Here are the best iPad deals right now

Deals on Apple’s iPad are more common than you might think. Whether you’re after the affordable iPad, the high-end iPad Pro, or something in between like the iPad Air or iPad Mini, there’s usually some sort of price cut happening somewhere. Of course, it’s difficult to know exactly where you can find those deals unless you’re looking around at all of the major retailers. But that’s what we’re doing each day when we hunt for deals, so let us help you out.

Below, we’ve listed each of the current iPads available for purchase. Most of the time, there’s some sort of discount happening on a new or refurbished model. When there is a deal we think worth telling you about, we’ll let you know, along with any info you need to keep it in context. If there isn’t a current deal, we’ll tell you how much the most recent sale price was for, so you’ll know when to take the plunge.

This is Apple’s most affordable iPad, usually costing $329 for the model with 32GB of storage or $429 for the 128GB model. Each has a 10.2-inch display and features the A12 Bionic processor, a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and a Smart Connector for connecting a Smart Keyboard.

Currently, you can purchase the base iPad with 32GB of storage for $299 at Walmart and Amazon. Both retailers also offer the 128GB configuration in multiple colors for $395 (Amazon, Walmart).

Apple released a new iPad mini in early 2019, equipped with the same 7.9-inch display and design as previous iterations, but with refreshed internal specs. It has the A12 Bionic processor found in the base iPad, along with Wi-Fi support. Apple sells 64GB and 256GB models of the iPad mini, with prices set at $400 and $500 respectively. If you want LTE connectivity, the starting price is $530.

Sales on the basic Wi-Fi model are rare, but if you want to buy the 64GB iPad mini right now, it is available for its usual $384 price on Amazon, if you buy it in space gray or silver. There is also a sale on the 256GB, which is available for $490 in rose gold and space gray.

Walmart, however, offers an even steeper discount; the 64GB iPad mini is currently available for $369 in either space gray or silver.

The 2020 iPad Air has a slightly larger 10.9-inch display compared to the prior model’s 10.5-inch screen and features thinner bezels around it. It has relocated the Touch ID fingerprint sensor to the power button, located on the top of the device.

Like its predecessor, the fourth-gen iPad Air model comes in 64GB or 256GB storage configurations. The Wi-Fi models start at $599 and $749, respectively, making the starting price slightly more than last year’s models. The model that supports LTE starts at $729.

The best deal you can currently get on the iPad Air fourth-gen is at Micro Center. The retailer has the most competitive sale price right now at $540, where you can grab a 64GB model in all five colors (green, gold, silver, sky blue, and space gray).

Amazon, B&H Photo, and Walmart currently have the fourth-gen iPad Air 64GB model with Wi-Fi in all colors for $559.

The 256GB configuration has been discounted in every color minus space gray at Amazon for $670, which is nearly $80 off its usual price of $749. Walmart is also having a sale on the iPad Air 256GB, offering it for as low as $699.

The fifth-gen, M1-equipped iPad Pro is currently available for preorder, which means there are plenty of deals to be had on the now-discontinued 2020 iteration of the iPad Pro. The fourth-gen iPad Pro looks a lot like the 2018 model, aside from its dual-lens rear camera array. Unlike the less expensive iPad models, the 2020 iPad Pro ditches the headphone jack and uses a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port. It also features a high refresh display and Face ID to help you unlock the tablet instead of relying on the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

The 11-inch, fourth-gen model with 128GB of storage starts at $800; bumping the screen size up to 12.9 inches raises the price to $1,000. Each model supports up to 1TB of storage, with the top-spec models going for $1,299 (11-inch) and $1,499 (12.9-inch).

If you are looking to pick up a fourth-gen, 11-inch model at a discounted price, Best Buy has the 128GB model on sale for $699. Amazon has the 256GB configuration on sale for $799 in space gray, as does Best Buy in both colors. The 512GB, space gray variant is on sale for $950 at Amazon, too, if you buy it in space gray, and Best Buy currently offers the 512GB model in both colors for $999.

Of course, if you have money to spend and want a ton of storage, you can buy the 11-inch, 1TB configuration in silver for only $1,199 at Amazon and Best Buy; that’s $100 off its usual retail price of $1,299.

If you want a slightly bigger screen, Amazon and Best Buy have the fourth-gen, 12.9-inch iPad Pro on sale starting at $899 for the base model, which includes 128GB of storage. If you need more storage, you can get the 256GB model for $999 at Amazon or Best Buy. The latter retailer is also offering $100 off both the 512GB and 1TB models.
