11-inch iPad With A16 Chip Drops to $299 for Amazon Prime Day 2026

The 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip has dropped to about $299 for Amazon Prime Day 2026, down from its $349 list price. With Prime Day running through June 26, the entry-level iPad is roughly $50 off, which keeps Apple's most affordable tablet within reach for students, families, and anyone who wants a simple tablet for everyday use.

The Prime Day price
The 11-inch iPad sits near $299 on Amazon, about a 14% cut from the $349 regular price. That places the base model among the cheaper ways into Apple's tablet line during the sale, before the step up to the iPad Air or iPad Pro.

Display and design
The tablet uses an 11-inch Liquid Retina display that stays bright for reading, browsing, and video. The size works well on a desk or propped on a kitchen counter, and it remains light enough to hold for long stretches, whether you are following a recipe or catching up on a show in bed.

Performance and storage
Inside is the A16 chip, paired with 128GB of storage on the starting model, which is a jump up from the 64GB base of older entry iPads. That is enough headroom for apps, photos, and offline video, and the chip handles everyday tasks like email, notes, web browsing, and streaming without strain.

Cameras and connectivity
The iPad carries 12MP cameras on the front and back, useful for video calls and quick scans, along with Wi-Fi 6 and Touch ID for fast, secure sign-in. The front camera sits on the landscape edge, which suits video calls when the tablet is propped sideways.

One thing to weigh
This A16 iPad does not support Apple Intelligence, so shoppers who want the newest on-device AI features may look at a pricier model such as the iPad Air. For typical browsing, schoolwork, drawing, and media, the base iPad still covers the basics well and keeps the entry price low.

How long the deal lasts
Prime Day ends June 26, and entry-level iPads at a sale price tend to move quickly, so the most popular colors and storage tiers can run low before the event closes. Buyers who have been waiting for a price cut have a clear window over the final days.

Where to buy
The discount is listed for Prime members at Amazon during the event. Checking the price across a couple of retailers is worth a moment, since stock and shipping dates can vary by seller.
