IPad deals and Apple sales are back with a vengeance this week thanks to some truly excellent boredom busting offers in the UK and US from B&H and Currys. Right now you can now grab some 2018 256GB iPad Pros for just $799 (was $949) and £769 (was £940) - with total savings of up to $150 / £80.

We think the 2018 iPad Pro is still currently one of the best tablets you can buy right now, and with a $150 / £80 saving on this 256GB capacity model, it's an even better buy. For some context, these iPad Pro deals are around the same price as a 128GB 2020 iPad Pro - with really similar high-end components and of course, double the storage capacity. That makes it a great option if you're stocking up on all those high definition movies and shows and need a little more real estate overall.

The second iPad deal is perfect if you're looking for something a little cheaper than the iPad Pro but still want that gorgeous retina display. With a $20 saving, this iPad 10.2 is sure to go fast this week (the Space Gray model has sold out already) so act quickly if you want to grab an iPad in this latest Apple sale.

Not in the US? We've still got some great iPad deals for you just below.

Here's a truly great deal on one of the hottest iPad sales we've seen this week. Saving £80 in total, this 256GB capacity 2018 iPad Pro comes in at around the same price as a current 64GB iPad Pro on Amazon - that's a lot more capacity for the money. Amazon has already sold out on their 2018 models, so this one's sure to go fast.

If you can do without the extra space there's also a great deal on the 64 GB capacity iPad Pro over at Currys this week. While it's not quite as good a deal as the one above (£50 off versus £80), it is overall a little cheaper, which lessens that initial upfront expenditure. Minus the smaller drive space, all the components are the same here, so you're still getting a blazing fast tablet.

Not only will you get some freebies, but you'll also be getting some a 2-year guarantee from one of the UK's most trusted retailers.  If you want to save a few pennies and skip the Apple TV - you can also pick a 64GB iPad Mini up at Ebuyer for £389.

iPad deals: Which iPad is right for you?

If you're undecided about which of these iPad deals is for you, then we'll quickly breakdown the best uses for each one. The iPad Pro is the most powerful of the three, featuring a much bigger storage capacity and a bit more horsepower under the hood. All this lends itself more to the power user - someone who needs a multi-tasking tablet for work or design programs for example. 

The standard iPad, while still featuring a nice, speedy chip, has lower capacity and is generally geared for more casual use. If you're looking for that cheap tablet for streaming entertainment, games or browsing, then there's generally no need to splash out on an iPad Pro - this one will handle everything just fine.
