. The Apple class action lawsuit further alleges that on March 7, 2025, Apple announced it was indefinitely delaying promised updates to its Siri digital assistant. The Apple class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of Apple stock fell. Then, on March 12, 2025, the Apple class action lawsuit further alleges that Morgan Stanley published a report in which analyst Erik Woodring lowered his price target on Apple from $275 to $252, asserting that the delay in introducing advanced Siri features would impact iPhone upgrade cycles throughout 2025 and 2026, and presenting evidence that roughly 50% of iPhone owners who did not upgrade to the iPhone 16 attributed their decision to such delays. On this news, the price of Apple stock fell further, according to the complaint. Thereafter, the Apple class action lawsuit alleges that on April 3, 2025, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled 'Apple and Amazon Promised Us Revolutionary AI. We're Still Waiting,' which stated, in relevant part, that '[w]ith 'more personal' Siri . . . , the tech giant[] marketed features [it] ha[s] yet to deliver,' and suggested that while 'this is challenging technology and the cost of getting it wrong is devastatingly high, especially for [a] compan[y] like Apple . . . that must build trust with customers,' 'the same responsibility applies to marketing: They shouldn't announce products until they're sure they can deliver them.' On this news, the price of Apple stock fell more than 7%, according to the complaint. Finally, on June 9, 2025, Apple hosted its Worldwide Developer Conference ('WWDC'), almost one year to the day after first announcing the suite of supposedly forthcoming Apple Intelligence features at the 2024 WWDC, and Apple failed to announce any new updates regarding advanced Siri features, according to the complaint. On this news, the price of Apple stock fell further, according to the complaint. Last year, Robbins Geller secured a $490 million recovery in a securities fraud class action case alleging Apple CEO Timothy Cook made false and misleading statements to investors – the third-largest securities class action recovery ever in the Northern District of California and the fifth-largest such recovery ever in the Ninth Circuit. In the order granting final approval of the settlement, the court recognized the 'skill and strategic vision, as well as the risk taken by [Robbins Geller]' in securing the sizeable recovery while efficiently managing the 'uniquely complex' aspects of the case against 'highly sophisticated and experienced counsel and defendants.' Learn more by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Apple securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Apple class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Apple class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Apple class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit.

Apple sued by shareholders over delayed Siri AI rollout, $900 billion in value lost
Apple AAPL.O was sued on Friday by shareholders in a proposed securities fraud class action that accused it of downplaying how long it needed to integrate advanced artificial intelligence into its Siri voice assistant, hurting iPhone sales and its stock price. The complaint covers shareholders who suffered potentially hundreds of billions of dollars of losses in the year ending June 9, when Apple introduced several features and aesthetic improvements for its products but kept AI changes modest. Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment. CEO Tim Cook, Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh and former CFO Luca Maestri are also defendants in the lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court. Artificial intelligence: Will AI replace Google on your iPhone? Apple thinks so. Here's why. Shareholders led by Eric Tucker said that at its June 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple led them to believe AI would be a key driver of iPhone 16 devices, when it launched Apple Intelligence to make Siri more powerful and user-friendly. But they said the Cupertino, California-based company lacked a functional prototype of AI-based Siri features, and could not reasonably believe the features would ever be ready for iPhone 16s. Shareholders said the truth began to emerge on March 7 when Apple delayed some Siri upgrades to 2026, and continued through this year's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9 when Apple's assessment of its AI progress disappointed analysts. Apple shares have lost nearly one-fourth of their value since their December 26, 2024 record high, wiping out approximately $900 billion of market value. The case is Tucker v. Apple Inc et al, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 25-05197. Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Mark Porter and Rod Nickel
