With the announcement of the new iPad Pro at Apple’s 2021 ‘Spring Loaded’ event, last year’s model is now on sale at Amazon. The best deal is on the 128GB, Wi-Fi model, which you can now pick up for just $799.99 ($199 off) — its lowest Amazon price to date.
Even the Android Authority team can’t deny the quality of the iPad range, as we named it the best tablet to get when it launched last year. When paired with a keyboard and Apple Pencil, it becomes a productivity powerhouse that might even be able to replace your laptop.

You can also buy the iPad of your choice directly from Apple, but you can probably expect to pay full price. Outside of the refurbished section, Apple rarely runs top deals.
1. 10.2-inch iPad deals
The easiest place to start when you’re in the market for a new iPad is with the classic. The latest version of the original iPad, now called the New iPad, packs an A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine and up to 128GB of storage. You can take your pick between gold, Space Gray, and the classic silver.
The New iPad is best if you’re looking for a new tablet with a powerful chip, ample storage, and a large screen but you don’t need the high-end bells and whistles that come with the Pro model.
Check out the best deals available via the widgets below.

2. 10.9-inch iPad Air deals
The iPad Air is more powerful than the New iPad. It swaps the A12 Bionic chip for the more powerful A14 Bionic chip and bumps the screen up to 10.9 inches. Despite improved internals and boosted size, the iPad Air remains wafer-thin at 6.1mm and weighs 1lb.
The iPad Air is essentially an amplified version of the New iPad, so it’s perfect if you want the extra power to get through the day. It also comes in the most colors of any iPad model.
Here’s the best iPad Air deal right now:
- New iPad Air with 64GB of storage for $559 ($40 off)
- New iPad Air (Wi-Fi, 256GB) for $699 ($50 off)
3. iPad Mini deals
Some people prefer a smaller tablet, and Apple created the iPad Mini to fill that niche. The iPad Mini keeps the A12 Bionic chip and the Retina display, but it shrinks everything into a compact 7.9-inch screen. It’s the ideal iPad if your luggage space is limited
You can definitely consider the iPad Mini if you want the smallest and lightest option on the market. Here are a few of your best bets:
- iPad Mini (Wi-Fi, 64GB, Unlocked) for $369 ($30 off)
- iPad Mini (Wi-Fi and Cellular, 64GB, Verizon) for $429 ($100 off)
4. 11-inch iPad Pro deals
The final option if you’re looking for an iPad is the iPad Pro. It’s as close as it gets to a tablet that can replace your laptop, so it’s the option to check out if you plan to use your iPad for work.
While there aren’t any deals on the recently announced 2021 iPad Pro models, there are savings to be had on last year’s model. It features a powerful A12Z Bionic chip, dual rear cameras, and super slim bezels. Click below to see the current pricing on Amazon.

5. 12.9-inch iPad Pro deals
If you want to maximize your size along with your specs, the larger iPad Pro is the route to take. The larger size and slightly higher starting price are the main differences when it comes to making your decision.
You can go for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro if you truly want to replace your laptop without sacrificing too much of the screen size. Here are the best deals on last years model that you can choose from:
- New Apple iPad Pro (Wi-Fi, 256GB) for $899 ($199 off)
- New Apple iPad Pro (Wi-Fi, 512GB) for $1,099 ($200 off)
6. Refurbished iPad deals
Though Apple offers a variety of brand-new iPad, you can also go with a refurbished option if you really want to save some money. The best place to look for refurbished iPads is Apple, where you can save up to $80 on select models. Apple sometimes has offers on the iPad Mini, Air, and even the previous generation of the iPad Pro. However, it appears that a refurbished Apple Pencil is your only option right now.
