iPad deals — which iPad should I buy?
Apple’s iPad family is now bigger than ever. Currently, these are the models that Apple offers:
The 10.2-inch iPad is the tablet for everyone. The mainstream tablet is not only the most affordable iPad, but it’s also the best value for your dollar. The tablet uses Apple’s A10 Fusion chip. That shouldn’t be a deal breaker though. While the A10 Fusion chip is indeed dated, it still packs enough power for streaming movies and playing some Apple Arcade.
It can also be used for sketching and drawing, thanks to its Apple Pencil (1st gen) support. For the first time, you can also pair the 10.2-inch iPad with Apple’s Smart Keyboard. Check out our new iPad (2020) review to see why we love Apple’s latest tablet.
True to its name, the iPad mini is the smallest tablet in Apple’s lineup. It houses Apple’s A12 Bionic chip with an M12 coprocessor. (That’s the same CPU found in the iPhone XS family). It happens to be the tablet we own and we love it for everything from streaming Netflix to playing Mario Kart. However, keep in mind that it’s long overdue a refresh from Apple. Once it’s been refreshed, there will likely be better iPad deals on this tablet.
If you want unrivaled power, you’ll want to check out the new iPad Air or iPad Pros. The latter come in 11-inch and 12.9-inch flavors and use Apple’s new M1 CPU. They will be available for sale in the second half of May. As for the 2020 iPad Pros, you’ll find great iPad deals on those tablets. The base models are currently up to $100 off.
Guide to finding the best iPad deals
Where to find the best deals: Generally speaking, Amazon tends to offer the best iPad deals. On any given day of the week you’ll typically find discounts that run the gamut from $50 to $150 off. Other retailers like Best Buy, B&H Photo, and Walmart tend to offer similar prices. However, it’s rare that they undercut Amazon’s iPad deals. However, in the case of the new iPad Pro 2021 tablets, Walmart is taking $50 off a few models, whereas Amazon has yet to offer them on sale.
Check all colors: Amazon tends to give different color iPads different prices. For instance, the base iPad 32GB tablet in black might sell for a discounted $299 price, but the white model might sell at full price. So when looking for iPad deals at Amazon, it’s worth checking various colors for the lowest price.
Beware the iPad mini: The iPad mini is one of the oldest iPads in Apple’s lineup. There are also strong rumors that it could be updated with an iPad mini 6 complete with M1 CPU in the near future. As a result, you might want to wait before buying this model. That said, this is the iPad I personally own and it still runs like new, whether I’m streaming Apple Music, Netflix, or playing Mario Kart. Nevertheless, I’d wait for the new model before making an iPad mini purchase.
