While the best iPad deals often come around the time of major sales events like Black Friday, many iPad deals are available outside of those times. Daily discounts come and go like the winds, so there’s often some value to be saved, especially on Apple’s most affordable iPad, iPad Mini, and the latest iPad Air. Hello, you can get many discounts on the latest M5 iPad Pro, which is already on sale in many stores. If you don’t need the latest technology, however, now might be a good time to save up for the M4 Pro as inventory is dwindling.
All that being said, it’s hard to know where to find the most remarkable iPad deals unless you check the big retailers every day. But usually that’s what our bargain hunters are The Verge you do, so let us help you. Below, we’ve listed the best deals you can find on each iPad model available, from the base 11th-gen iPad to the most powerful models with M3, M4, and M5 chips.
Apple’s 11th-gen iPad arrived on the scene in March 2025. The new base model tablet is a repeatable update of the previous model, but with 128GB of base storage (as opposed to 64GB) and an A16 Bionic chip, which is about 30 percent faster than the A14 chip used in the 10th-gen iPad. However, the new chip does not support the various Apple Intelligence features introduced in iPadOS 18.1 and subsequent updates. For that, you’ll want to choose the latest model of the iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro.
In terms of price, the latest 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 buy the LTE model starting at $499. We saw a significant price drop to $279 during Black Friday; But right now, it’s available at Amazon and Target starting at $299.99, a savings of $50. Alternatively, if you need more storage, you might want the 256GB model at Amazon starting at $399.99 ($50 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon starting at $599.99 ($50 off).
I seventh generation iPad Mini it’s similar in many ways to the previous model, but comes with major interior improvements. It includes fast Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds, Apple Pencil Pro support, and the new A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence. Otherwise, it boasts almost the same specs and features as the last generation model, meaning it has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and 5G options. It may not be worth the upgrade if you already own a sixth-generation Mini, but newcomers to the segment will appreciate the upgrade.
The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 for 128GB of storage, which was the price of the previous generation’s 64GB model. Opting for 256GB of storage brings the price up to $599, and mobile models start at $649. These are some big numbers for a small iPad, so the larger iPad Air may be worth considering if you prefer your dollar to go further in screen real estate. But if you’re looking for an Apple tablet in the smallest form factor, this is where the action is.
Right now, the base 128GB model with Wi-Fi is on sale at Amazon starting at $399.99 ($50 off), which is $50 shy of the rare $349 price tag. If you need more storage, you can pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon for $569 ($30 off), which is about $90 off the lowest price we’ve seen in the upgrade configuration.
I 2025 iPad Air it’s little more than a spec bump from the previous model, with a few tech upgrades that should allow it to last longer into the future than an entry-level iPad or last-gen Air. It features an M3 chip supported by Apple Intelligence, as well as compatibility with Apple’s latest Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad and an additional row of function keys. In short, the Air is a reliable laptop replacement.
The 11-inch model starts at $599 and the 13-inch variant at $799 — the same price as previous models — but it’s common to see discounts from third-party sellers. Right now, for example, the 11-inch Air is on sale on Amazon in its basic configuration with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at $489.99 ($110 off). If you need more storage, you can get the 256GB model at Amazon starting at $589 ($110 off), or the 512GB expansion model at Amazon for $779 ($120 off). All models are currently $30 more than their lowest cost.
The larger 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale on Amazon with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at $679 ($120 off), which is $30 shy of its best price so far. You can find the 256GB model at Amazon starting at $779.99 ($120 off), or the step-up 512GB model at Amazon for $979 ($120 off).
While there are some deals surrounding the M4 iPad Pro, we would argue that none of them are particularly noteworthy given the current discounts on the 2025 iPad Pro. Apple’s latest flagship tablet offers several upgrades over the last-generation model, including a faster M5 chip, a new C1X cellular modem (if you get the cellular version), and an N1 chip that handles Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread. Apple has also increased the speed of reading and writing to its memory, and the latest Pro supports fast charging, which allows you to charge it up to 50 percent capacity in about 30 minutes.
Although the tablet was launched in October, we are already seeing a price drop at several retailers. The base 11-inch model with 256GB of storage is currently down to $899.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, for example, while the model with Wi-Fi and 512GB of storage is on sale at Amazon for $1,099 ($100 off). You can snap up the configuration with Wi-Fi and 1TB of storage for $1,499 ($100 off) at Amazon.
If you want a bigger display, you can get the 13-inch iPad Pro in its base 256GB configuration for $1,149.99 ($150 off) at Amazon, which is the second best price we’ve seen. The step-up model with Wi-Fi and 512GB of storage is down to $1,349 (also a $150 discount) at Amazon, while the 1TB model can be had at Amazon for $1,749.99 (about a $150 discount), about $11 more than its lowest price so far.
