We've gathered all of the best iPad deals right here so you can pay the lowest price for a brand-new slate. Apple's popular devices carry a hefty price tag but they are some of the best tablets you can buy. We've searched for you and shared the best ones here.
You can find even more of the lowest prices for the standard iPad tablet, the premium and creative-focused iPad Pro, the portable iPad mini and the versatile iPad Air below. Now that the newest iPad Pro 2024 and iPad Air 6 have been available for some time I've the first discounts on these new models. There's also the new iPad mini A17 Pro that's just launched, which has led to even bigger price cuts on last-generation devices, meaning it's a great time to score a bargain.
And if previous record-low prices aren't available now then it might be worth waiting as this year's Black Friday deals will be here from next month and that when I expect the best offers will be made available.
Do also check out the latest Apple promo codes or Best Buy discount codes in case there are ways to save even more money on your next tablet when buying from either store - even more so if you can get access to the Apple student discount for further reductions.

Which iPad should I buy?
If you're looking for a cheap iPad, the 10.2-inch flagship model from 2021 is likely your best bet. This everyday tablet comes with super-fast tech under the hood, compatibility with a range of accessories to enhance the experience for work or play, as well as a competitive price tag. The newer 10.9-inch model is an option, too, but it is more expensive, so we suggest getting the cheaper model while you can.
However, if you're going to be using your tablet for anything other than light everyday browsing, streaming and the odd game you might want to scale up to the iPad Air. That has the extra power to play a few more games or run a couple of Adobe programs. The deals we've seen on this iPad model are also a little more stable, with most retailers offering permanent discounts on the recommended price.
For those that go heavy on creativity, gaming, media editing or more multi-tasking-oriented workflows, you'll want to put up the cash for the iPad Pro. The 2022 model is extremely powerful, but just know that it is very rarely reduced outside of limited-time sales events. We'll bring you deals when we find them, just don't expect big price cuts all the time.
Of course, you shouldn't neglect the iPad mini, too. The latest 2021 model has a spec that rivals the Air but in a much smaller form factor. For those who want a more compact and portable device that doesn't significantly compromise on performance, that's the one to look out for in the sales.
