Apple just raised prices across its iPad and MacBook lineup. The good news is that many retailers are still selling their inventory at the old prices or far less, which means you can still score some of the best iPad deals we may see in awhile — if ever again. So if you’ve been thinking about picking up a new iPad, now is probably the time to do it.
Now the bad news: those discounts are starting to disappear, though. One of the best iPad deals of Prime Day, for instance, saw the M4-powered iPad Air with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage drop to a record low of $519 when the sale kicked off. Amazon has since sold out, but Best Buy is still offering it for $519, which is $230 less than Apple’s new list price. You can also still buy it with LTE connectivity at Amazon for $699 ($200 off).
Compared to Apple’s entry-level iPad, the Air offers a faster M4 chip, 12GB of RAM, Apple Intelligence features, Apple Pencil Pro support. It also offers newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, making it a more future-proof option.
If the iPad Air isn’t what you’re after, though, don’t worry. There are still plenty of other iPad deals worth considering, whether you’re shopping for Apple’s affordable entry-level model or its high-end iPad Pro. Here are the best discounts we could find.
