While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday and Prime Day, many great iPad deals are attainable outside of those times. The day-to-day discounts may come and go like changing winds, but there’s often some amount to be saved, particularly on Apple’s most affordable iPad. The most recent iPad Pro and iPad Mini are also regularly discounted, as is the latest iPad Air.

It’s difficult to know where exactly you can find the most notable iPad deals unless you’re scouring the major retailers on a daily basis. But that’s often what our deal hunters at The Verge are doing each and every day, so let us help you out. Below, we’ve listed the best deals you can get on each iPad model that is available, from the 11th-gen entry-level iPad to the more powerful models with M3 and M4 chips, all of which are set to receive Apple’s recently announced iPadOS 16 update when it arrives in the fall.

The best iPad (2025) deals

Apple’s 11th-gen iPad only just recently landed on the scene. The new base-model tablet is a fairly iterative update of the prior model with 128GB of base storage (as opposed to 64GB) and an A16 Bionic chip, which is nearly 30 percent faster than the A14 chip found in the 10th-gen iPad. That being said, the newer chip doesn’t support the various Apple Intelligence features introduced in iPadOS 18.1 and subsequent updates. For that, you’ll want to opt for a more recent iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro model.

Pricing-wise, the new iPad starts at $349 with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage. You can also upgrade to 256GB or 512GB of storage for an additional $100 or $200, respectively, or purchase an LTE model starting at $499. We haven’t seen significant price drops yet, although the entry-level model is currently on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo starting at $299 ($50 off). Alternatively, you can purchase the 256GB model at Amazon or Walmart starting at $413 ($36 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon and Walmart starting at $597 ($52 off).

The best iPad Mini (2024) deals

The seventh-gen iPad Mini is similar to the outgoing model but comes with faster Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds, support for the Apple Pencil Pro, and a newer A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence. Otherwise, it boasts nearly identical specs and features as the last-gen model, meaning it has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, a USB-C port, and options for 5G. It may not be worth upgrading if you already own a sixth-gen Mini, but newcomers to the category will appreciate the upgrades.

The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 with 128GB of storage, which was the price for the previous generation’s 64GB model. Electing for 256GB of storage brings the price up to $599, and the cellular models start at $649. These are some big numbers for a small iPad, and the larger iPad Air might be worth considering if you prefer your dollar to go further with more screen real estate. But if you want an Apple tablet in the smallest possible form factor, this is where the action is.

Right now, the 128GB base model with Wi-Fi is on sale at Amazon starting at $474, a mere $15 discount. You can also pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon and B&H Photo for $549 ($50 off), or the 512GB model at Amazon for $679 ($120 off), the latter of which remains the best price we’ve seen on the largest storage configuration.

The best iPad Air (2025) deals

The 2025 iPad Air is little more than a spec bump over the previous model, with a few technical upgrades that should allow it to last longer than both the entry-level iPad and the last-gen Air. It features an M3 chip with support for Apple Intelligence and compatibility with Apple’s latest Magic Keyboard, which has a larger trackpad and an extra row of function keys that make the Air a more credible laptop replacement.

The 11-inch model starts at $599 and the 13-inch variant $799 — the same price as prior models — but we’re already starting to see discounts from third-party retailers. Right now, for instance, the 11-inch Air is on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo in its base configuration with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at $499 ($100 off). You can also grab the 256GB model at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $599 (also $100 off), or the step-up 512GB model at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $799 ($100 off).

The larger 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo with 128GB of storage starting at $699 ($100 off). You can also pick up the Wi-Fi / 256GB model at Walmart starting at $799 ($100 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon for $1,013 ($86 off).

The best iPad Pro (2024) deals

The 2024 iPad Pro is a far more impressive upgrade than the latest iPad Air. The 11- and 13-inch models start at $999 and $1,299, respectively, and they were the first Apple devices to feature the company’s latest M4 chip, which brings moderate performance gains and dedicated hardware for on-device Apple Intelligence processing. The new Pro models can claim other firsts, too, such as being the first iPad models with OLED displays and the lightest Pros yet, which is true of both sizes. They also feature repositioned front-facing cameras that sit along the horizontal edge, which prevent you from looking as though you’re staring off into space on a video call.

As for deals, the 11-inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi / 256GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $899.99 ($100 off). The sleek and super-thin 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale in its 256GB base configuration at B&H Photo starting at $1,179 ($100 off), or in its 512GB configuration at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $1,369 ($130 off). Amazon and B&H Photo also have the 2TB model for $2,099 ($200 off) if you’re looking for the most storage possible to hold your apps, photos, and videos.

Update, June 18th: Updated to reflect current pricing / availability and the fact that the 10th-gen iPad is no longer readily available. Brandon Russell also contributed to this post.
