AMAZON OFFER
Apple iPad (9th generation)
Lowest price ever
224,00 € 329,00 € 32% discount
229,00 € 329,00 € 30% discount
The new iPad deal gets you an Apple iPad (9th generation) for just $224 online. That’s a massive $105 discount and the lowest price we’ve seen for a brand new (so not refurbished) iPad. The $224 iPad deal is available at Amazon and gets you a 10.2-inch tablet with a crisp Retina display, a speedy A13 Bionic chip and 64GB of storage. Great for reading, streaming, working or creating content, the iPad also has a 12MP ultra-wide-angle front camera and an 8MP rear camera. Battery life is very good, with up to ten hours of use on a single charge.
(If Amazon sells out, Target is offering the same iPad for $229 – 30% off.) Choose between silver and space gray color options.
IPAD AIR OFFER
Apple iPad Air 11 inch (M2)
559,00 € 599,00 € 7% discount
564,00 € 599,00 € 6% discount
Looking for the best iPad Air deal? Amazon has discounted the 11-inch iPad Air to $559 — its lowest price since Prime Day. This new iPad rarely goes on sale, so it’s worth taking advantage of the $40 discount (Walmart has it starting at $564 here).
The Amazon deal gets you a new iPad Air with an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, 128GB of storage, and 12MP front and rear cameras. What we like: The iPad also has an advanced M2 chip, which is required to run Final Cut Pro and makes Logic Pro run faster. If you only need to run Logic Pro (and not Final Cut Pro), you can get the 9th-generation iPad mentioned above. The iPad Air comes in blue, purple, space gray, or “Starlight” color options.
What are the best deals on the Apple iPad?
Looking for other ways to grab an iPad deal? Here are some ways you can buy the Apple tablet online at a discount.
1. Shop at other retailers
Apple may not offer discounts on the iPad, but other retailers like Amazon, Walmart, B&H, Adorama, and Best Buy do. These discounts are sometimes part of a larger promotion like Black Friday, but often the price of the iPad is discreetly reduced, so check back often.
The only problem with buying an iPad on sale is that you have to wait too long. Stock is always limited, demand is always high and the offer can end at any time, so if you see a special offer, we recommend you add the product to your shopping cart.
2. Buy refurbished
Getting refurbished tech online used to be a gamble—especially high-end devices like the iPad—but since major retailers legalized the process, it’s become much easier.
For example, an iPad purchased from Amazon’s warehouse section (also known as the “Amazon Resale” page) went through a thorough inspection to determine its exact condition, shipped quickly (especially for Prime members), and had the same return policy as a “new” item sold directly by Amazon. We’ve purchased iPads from Amazon’s resale section before, and the only “used” thing about the item was that the packaging was a little worn—everything in the box, including the iPad, was in brand new condition.
Of course, the discount you get when you buy a refurbished iPad will depend on its condition, but consider this: You can currently get a refurbished or “refurbished” iPad on Amazon for as little as $108 (at the time of this writing).
