The best iPad deals you can get right now
While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday and Prime Day, many great iPad deals are available outside of those times. The day-to-day discounts come and go like changing winds, so there's often some amount to be saved, particularly on Apple's most affordable iPad. The most recent iPad Pro and iPad Mini are also regularly discounted, as is the latest iPad Air.

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 listed the best deals you can get on each iPad model that is available, from the 11th-gen entry-level iPad to the more powerful models with M3 and M4 chips, all of which are set to receive Apple's iPadOS 26 update when it arrives in the fall.
The best iPad (2025) deals
Apple iPad (11th-gen)
Where to Buy: $349 $299 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $349 $299 at Walmart (128GB, Wi-Fi) $449 $399 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi)
Apple's 11th-gen iPad landed on the scene in March 2025. The newest base model tablet is a fairly iterative update of the prior model, but with 128GB of base storage (as opposed to 64GB) and the A16 Bionic chip, which is nearly 30 percent faster than the A14 chip used in the 10th-gen iPad. That being said, 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 new 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. We haven't seen significant price drops yet, although the entry-level model is currently on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Target starting at $299 ($50 off). Alternatively, you can purchase the 256GB model at Amazon, Walmart, and Target starting at $399 ($50 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon and Walmart starting at $595 ($54 off).
The best iPad Mini (2024) deals
Apple iPad Mini (2024)
Where to Buy: $499 $474 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $599 $589 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $799 $699 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)
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.
Right now, the 128GB base model with Wi-Fi is on sale at Amazon starting at $474 ($25 off). We saw the price drop to $379 for this model over Prime Day, highlighting just how much you can save during big events. You can also pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon for $589 ($10 off), or the 512GB model at Amazon for $699 ($100 off).
The best iPad Air (2025) deals
11-inch iPad Air M3
Where to Buy: $599 $549 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $699 $638.41 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $899 $818.25 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)13-inch iPad Air M3
Where to Buy: $799 $730 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $899 $820 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $1099 $999 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)
The 2025 iPad Air is little more than a spec bump over the previous model, with a few technical upgrades that should allow it to last longer into the future than either the entry-level iPad or the last-gen Air. It features an M3 chip with support for Apple Intelligence, plus compatibility with Apple's latest Magic Keyboard that has a larger trackpad and an extra row of function keys. In short, the Air is a credible laptop replacement.
The 11-inch model starts at $599 and the 13-inch variant $799 — the same price as prior models — but it's common to see discounts from third-party retailers. Right now, for instance, the 11-inch Air is on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo in its base configuration with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at $549 ($50 off). You can also grab the 256GB model at Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo starting at $639 ($60 off), or the step-up 512GB model at Amazon starting at $818 ($81 off).
The larger 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale at Amazon and Walmart with 128GB of storage starting at $730 ($70 off). You can also pick up the Wi-Fi / 256GB model at Amazon and Walmart starting at $820 ($79 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon for $999 ($100 off).
The best iPad Pro (2024) deals
11-inch Apple iPad Pro (2024)
Where to Buy: $999 $899 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $1199 $1103 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi) $1599 $1457 at Amazon (1TB, Wi-Fi)13-inch iPad Pro M4
Where to Buy: $1299 $1185 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $1499 $1367 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi) $2299 $2099 at Amazon (2TB, Wi-Fi)
The 2024 iPad Pro is a far more impressive upgrade than the latest iPad Air. The 11- and 13-inch models start at $999 and $1,299, respectively, and they were the first Apple devices to feature the company's latest M4 chip, which brings moderate performance gains and dedicated hardware for on-device Apple Intelligence processing. The new Pro models can claim other firsts, too, such as being the first iPad models with OLED displays and the lightest Pros yet, which is true of both sizes. They also feature repositioned front-facing cameras that sit along the horizontal edge (also found in the 11th-gen iPad), which prevent you from looking as though you're staring off into space on a video call.
As for deals, the 11-inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi / 256GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $899.99 ($100 off). The sleek and super-thin 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale in its 256GB base configuration at Amazon starting at $1,185 ($114 off), or in its 512GB configuration at Amazon starting at $1,366 ($133 off). Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo also have the 2TB model for $2,099 ($200 off) if you're looking for the most storage possible to hold your apps, photos, and videos.
Update, July 16th: Updated to reflect current pricing / availability, and mentioned that the 10th-gen iPad is no longer readily available to purchase. Brandon Russell also contributed to this post.

NIQ valued at $6.1 billion as shares dip in NYSE debut
(Reuters) -NIQ Global's shares fell 3.6% in their NYSE debut on Wednesday, giving the Advent-backed consumer insights company a valuation of $6.1 billion. The lukewarm reception marks a setback in an otherwise strong run for IPOs as solid equity markets and upbeat debuts had encouraged investors to look past tariff-related volatility. NIQ's stock opened at $20.25 per share, compared with the IPO price of $21 per share.

