(The arithmetic lands a cent shy of a clean $49, as retail math tends to.) The 256GB model is $499.99, also $49 off. Both come with free delivery estimated for late October, and Prime members should get same-day delivery in many locations. The 128GB model is on sale in all four colors, while the 256GB model is discounted in three.\n\nThis matches the lowest price tracked for the iPad since Apple raised prices over the summer, according to the deal roundup that flagged it. That roundup also said it earns a small payment from Amazon purchases made through its links, which is worth knowing when reading any deal post.\n\nThe discount works out to about 11% on the 128GB model. That is a modest cut, and the source does not say how much Apple's hikes added, so it is not possible to say how much of the increase this recovers. What can be said is that the price has been at this level before, so this is a match rather than a new low.\n\nThe discount only covers Wi-Fi models. Cellular versions are not part of it.\n\nFor buyers, the more useful comparison is between the two sale prices. Moving from 128GB to 256GB costs $100.00 at $399.99 versus $499.99, and since both get the same $49 off, the discount does not change that trade-off. The choice comes down to whether double the storage is worth $100.","[\"ipad\",\"apple\",\"amazon\",\"deals\"]","2026-10-22T14:05:33.000Z","2026-10-22T14:24:04.828Z","2026-11-08T00:18:05.131Z","published","Name MacRumors instead of 'the deal roundup that flagged it' and 'That roundup' (it is never identified); cut the parenthetical about the price landing 'a cent shy' of $49 and the 'the source does not say how much Apple's hikes added' commentary, since both narrate source discrepancies or gaps to the reader; and close on a plain conclusion grounded in the stated facts.",[24,30,34,38],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Name MacRumors where you write 'the tracking site' and 'the site pointing to this deal', which are unidentified sources; cut the speculation about the price 'floor' and a deeper cut; and fix the muddled closing line that says the storage gap 'costs the same in both pricing tiers', since the body never gives the 256GB list price.","open",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Name MacRumors explicitly instead of 'the outlet that flagged it' and 'the deal write-up'; remove the unsupported October 22 listing date (the source gives none), the unsourced claim that Apple rarely discounts its own hardware, and the 'source gives no sign' speculation about waiting for a better price, and end on a clean conclusion grounded in the stated facts.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"Name MacRumors instead of 'the Apple news site that published the deal' and 'the site' (it is still an unidentified source), cut the speculation that this is a 'post-hike floor' and 'a fair signal that the current price is the one to beat', and either drop or clearly show the arithmetic behind the 256GB list-price claim, then close on a plain conclusion grounded in the stated facts.",{"id":39,"reviewer":26,"round":40,"reason":22,"status":29},"editor-r4",4,null,"deals",[44,45,46,42],"ipad","apple","amazon",[48,51],{"name":49,"url":50},"MacRumors","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.macrumors.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F22\u002Famazon-49-off-ipad\u002F",{"name":52,"url":53},"Mashable","https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Foct-25-apple-ipad-11-inch-a16-amazon-deal",0,{"sections":56},[57,62,67,71,76,81,86,91,96,101,106,111,116,121],{"name":58,"slug":59,"count":60,"latest_published_at":61},"AI","ai",7110,"2026-11-08T14:34:09.000Z",{"name":63,"slug":64,"count":65,"latest_published_at":66},"Security","security",1099,"2026-11-08T15:24:01.000Z",{"name":68,"slug":42,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Deals",620,"2026-11-08T08:00:00.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Policy","policy",604,"2026-11-07T15:48:26.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",336,"2026-11-08T21:00:00.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":83,"count":84,"latest_published_at":85},"Hardware","hardware",316,"2026-11-08T14:36:39.000Z",{"name":87,"slug":88,"count":89,"latest_published_at":90},"Science","science",222,"2026-11-07T16:19:17.000Z",{"name":92,"slug":93,"count":94,"latest_published_at":95},"Software","software",154,"2026-11-08T15:42:52.000Z",{"name":97,"slug":98,"count":99,"latest_published_at":100},"Startups","startups",150,"2026-11-06T16:50:01.000Z",{"name":102,"slug":103,"count":104,"latest_published_at":105},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",125,"2026-11-06T22:15:59.000Z",{"name":107,"slug":108,"count":109,"latest_published_at":110},"General","general",111,"2026-11-08T21:27:29.000Z",{"name":112,"slug":113,"count":114,"latest_published_at":115},"Gaming","gaming",94,"2026-11-08T20:52:05.000Z",{"name":117,"slug":118,"count":119,"latest_published_at":120},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":122,"slug":123,"count":124,"latest_published_at":125},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
