Tablets have become a handy part of the day-to-day, adding a lot of benefits compared with a phone, like a bigger screen and more versatility. If you already have an iPhone and you’re in the Apple ecosystem, then your best choice for a slate is probably going to be an iPad, which can, unfortunately, get a bit pricey. Luckily, there are some great deals out there, from the budget-friendly yet powerful iPad Air to the iPad Mini to the entry-level 10th-gen iPad.
Ultimately, it depends on how you want to integrate a tablet into your Apple setup. While these tablets are top-rated, they can also cost top dollar, which is why we’re tracking the best deals available right now.
Regardless of which iPad you want, we’ve found a number of deals. For example, if you go a generation back, the ninth-gen iPad can be had for as little as $249, whereas the latest, 10th-gen iPad is on sale for $100 off. If you want the latest iPad Air, then you’ll be happy to know there’s a $99 discount, bringing it down to $500, and the 128GB iPad Pro M2 has a $50 discount on all storage sizes.
There’s a deal for everybody, so check out the sales below.

The basic 10.2-inch iPad from 2021 is still good. While it doesn’t have the newer design and USB-C support of the rest of the iPad line, the value for performance here makes this iPad deal one worth getting for kids. It’s our top-budget iPad pick. Even at its full price, it’s affordable, but you can nab one for less right now at Amazon if you get the 64GB model. You’ll find it at $249, an $80 savings. If you want the same model with two years of Apple Care, you can get it for $318, also an $80 savings.

Apple’s newest iPad has a faster processor, a better landscape-centered camera for video chats, a larger screen and USB-C charging. However, you need a weird dongle to charge the Apple Pencil (and it lacks Pencil 2 support). The 64GB model lists for $449, and the 256GB model costs $599 at Apple.

The iPad Mini received a complete overhaul last year. The new design has rounded edges, thin bezels and no home button. The power button on the side now has Touch ID, and the Lightning port has been replaced by a USB-C charging port. This sixth-gen Mini runs on the A15 Bionic chip (same as the iPhone 13) and serves up an improved and slightly larger 8.3-inch display and better cameras than the older, fifth-gen Mini. You can save $99 on the 64GB model. As for the 256GB model, it has a $99 discount that brings it down to $550.

The 10.9-inch iPad Air, released last year, has a fast M1 chip, an auto-zooming Center Stage front camera and, except for its display, it feels nearly like an iPad Pro. It’s our favorite midrange iPad model if the Pro seems too expensive. You can save $40 on the 64GB model.
