The entry-level iPad is priced at $299, while the iPad Pro is available for $899. The 11th-generation iPad starts at $349, and the iPad Mini (2024) begins at $499. Notable features include improved storage and performance, with all models set to receive the iPadOS 26 update this fall. Discounts vary, with the iPad Mini recently dropping to $379 during Prime Day. If you know where to look, it’s surprisingly easy to save on an iPad — even outside of major sales events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. Here’s an insider tip: skip the Apple Store, where discounts are almost nonexistent. Instead, your best bet is to check third-party retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, which frequently offer deals on everything from the entry-level iPad to the powerhouse iPad Pro, making it possible to snag a bargain any time of the year. Apple’s tablet lineup now includes six different iPads, which makes tracking deals across each configuration a full-time job. Fortunately, that’s exactly what we’re here for. Below, you’ll find the best discounts on every current model. Want something for basic web browsing? The entry-level iPad is currently down to $299 ($50 off). Looking for more power to play games and edit videos? The iPad Pro with M4 chip is going for $899 ($100 off). No matter which one you choose, rest assured that every model below is set to receive iPadOS 26 in the fall, which is the most significant update the iPad has seen in 15 years. ## The best iPad (2025) deals ### iPad (2025) ### Where to Buy: - $349 $299 at **Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi)** - $449 $399 at **Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi)** - $649 $598.5 at **Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)** The **11th-generation iPad** remains the most affordable tablet in Apple’s lineup. While the newest model isn’t drastically different from its 10th-gen predecessor, it does offer a few key differences. One notable change is the increase to 128GB of base storage, up from 64GB. Additionally, the new model features Apple’s A16 Bionic chip, providing better overall performance when browsing the web, opening apps, and watching videos. That being said, the base iPad still doesn’t support Apple Intelligence despite the faster chip, meaning you can’t take advantage of features like the ability to generate images and text. It will, however, support iPadOS 26’s windowed multitasking feature when the update arrives later this year. Currently, the 11th-gen iPad starts at $349 with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage. Upgrading to 256GB or 512GB of storage will run you an extra $100 or $200, respectively, while the LTE model starts at $499. The base model recently dropped to $279 ($70 off) during Amazon’s most recent Prime Day event, proving that, if you’re patient, it’s possible to save a good chunk on the MSRP. That said, there are great deals to be had throughout the year. For example, the aforementioned base configuration is currently down to $299 ($50 off) — its second-best price to date — at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Alternatively, the 256GB model is $399 ($50 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, while the 512GB variant is available for around $598 ($51 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. ## The best iPad Mini (2024) deals ### iPad Mini (2024) ### Where to Buy: - $499 $474 at **Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi)** - $599 $569 at **Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi)** - $799 $779 at **Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)** While the **seventh-gen iPad Mini** looks nearly identical to its predecessor, it offers a few notable upgrades, including compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro. The Pencil Pro brings features like squeeze controls for quick tool switching and a so-called “barrel roll” function, which lets you change the orientation of your stroke by rotating the stylus. The Mini also includes a newer A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence, and the base storage has increased to 128GB, up from 64GB. Otherwise, it retains many of the hallmarks found on its last-gen predecessor, including an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, a Touch ID sensor, and an estimated 10 hours of battery life when browsing on Wi-Fi. The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 with 128GB of storage — the same price as the previous generation’s 64GB model. If you need more room for all your photos and apps, the 256GB and 512GB versions will set you back $599 and $799, respectively. Want to add cellular? That starts at $649. These are hefty price tags for such a small device, which might have you eyeing the larger iPad Air if you’re after more screen for your buck. But if you’re loyal to the compact form factor for tasks like reading, the iPad Mini is still the one to beat. The iPad Mini dropped to just $379, an all-time low, during Prime Day; however, the current discounts aren’t nearly as dramatic, with the 128GB base model going for $474 ($25 off) at Amazon. You can also pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon and Walmart starting around $569 ($30 off), or the 512GB model