The clock’s just about run out on holiday shopping, but the iPad is a fantastic addition to your tech arsenal or a great gift no matter what the calendar says. We’re always searching the internet for the best iPad deals. We recently reviewed the best tablets for college students, and it’s no surprise that the always-popular iPad Air topped our list. Just recently, Apple announced a brand-new generation of iPads, complete with the M2 chip and other new features.
While early adopters are getting ready to test out the newest Apple tablets, savvy deals hunters like us are watching the previous generation to see how low prices can go. Traditionally, announcements like this are a great time to save on last year’s iPads, which are still among the best tablets in the world.
Since their debut in 2010, Apple’s tablets have remained a great alternative to traditional laptops or desktop computers because of their small, compact, easy-to-carry size. With the addition of an iPad keyboard and proper iPad case, they can be used to do just about anything.
There’s a tablet for every purpose, from affordable models like the 2021 Apple 8.3-inch iPad Mini, now just $469 at Amazon and Walmart, to laptop alternatives like the 2021 12.9-Inch iPad Pro, now $300 off at Best Buy and Walmart. These models are our top picks for the best iPad deals of December 2022, but there are tons more discounts to be had. Keep scrolling to find the lowest prices on iPad Air, iPad Pro and all versions of the popular tablet.

Amazon’s Prime Early Access Day deals came in as strong as expected, but now Walmart has jumped in to match. In fact, Walmart has a history of undercutting Amazon on iPads specifically, and in some cases, like the 2021 11-inch iPad Pro, Walmart has Amazon beat for the best iPad deals.

Best Deals on 2021 Apple 8.3-inch iPad Mini
Some people might mistake the 2021 iPad Mini for a large phone, but it has more in common with a laptop than the average smartphone. With a smaller and thinner design, the newest iPad Mini has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display powered by Apple’s A15 Bionic chip. Amazon and Walmart have the best deals on the 2021 iPad Mini right now, each coming in at $469.

Best Deals on 2022 Apple 10.9-inch iPad Air
The 2022 iPad Air was a quantum leap forward. It runs on the M1 chip with Neural Engine, has a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and the 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone also has P3 wide color and an anti-reflective coating for the best image of any iPad Air yet. Right now, Amazon is selling this great tablet for $499.99.
Although the newly announced iPads will have an upgraded M2 chip and other cool features, this is still a mighty impressive tablet, even more so when it’s on sale.

Best Deals on 2021 Apple 10.2-inch iPad
The 9th Generation iPad is the most popular Apple tablet ever, not just because it’s one of the most affordable models yet. Released in September 2021, the new iPad 9 offers faster performance thanks to the A13 Bionic chip. The lowest price on the 64GB Apple 10.2 inch iPad right now is $344.99 at Amazon.

Best Deals on 2021 Apple 12.9-inch iPad Pro
If you’re looking for the best possible price on the new generation of Apple tablets, we recommend going with the 2021 iPad 9, which you can purchase for just $269 at Amazon. However, if you want a larger tablet from Apple that’s capable of acting more like a laptop, then you’ll want to go with the premium 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Released in late 2021, this iPad Pro is powerful enough to replace most laptops (if you buy a separate keyboard).
The high-speed M1 chip powers the iPad Pro, and the base model comes with 128GB of storage. Best Buy and Walmart are neck and neck for the best deal on the Pro right now, each offering this great tablet for $300 off retail.

Best Deals on 2021 Apple 11-inch iPad Pro
Although the 11-inch iPad Pro has a smaller Liquid Retina display, it’s still large and fast enough for most users. So unless you miss that extra inch, we recommend saving yourself $250 and going with this model over the 12.9-inch iPad featured above. You can usually find this tablet priced at $799, but Walmart has just lowered the price to $700 for the 256GB model. This is an unexpected flash deal, especially when you consider the 128GB model with half the memory is still sitting at $864.99.

Best Deals on 2020 Apple 10.9-inch iPad Air
The previous generation of iPad Air tablets may have dropped in 2020, but there’s still a lot to love about this colorful tablet. The iPad Air 2020 uses Apple’s A14 Bionic chip, which offers the kind of power you’d typically expect from a laptop. And because it’s been around longer than its 2021 cousins, it’s easier to find on sale. If you are looking for iPad Air tablets, head to Walmart to pick one up for $469.
