While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday, many great iPad deals are available outside of those moments. The day-to-day discounts come and go like the changing winds, so there’s often some amount to be saved somewhere, particularly on Apple’s most affordable iPad and the latest iPad Mini. Hell, you can even often find discounts on the latest M5 iPad Pro, which is already on sale at multiple retailers.
All that being said, it’s difficult to know where exactly you can find the most notable iPad deals unless you’re scouring the major retailers on a daily basis. But that’s often what our deal hunters at The Verge are doing, so let us help you out. Below, we’ve rounded up the best prices on every current iPad model, from the 11th-gen base iPad to the more powerful models with the M3, M4, and M5 chips.
Apple’s 11th-gen iPad landed on the scene a year ago. The newest base-model tablet is a fairly iterative update of the prior model, but with 128GB of base storage (up from 64GB) and an A16 Bionic chip, which is nearly 30 percent faster than the A14 chip used in the 10th-gen iPad. However, the newer chip doesn’t support the various Apple Intelligence features introduced in iPadOS 18.1 and subsequent updates. For that, you’ll want to opt for a more recent iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro model.
Pricing-wise, 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 purchase an LTE model starting at $499. Right now it’s available at Amazon and for Costco members in select colors for $299.99 ($50 off), which is just $20 shy of its all-time low price. If you’d prefer more storage, you can buy the 256GB model at Amazon starting at $399.99 ($50 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon starting at $597 ($52 off).
The seventh-gen iPad Mini is similar in several ways to the previous model, but comes with some big internal upgrades. It includes faster Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds, support for the Apple Pencil Pro, and a newer A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence. Otherwise, it boasts nearly identical specs and features as the last-gen model, meaning it has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and options for 5G. It may not be worth upgrading if you already own a sixth-gen Mini, but newcomers to the category will appreciate the upgrades.
The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 with 128GB of storage, which was the price for the previous generation’s 64GB model. Electing for 256GB of storage brings the price up to $599, and the cellular models start at $649. These are some big numbers for a small iPad, so the larger iPad Air might be worth considering if you prefer your dollar to go further with more screen real estate. But if you want an Apple tablet in the smallest possible form factor, this is where the action is.
In the past we’ve seen the iPad Mini drop to as low as $349, but right now the 128GB base model with Wi-Fi at Amazon costs $474 ($25 off). If you need additional storage, you can pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon for $569 ($30 off), which is far from its $449 all-time low price.
Apple recently announced a new iPad Air powered by its M4 chip. Like its predecessor, it comes in two sizes — 11 inches and 13 inches — but Apple claims it’s now “up to 30 percent faster.” The new Airs also offer 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB, and feature Apple’s new N1 wireless chip, which adds support for Bluetooth 6, Wi-Fi 7, and Thread, meaning the tablet should be able to connect faster and more reliably to wireless networks, accessories, and smart home devices.
You can grab the 128GB Wi-Fi model at a discount from multiple retailers right now. Amazon has it for $556.50 ($42 off), which is its best price yet, while Best Buy and Walmart are both selling it for $559 ($40 off). If you need more storage, you can buy the step-up 256GB variant for $646.50 ($53 off) at Amazon and Walmart. If you want a larger display, the 13-inch model is also on sale for $746.50 ($53 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is its steepest discount yet.
While Apple no longer officially sells last year’s iPad Air, it is still available — and discounted — at various third-party retailers. Right now, the 11-inch model is on sale at Walmart and Target in its base configuration with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at around $499 ($100 off), while the 256GB model is available at Target for $599.99 ($100 off). However, since the M4 iPad Air currently only cost about $50 more, depending on which you buy, it may make more sense to opt for Apple’s newer model instead.
Although the 2025 iPad is a last-gen model powered by Apple’s older M3 chip with less RAM, it’s still snappy enough that it remains a relatively good purchase in 2026. It offers a few technical upgrades over the entry-level iPad, too, which should allow it to last longer. It features support for Apple Intelligence, plus compatibility with Apple’s latest Magic Keyboard, which has a larger trackpad and an extra row of function keys. In short, the M3 Air remains a credible laptop replacement.
The larger 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale at Walmart and Target with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at $699 ($120 off), which is $50 shy of its best price to date. For more storage, you can grab the 256GB model at Target starting at $799.99 ($100 off).
While there are some deals floating around for the M4 iPad Pro, we’d argue none of them are particularly noteworthy given the current discounts on the 2025 iPad Pro. Apple’s latest high-end tablet offers a few upgrades over the last-gen 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 also increased read and write speeds to its memory, and the latest Pro supports fast charging, allowing you to charge it to 50 percent capacity in about 30 minutes.
The 11-inch base model with 256GB of storage is currently down to $936.50 at Amazon, while the model with 512GB of storage is on sale for $1,099.99 ($100 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. You can snag the 1TB variant for $1,499 ($100 off) at Amazon.
If you want a larger display, you can get the 13-inch iPad Pro in its 256GB base configuration for $1,199 ($100 off) at Amazon. Meanwhile, the step-up model with Wi-Fi and 512GB of storage is down to about $1,399 (also $100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, while the 1TB model can be had at Amazon for $1,747 ($102 off).