at Amazon and B&H Photo for $779 ($20 off). ## The best iPad Air (2025) deals ### 11-inch iPad Air M3 ### Where to Buy: - $599 $547.27 at **Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi)** - $699 $629 at **Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi)** - $899 $811.47 at **B&H Photo (512GB, Wi-Fi)** ### 13-inch iPad Air M3 ### Where to Buy: - $799 $725 at **Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi)** - $899 $815.73 at **Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi)** - $1099 $1000.88 at **Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)** The **seventh-gen iPad Air** sits between the entry-level iPad and the more powerful iPad Pro. It’s available in 11-inch and 13-inch configurations, both of which are powered by Apple’s speedy M3 chip and compatible with the latest Apple Intelligence features. The Air also works with the updated Magic Keyboard, which now includes a full row of function keys for controlling volume and screen brightness. There’s not a ton that’s new with the latest Air compared to the prior model, but the bump in power should allow it to last longer. The 11-inch iPad Air starts at $599, and the 13-inch version comes in at $799. While the starting prices are high, the tablet regularly goes on sale, with the 11-inch Air dipping to as low as $479 during events like Prime Day. Right now, for instance, the 11-inch Air with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is on sale at Amazon and Walmart starting at $547.27 (about $52 off). The 256GB version is on sale for $629 ($70 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, while the 512GB model is down to $811.47 (about $88 off) at B&H Photo. If you’re after the larger configuration, the 13-inch model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon and Walmart for around $725 ($75 off). Meanwhile, Amazon and Walmart are offering the configuration with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage for $815.73 (about $84 off), while the 512GB variant with Wi-Fi is down to $1,000.88 (about $100 off) at Amazon and Walmart. ## The best iPad Pro (2024) deals ### 11-inch iPad Pro (2024) ### Where to Buy: - $999 $899 at **Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi)** - $1199 $1089.9 at **Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)** - $1599 $1459 at **Amazon (1TB, Wi-Fi)** ### 13-inch iPad Pro (2024) ### Where to Buy: - $1299 $1179.38 at **Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi)** - $1499 $1359.86 at **Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)** - $1899 $1631 at **Amazon (1TB, Wi-Fi)** The **seventh-gen iPad Pro** is the most impressive tablet in Apple’s lineup, one that features the company’s latest M4 chip and a crisp, “Tandem OLED” display. It has dedicated hardware for Apple Intelligence processing, a four-speaker setup for richer sound, and a repositioned front-facing camera along the horizontal edge, so you can keep the device in landscape during video calls. The more advanced tech, however, comes at a high price. The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 — the same price as the latest 13-inch MacBook Air — while the larger 13-inch model starts at $1,200. The good news is that the iPad Pro regularly goes on sale. The 11-inch iPad Pro with 256GB of storage is currently down to $899 ($100 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo, while the 512GB model is down to $1,089.90 (about $109 off) at Amazon. Stepping up to the 1TB model — which will provide you with even more room for apps, photos, and videos — will run you $1,459 ($140 off) at Amazon and Walmart. If you want more screen real estate, the 13-inch model with 256GB is around $1,179 ($120 off) at Amazon and Walmart. Meanwhile, the 512GB model is down to $1,359.86 (about $140 off) at Amazon and Walmart, while the 1TB model is available at Amazon and Walmart for $1,631 ($268 off). You can also grab the 2TB model for $2,084 ($215 off) at Amazon and Walmart. ### Related Stocks - [AAPL.US - Apple](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 苹果员工证实：iPhone 16e 库存已” 干涸”，17e 发布进入倒计时 | 苹果零售员工反馈 iPhone 16e 库存已基本枯竭，iPad Air 同样面临供货紧张。这一现象通常意味着苹果正在为新品上市腾出渠道空间，预计 iPhone 17e 和 M4 版 iPad Air 将在未来数周内亮相。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275765809.md) | | 资本开支超 GDP！硅谷巨头 6600 亿美元押注 AI，市场却越烧钱越恐慌 | 美股科技巨头合计计划在 2026 年投入 6600 亿美元用于 AI 基建，这一金额超过以色列的 GDP，同比激增 60%。亚马逊、微软及谷歌因资本支出规模惊人且微软高度依赖 OpenAI，导致三家公司市值蒸发 9000 亿美元。相比之下， | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275079361.md) | | 每千次展示 60 美元！OpenAI 用高价拉开 “AI 广告” 大幕 | 为应对 AI 巨额开支，OpenAI 正式测试广告，CPM60 美元起步、最低投入 20 万美元，定位高端渠道，直接挑战谷歌万亿美元市场，WPP 等顶级代理已率先合作。但转型风险并存：需平衡用户信任，承诺不用私聊数据；对手 Anthropi | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275993077.md) | | 首次用 iPhone 芯片！苹果拟推 “廉价版” MacBook，售价或低于 799 美元 | 尽管 “廉价版” MacBook 内存配置较低，但操作流畅度可能不会受到明显影响，还将支持 Apple Intelligence，预计在入门级产品中保持竞争力。行业消息人士透露，苹果预计该产品年出货量将达到 500 万至 800 万台，相当 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/274925227.md) | | 谷歌电话会：1850 亿支出 “不得不花”，确认与苹果合作，Gemini 并非 SaaS 的 “终结者” | 谷歌公布 2026 年资本支出将高达 1750-1850 亿美元，主要用于服务器和数据中心，全力投入 AI 军备竞赛。正式确认牵手苹果，开发基于 Gemini 的下一代基础模型。针对市场对 “AI 颠覆 SaaS” 的恐慌，CEO 称 Ge | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/274893063.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
