Deals on Apple’s iPad are more common than you might think. Whether you’re after the most 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. Sometimes, there just isn’t a deal happening. In that case, we’ve mentioned how much the most recent sale price was for, so you know when to take the plunge. But most of the time, there’s some sort of deal going on, be it on a new or refurbished model. When there is a deal we think is worth telling you about, you’ll find it mentioned with any and all context you need to hear.
If you need a little help figuring out exactly which iPad is best for you, we’ve got you covered with a comparison post featuring all of the latest models here.
This is Apple’s most affordable iPad, usually costing $330 for the tablet 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. Since this new 2020 revision was just released, it hasn’t many price drops. It’s possible that someday we’ll see it selling for up to $80 or $100 off its usual price, like the previous generation.
However, the latest deal on this model isn’t too shabby. You can save $30 off the 32GB Gold version at Amazon, dropping the price to $300. You can also get the the 32GB model at Walmart, but only the gold and silver colors receive a price reduction.
If you want more storage, Walmart has the 128GB in Silver for $34 off, marking down the price to $395.
Apple released a new iPad mini in early 2019, carrying forth the same 7.9-inch display and design from previous iterations with refreshed internal specs within. It has the A12 Bionic processor found in the iPhone XS. Apple makes a 64GB and 256GB model of the iPad mini with Wi-Fi support, set at $400 and $500, respectively. If you want LTE connectivity, the starting price is $530.
Sales on this model are a little rarer, but we’re seeing some deals right now that knock about $50 off the final cost of the 64GB version.
If you need more storage, the 256GB model is available in all colors for $490 on Amazon. The same price is also available at Walmart, but only if you buy this model in gold.
