Huge iPad sale at Best Buy and Amazon - shop today's 3 best deals from $249.99

We're currently swimming in some best-ever iPad deals as rumors of new models are swirling around. So, if you want to pick up a great value-for-money tablet and are not desperate to have the latest tech available, these are three unmissable offers on Apple's most popular slates.

The first deal is over at Best Buy, where the iPad 10.2 is down to $249.99 (was $329.99). This is the same record-low price we've seen a handful of times over the last few months, and it's still one of the best iPad deals you can buy. That's because the Apple iPad 10.2 is a well-priced and capable tablet that suits most users and one we rated 4.5 stars out of 5 in our Apple iPad 10.2 (2021) review.

If you want the next step up, you can also get the iPad 10.9 at Best Buy for $349 (was $449). As well as a slightly larger Liquid Retina display, this more recent model boasts a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design. It's probably worth the extra $100 for frequent tablet users performing more demanding jobs, but the light-use day-to-day user can save the cash.

The last and most interesting of the trio is the iPad Air at Amazon for $449.99 (was $599). Not only is this the biggest discount yet, but it also beats the previous best offer available over Black Friday by $50.

This tablet is excellent for general everyday use but also excels as a creative workstation or for gaming, thanks to the speedy and powerful M1 chip. You also get a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone support for a clear and vibrant image in all lighting conditions.
