The best iPad deals in April 2025

Apple's tablets are some of the most expensive options available, but if you buy at the right time, you can come away with a big saving. That's what I aim to do here by gathering up all of the best iPad deals available right now.

Whether you're looking for a discount on the brand-new standard iPad A16 or the souped-up iPad Air M3 models, there are usually always chances to bag an offer on one of Apple's popular slates. And, given they are some of the best tablets you can buy, we'll happily take one for less than full price.

Do also check out the latest Apple promo codes or Best Buy discount codes in case there are ways to save even more money on your next tablet when buying from either store - even more so if you can get access to the Apple student discount for further reductions.

Today's best iPad deals

Apple iPad A16 (2025): was $349 now $329 at Amazon

The brand-new Apple iPad A16 is already $20 off at Amazon. It's not a huge discount, sure, but we rarely see price cuts on Apple tech this early so it's worth taking advantage if you have an eye on the latest Apple slate. The biggest upgrade compared to the previous generation model is the latest A16 chip for faster performance. You also get double the storage of 128GB as standard, a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display, and solid 12MP front and back cameras.

Apple iPad A14 (2022): was $349 now $269 at Amazon

Amazon has dropped the iPad 10.9 to $269 – that's only $10 more than the record-low price we saw over Black Friday. Even with the new A16 version available now, this is great value for money if you need an affordable all-around tablet. We said Apple's latest base-level slate is a big upgrade over the previous generation model in our iPad 10.9 review, with a larger Liquid Retina display, a A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.

Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3, 2025): was $599 now $549 at Amazon

There's a small $50 discount on the newest iPad Air with the M3 chip on Amazon. This is a somewhat surprising update given the M2 version only just launched last year, but both devices are around the same price so you may as well get the newer version. As well as that more powerful chip, the latest iPad Air boasts a crisp Liquid Retina display, 128GB of storage as standard, 12MP front and back cameras, and support for Apple Intelligence AI features.

Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M3, 2025): was $799 now $737 at Amazon

If you prefer a larger display, you can save over $60 on the newest 13-inch iPad Air with an M3 chip on Amazon. Apart from the bigger screen, it's identical to the 11-inch version. So, you get the same powerful M3 chip, a sharp Liquid Retina display, 12MP front and back cameras, 128GB of storage at a minimum, and Apple Intelligence compatibility for all the fancy new AI features.

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4, 2024): was $999 now $919 at Amazon

There's a small saving of $80 on the latest iPad Pro 11-inch at Amazon. It did fall to $899 over Black Friday, but this is one of the best deals we'll see outside of major sales events. This is still a pricey tablet that's $200 more than the base price for both previous-generation models, but you do get the brand-new M4 chip, high-quality tandem OLED display and twice as much storage (256GB) as standard. Expect this to be one of the better offers we see in the early days of the tablet's life.

Which iPad should I buy?

If you're looking for a cheap iPad, the 10.2-inch flagship model from 2021 is likely your best bet. This everyday tablet comes with super-fast tech under the hood, compatibility with a range of accessories to enhance the experience for work or play, as well as a competitive price tag. The newer 10.9-inch model is an option, too, but it is more expensive, so we suggest getting the cheaper model while you can.

However, if you're going to be using your tablet for anything other than light everyday browsing, streaming and the odd game you might want to scale up to the iPad Air. That has the extra power to play a few more games or run a couple of Adobe programs. The deals we've seen on this iPad model are also a little more stable, with most retailers offering permanent discounts on the recommended price.

For those that go heavy on creativity, gaming, media editing or more multi-tasking-oriented workflows, you'll want to put up the cash for the iPad Pro. The 2022 model is extremely powerful, but just know that it is very rarely reduced outside of limited-time sales events. We'll bring you deals when we find them, just don't expect big price cuts all the time.

Of course, you shouldn't neglect the iPad mini, too. The latest 2021 model has a spec that rivals the Air but in a much smaller form factor. For those who want a more compact and portable device that doesn't significantly compromise on performance, that's the one to look out for in the sales.
