Best iPad Deals: Big Savings on Air, Mini and Pro – CNET

It’s probably no surprise that Apple makes some of the best tablets on the market, with various configurations and models for you to pick from. Unfortunately, they do tend to be quite pricey, and if you want to stay within the Apple ecosystem, then you’re going to want to grab a deal on them rather than paying full price. There are a few different deals you can grab, from the entry-level 10th-gen iPad to the more lightweight and budget-friendly iPad Air and iPad Mini.

Ultimately, it depends on how you want to integrate a tablet into your Apple ecosystem. 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.

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 The power button on the side now has Touch ID, and the Lightning port has been replaced by a USB-C charging port.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.
