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. The best iPad (2025) dealsThe best iPad Mini (2024) dealsThe best iPad Air (2025) dealsThe best iPad Pro (2024) deals 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.
