Why You Can Trust CNET Best iPad Deals: Save Big on iPad Air, iPad Pro and More
Apple's iPads are among the best tablets on the market today, but they aren't always the cheapest. These deals help close the gap, though.
Apple makes some of the best tablets around and if you're already in the Apple ecosystem, then it makes a lot of sense to go for one rather than something from Samsung or another manufacturer. But Apple devices aren't cheap, so if you've been holding back from buying an iPad because of the prices, some of these deals can help you out. Right now there are some small discounts on the iPad Pro and there are a couple of good ones on the iPad Air, iPad Mini as well as the more entry-level 10th-gen iPad.
We've found all the best deals available right now, and we'll also be updating this list constantly to make sure that the most recent prices are shown. Be sure to check back later if you don't see the price that's right for you today.

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 an odd 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 The power button on the side now has Touch ID, and the Lightning port has been replaced by a USB-C charging port.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 $30 discount that brings it down to $469.
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 $149 on the 64GB model.
Apple's 11-inch iPad Pro is powered by the M2 chip and has a gorgeous Retina display. Right now B&H will sell you the base model with 128GB of storage for just $749. Note that this price only applies to the Space Gray color, however.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the biggest iPad that Apple sells right now, and if you place your order at B&H Photo you can save $50 on the base model with 128GB of storage in your choice of color.
