Best iPad deal overall
Because we like it
This 2021 iPad hovers around the $229 price it cost around Black Friday, making it a great option to grab. For this price, a recent iPad is excellent, no matter what you want to use it for. It’s also still cheaper than the 2022 iPad model, even when that model is on sale. Given Apple’s penchant for incremental upgrades, you won’t lose much if you skip the more expensive upgrade. This tablet is great for browsing the web, watching YouTube videos or keeping up with the family, so non-power users have plenty of reasons to get this bad boy while it’s hot – figuratively speaking, of course.
The best iPad deal of 2022
Because we like it
For those who don’t mind spending a little extra to get a newer iPad model, the 2022 version is still worth buying to say you’re up to date with newer technology. This model gets you an upgrade to the A14 Bionic chip, which offers better performance with zip and WiFi 6 connectivity. Its battery life also lasts a bit longer, making it an essential choice for long periods of use. However, if none of this really matters to you, you can still get away with grabbing an older model, as the differences are negligible if you’re a casual user.
The best iPad Air deal
Because we like it
The iPad Air isn’t as small as the iPad Mini, but it’s scaled down enough from its other iPad siblings that it makes a significant difference. This lightweight tablet is a great alternative to the heavier iPad and iPad Pro, with a thin and light frame that houses an M1 chip, Touch ID and WiFi 6 support. You can also use the Apple Pencil with this model for simple note-taking move. It’s everything you love about the original iPad, but in a much more portable package.
