While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday, many great iPad deals are available outside of those times. Day‑to‑day discounts come and go like changing winds, so there’s often something to be saved—particularly on Apple’s most affordable iPad, the iPad Mini, and the latest iPad Air. You can even find discounts on the newest M5 iPad Pro, which is already on sale at multiple retailers.
All that being said, it’s difficult to know exactly where to find the most notable iPad deals unless you’re scouring the major retailers daily. That’s what our deal hunters at The Verge do, so let us help you out. Below, we’ve rounded up the best prices on every current iPad model, from the 11th‑gen base iPad to the more powerful models with the M3, M4, and M5 chips.
Note: Apple is holding a “special Apple experience” in New York City on March 4. Rumors hint at an M4‑powered iPad Air and a new entry‑level iPad with support for Apple Intelligence. If you can wait, keep an eye on that event; otherwise, here are the best deals available right now.

Overview
The 11th‑gen iPad launched in March. It’s an iterative update with 128 GB of base storage (up from 64 GB) and an A16 Bionic chip—about 30 % faster than the A14 used in the 10th‑gen iPad. The newer chip does not support the Apple Intelligence features introduced in iPadOS 18.1; for those, consider a newer iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro.
