Apple iPad 10.2 (9th Gen) (64GB ) — $200 $329 39% off

Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is no M1 or M2, but it still offers 64-bit architecture and neural engine support for excellent performance. In other words, this 10.2-inch iPad is incredible value. It has a 10.2-inch Retina display, 64GB of storage, supports Touch ID and Apple Pencil (1st Gen), and it’s size, plus all-day battery life make it an excellent choice for anyone with an on-the-go lifestyle.

Apple iPad 10.9 (10th Gen) (64GB) — $299 $349 14% off

The 10.9-inch iPad remains one of the best iPads for someone on a budget.

The 10th Gen version is powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic chip, has a liquid Retina display, WiFi 6 for better connectivity, and works with Touch ID.

Apple iPad Mini (6th Gen) (64GB) — $350 $499 30% off

A “little powerhouse”, the Apple iPad Mini is ideal if you need a more portable iPad. It has a smaller 8.3-inch screen but that makes it the perfect middle ground between your phone and a laptop. Performance is pretty good from the A15 Bionic processor which is the same as the one on the iPhone 13. There’s support for the Apple Pencil too making it an ideal tablet for sketching out designs or taking notes. If you want a smaller tablet, this is perfect. Previous iPad Minis weren’t so great performance wise and had a smaller display, but the 6th generation model fixes that.

Apple iPad Air 13-inch M2 (256GB) — $799 $899 11% off

Offering incredible value, the iPad Air is a great option if you don’t want to splurge on the iPad Pro but you still want plenty of power. While the screen isn’t quite as good as the iPad Pro, everything else about it is high-end including its M2 processor. Thanks to plenty of accessory compatibility, it’s a good bet for when you need to be more productive, but is great for relaxing, too. All-day battery life keeps you going into the late hours without a charge.

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch M4 (256GB Wi-Fi)— $899, was $999

The Apple iPad Pro with the powerful M4 chip is the newest iPad on the market, which makes it a bit of a surprise to see it discounted already. This 256GB Wi-Fi model, however, can add some savings to its long list of reasons to buy. Others include the 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR display, which delivers extreme brightness and contrast and features advanced technologies like ProMotion, True Ton, and P3 wide color. This iPad will have all of the performance you’ll likely need, as it features the aforementioned M4 chip, a processor Apple is also putting in many of its laptops to come.

How we chose the best iPad deals

The Apple iPad is generally regarded as one of the most well known tablet lineups on the market. That recognizability translates into popularity, and with so many people intent on getting their hands on an iPad, significant iPad deals can be difficult to track down. So one of the main factors we’re looking for when we’re selecting the day’s best iPad deals is simply that: availability. If there’s an iPad model seeing a discount it’s likely to be one of the best iPad deals by default.

Several models are regulars among the best iPad deals. These include the Apple iPad (9th Gen), Apple iPad (10th Gen), and the Apple iPad Mini. These iPads have been around for awhile and are well known among entry level tablet shoppers. Apple has designed these tablets to reach a broad audience and this is reflected in both their regular pricing and the deals that are typically available.

And while it’s the more entry level iPads that are almost always guaranteed to see a discount, larger discounts can be found on higher end models. Several generations of the Apple iPad Air pretty regularly see discounts of $50 or more, and when you get into higher spec’d models you can even find savings in the hundreds of dollars. Every now and then you’ll find an iPad Pro model among our selections for the best iPad deals as well.

iPad deals and availability tend to bounce around from one retailer to another so be sure to check in here often for the day’s best iPad deals.
