We’re finding the best iPad deals and iPad Pro prices in the sales on every model for you.
Cheap iPad deals aren’t always easy to come by. However, right now we’re seeing discounts across the range which means big savings whether you’re deal hunting in the US or UK. The brand new 2021 iPad Pro is also now available for pre-order, which means you’ll be able to get your hands on the next generation at launch in May if you’re speedy. The new iPad Pro price matches the older generation in the lower end of the spectrum, but if you want to take that M1 processor to town with more storage (now up to 2TB) you’ll be seeing a slightly price hike. If you don’t think you’ll need the new model, however, you’ll find iPad Pro deals on older generations offering some record low prices right now. Not only that, but we’re seeing excellent cheap iPad deals on the 8th generation and Air models this week, which means savings across the price range. Older generation iPad deals can also be found, however with these devices being discontinued once the new refresh hits its stride, stock is looking a little low on 2018 iPad Pro sales and 2019 iPads right now. That said, some retailers are still offering larger configurations of these devices, which means you could save even more cash if you’re looking for plenty of storage and don’t mind dropping down a processing generation. We’re rounding up all the best cheap iPad deals and iPad Pro sales right here, so you can not only find the lowest costs from around the web but also judge which model will be best for you. We’ve broken down these iPad deals by their key specs and use-cases, so you don’t spend more than you need to, especially seeing as top of the range iPad Pro prices can soar over $1,000 / £1,000. You’ll find the full range of iPad, Air, Mini and iPad Pro deals available just below. If you’re after a smaller form factor, however, you can check out the best iPad Mini prices and sales going right now. The 2020 8th generation iPad offers up the same entry level pricing as its 2019 predecessor but boosts your processing power to run as much as 40% faster than previous models. That means you’re getting plenty of value for money here, and we’d generally suggest those shopping on the cheaper end of the spectrum go for this model. The 2020 iPad price sits at $329 / £329 / AU$499 for 32GB of storage in a WiFi model, with 128GB setting you back $429 / £429 / AU$649. We’ve already seen iPad deals hitting the newest release as well, with a $299 sales price in the US sitting particularly well. Grab this cheap iPad if you’re primarily looking to browse the web, play some games, take notes or stream content. The 2019 model is now discontinued, and if you do find it on the shelves, it seems to be more expensive than the newer version. Now available for pre-order, the latest iPad Pro offers up the excellent performance of Apple’s stunning M1 chip. With that particularly impressive brain at the helm you’ll be zipping through games, AR, and more demanding apps with incredible speed. Apple estimates that the 8-core processor will offer up a 50% jump in performance over 2020’s model, with a 40% boost in GPU performance as well. While the 11-inch doesn’t offer the XDR display (you’ll need to upgrade to the 12.9-inch model for that), you’re still getting the larger 2TB storage option which is the largest we’ve seen on an iPad to date. If you do opt for all the space, it’s worth noting that the 1TB and 2TB models also offer double the RAM, up to 16GB. You’re also getting a Thunderbolt port here, which yields the potential for a massive number of connections, and much faster data transfers as well. The new front facing camera has a 12MP ultra-wide lense, with a 122-degree field of view. That means you’ll be able to use a new mode called Centre Stage which will move your camera to keep you in frame when as you move around in your video calls. The new iPad Pro price does start out at the same position as the previous model, with the 128GB and 256GB models costing $799 / £749 / AU$1,199 and $899 / £849 / AU$1,349 respectively. However, things start straying from last year’s iPad prices once you move beyond these entry level devices. If you opt for the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro you’re also opening yourself up to an incredible display. Until we get our hands on it we won’t know just how the mini-LEDs,2732 x 2048 resolution,1600 nits of peak brightness, million to one contrast ratio, and 120Hz refresh rate will play out in real life, but the spec sheet looks set to rival an OLED panel. That’s the main reason (other than additional screen size) for picking up the 12.9-inch iPad Pro over the 11-inch. However, you are also getting a slightly thicker profile here than the smaller model. Inside, the 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro is still offering the powerful M1 chip, plenty of storage options (including the new 2TB configuration), excellent CPU and GPU performance boosts, and Thunderbolt compatibility as well.
