These are the best iPad deals to shop right now, starting from $299
Earlier this spring, Apple refreshed its lineup of iPads with new tablets at the affordable end of its lineup. Those new M3 models, as well as the flagship M4 series iPad Pros, are now all on sale at Amazon. Whether you're searching for a true laptop replacement or just want a compact tablet, I found the best tech deals you can shop right now.
Apple iPad 11th Gen (2025)
The new version of our pick for the best iPad, Apple's latest iteration, is all about what's on the inside, with twice as much storage in its entry-level model as before. Now, it's $50 off for the very first time with this new all-time low deal.
Apple 11-Inch iPad Air M3
If you need a larger screen than the base model, Apple's new iPad Air M3 is going on sale for one of the first times. In our review, we found that it packs enough power for smooth sketching, video editing and console-like gaming, all for hundreds of dollars less than the iPad Pro. Those sentiments earn it a spot on our guide to the best tablets. Read our review
Apple 13-Inch iPad Air M3
Step up to a 13-inch display, and save $100 with the largest iPad Air. This tablet packs the same performance as its smaller counterparts, just with an even larger display to take full advantage of the M3 chip.
Apple 11-Inch iPad Pro M4
Amazon is also taking $99 off the most powerful iPad in Apple's collection. It has an 11-inch display that's even better for enjoying movies than its Air counterpart and is at the second-best price of the year. Not sure if this one is right for you? We recently tested iPad Air vs. iPad Pro to see which was a better buy.Read our review
Apple 13-Inch iPad Pro M4
The larger M4 iPad Pro is also on sale for over $100 off at Amazon with this spring deal. This is the second-best offer of the year and is one of the first discounts I have tracked in 2025. Read our review It's rare to see so many deals with this much variety across Apple's lineup. If you're shopping for an iPad, five of Apple's latest releases are on sale. Even better than just having five different models are the five price points. So, most budgets will be able to take advantage of the savings. Just pick the price that works best for you, and know you'll be benefiting from some of Apple's newest chips and best screens.

Apple iPhone Shipment Could Decline In 2025 As Tariff, Competition Play Spoil Sport: IDC
International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker expects global smartphone shipments to grow 0.6% year over year to 1.24 billion in 2025. IDC cut the forecast from 2.3% growth in February due to high uncertainty, tariff volatility, and macroeconomic challenges leading to a slowdown in consumer spending. Growth will remain in the low single digits throughout the forecast period, with a five-year (2024-2029) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4% due to increasing smartphone penetration, lengthening refresh cycles, and cannibalization from used smartphones, as per IDC.

Despite the increased tensions, the U.S. and China are driving the 0.6% growth this year, according to the report. China is forecast to grow by 3% Y/Y, driven by government subsidies. In contrast, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) is forecast to decline 1.9% in 2025 due to ongoing competition from Huawei, the overall economic slowdown, and the lack of subsidies for most of its models. However, heavy discounts during the upcoming 618 shopping festival and the anticipated iPhone 17 launch with significant hardware upgrades are expected to boost demand and limit further decline, the report stated. According to Anthony Scarsella of IDC, the U.S. Market is forecast to grow 1.9% in 2025, down from 3.3% in 2017, due to increased uncertainty and tariff-related price increases. Recent signals from the U.S. administration regarding potential tariff hikes on smartphones manufactured outside the U.S. further complicate long-term strategic planning for OEMs, according to Nabila Popal of IDC. However, India and Vietnam will likely remain the key alternatives to China for smartphone production. Still, additional tariffs of 20% to 30% on U.S.-bound smartphones could pose a serious downside risk to the current U.S. market outlook.

Why Wall Street downgrades of Apple stock are about to pile up
Shares of Apple AAPL — already down 20% since the beginning of the year — are likely to fall even further in coming months. That prediction is based on the behavior of Wall Street analysts, who tend to react slowly to developments. Seven of the almost 50 analysts who regularly follow Apple's stock have downgraded it this year. That leaves a large group of analysts who potentially could join this group of seven, and whose downgrades could cause Apple's stock to fall even further. 'You never know what might happen': How do I make sure my son-in-law doesn't get his hands on my daughter's inheritance? Five emerging pillars of stock-market support that should keep investors from rushing the exits My ex-wife said she should have been compensated for working part time during our marriage. Do I owe her? My daughter's boyfriend, a guest in my home, offered to powerwash part of my house — then demanded money S&P 500 scores best May since 1990, but stocks end month with fresh tariff worries Analysts' sluggishness in responding to new information is tied to their career and compensation incentives. It's risky for them to deviate too far from the Wall Street consensus. If they're wrong, their reputation will suffer and they possibly could lose their job. As such, they are inclined to keep their earnings estimates and buy-hold-sell ratings in the middle of the pack. This herd instinct was famously described by the late British economist John Maynard Keynes as 'worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally.' This theory of analyst behavior leads to a number of empirical predictions that have been borne out by research. One, as confirmed by this study, is that a downgrade of a given stock is more likely to be followed by another downgrade rather than an upgrade — and vice versa. This phenomenon is illustrated by the chart above, which plots the number of downgrades and upgrades of Apple stock over the trailing six months. Notice the preponderance of downgrades (the red columns) over the past few months. Another consequence of analyst sluggishness is that the stock market reacts more quickly than analysts to developments that affect a company's prospects. One study, for example, found that the analyst consensus on a given stock reflects just two-thirds of the information that the market itself has already taken into account. You might conclude from this result that equity analyst upgrades and downgrades should simply be ignored, since there would be no role for them to play if the stock market has already discounted all relevant new information. But the stock market isn't that perfect. Researchers have found that as analysts finally take into account the information the market has already incorporated, prices move even more. This is why it's a good bet there will be more downgrades of Apple stock in the coming months — and why shareholders will suffer even more than they have already.