Why Shares of Kohl's Are Sinking Today
Key Points Kohl's has become a meme stock. Investors recently noticed the stock had close to 50% short interest. The company has struggled as of late. 10 stocks we like better than Kohl's › After rocketing nearly 38% higher yesterday, shares of Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) traded close to 16% lower, as of 12:12 a.m. ET today. Shares bobbed and weaved in violent trading sessions sparked by interest from retail investors, who view Kohl's as a meme stock. Meme mania is back With the market at all-time highs, investors are back in on meme stocks and appear to have targeted several names with high short interest that seem ripe for a short squeeze. Other stocks that have become meme stocks include Opendoor, Krispy Kreme, and GoPro. Kohl's had one of the highest percentages of its public float shorted at close to 50%, making it the ideal candidate for meme investors to identify. Kohl's was the topic of several threads on the popular sub-Reddit WallStreetBets on Tuesday. Kohl's has struggled as competition from e-commerce and other discount retailers has cut into the company's business. Recently, analysts at Goldman Sachs raised their price target from $5 per share to $7 on "reacceleration in top-line growth and cleaner inventories." But the stock has soared past that level, due to the meme rally. Of the 12 Wall Street analysts that have issued research reports on the stock over the last three months, five had a hold rating on the company, while seven say sell, according to TipRanks. The average price target implies about 43% downside, as of this writing. Buckle up As mentioned, Kohl's no longer trades on any kind of fundamentals and now is being propelled by social media-driven exuberance. There's no predicting where the stock will go or in which direction, so investors should avoid the name. But if you do invest, only invest what you can afford to lose. Should you invest $1,000 in Kohl's right now?

The meme stock rally continues the Trump trade rebound that has stocks trading at record highs
Meme stocks are running wild again. Some of the latest highfliers — Krispy Kreme (DNUT), Opendoor (OPEN), and Kohl's (KSS) — all have one key thing in common: They are heavily shorted stocks. This means investors have been betting the next price move for these names will be lower, and some strategists suggest that this week's meme surge is merely the latest pillar of a consistent theme during the S&P 500's 25% rally over the last three months. "A lot of what has outperformed significantly [since the market bottom], obviously the memes, but the heavily shorted stocks of every variety," Charles Schwab chief investment strategist Liz Ann Sonders told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday. "So I think there may be that also added attempt on the part of the retail trader to press those shorts and force a repositioning on the part of speculators and institutions." Short sellers have lost just shy of $355 billion since the market bottom on April 8, according to data from S3 Partners. That includes more than $100 billion in losses since Yahoo Finance last published S3's data on May 22. Since President Trump first reversed his starkest tariff stance on April 9, betting against the roaring stock market rally has been a losing strategy. And the market's V-shape recovery has been more than a simple "Trump Always Chickens Out" (TACO) trade. Between April 8 and May 20, short sellers lost more than $35 billion betting against the "Magnificent Seven" tech cohort, which has once again been a key driver of the market's chug higher. "The market was caught short at a time when there was no actual fundamental information available," BNP Paribas head of debt and equity strategy Viktor Hjort told Yahoo Finance. As Trend Labs founder JC Parets wrote in a research note on Wednesday, the stock market's rise is largely about investor "mispositioning." Parets cited a Wall Street Journal poll of economists from April 12, which showed nearly half expected a recession in the next 12 months. "These economists had everyone convinced a recession was coming," Parets wrote. So far, that downturn has not come to pass, but investors continue to be caught short as the fundamental story for stocks and the economy has proven to be largely better than feared. This has driven a risk-on rally that's featured a race to find where trades are most out of place. After falling almost 30% to start the year, Cathie Wood's Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) is up nearly 90% from the April bottom. Wood's flagship fund's top 10 holdings include names like Tesla (TSLA), Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), and Palantir (PLTR). Short sellers in each of those stocks have lost at least $2 billion or more since the April market low, according to S3 Partners data. Bespoke Investment Group highlighted this trend in a research report on Tuesday night detailing "reminiscences of 2021," when the meme stock frenzy first took center stage. Bespoke found that the 100 most shorted stocks in the Russell 1000 index (^RUI) have outperformed the index itself by over 30 percentage points in the past three months. The index of the 100 most shorted stocks is up over 52% in that time period. "Expect continued short side losses as the economy grows, despite increased tariffs, and interest rates finally decline later this year," S3 Partners managing director Ihor Dusaniwsky told Yahoo Finance. "We usually hear caveat emptor — "let the buyer beware." But in this market, caveat venditor — "let the seller beware" — is much more appropriate." Josh Schafer is a reporter for Yahoo Finance.
