iPad deals are still strong on day three of Amazon's Prime Day-like spring sale
Table of Contents
UPDATE: Mar. 22, 2024, 9:55 a.m. EDT We've updated this post with the most recent iPad pricing and availability during Amazon's sale.
Amazon's first official Big Spring Sale is live — and bringing with it plenty of iPad deals.
We're on day three of the event, which runs from March 20 to 25, but we haven't been super impressed with the Apple deals so far. With that said, we are seeing a good range of iPad deals (even though most of them were live before the sale officially started).
Not one to miss out on the fun, Walmart coincidentally kicked off a spring sale this week too, and we're seeing price matching. Though Walmart often has lower iPad prices (like with the iPad Air), so far the retailers have the same deals. We haven't seen any brand-new record-low prices on any iPads either, but we have seen several returns to record-low prices.
In any case, wherever or whenever iPad prices drop, we'll be sure to make note of it — so you'll want to check back often if you're in the market for a new Apple tablet. Below, we've gathered our favorite deals for you:
Best iPad deal
Why we like it
Check out Mashable's full review of the Apple iPad Air (2022).
Apple is reportedly set to release new iPad Airs very soon, but if you don't care too much about the latest specs, getting the 2022 Air on sale isn't a bad move. It's not as if you're settling for something all that dated — this iPad still runs an M1 chip and is compatible with the Apple Pencil 2. Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder called it the "sweet spot of Apple's tablets" for capturing higher-ended features of the Pro while retaining more of the price approachability of the standard iPad. At $449, Walmart and Amazon have brought this iPad back down to its lowest price ever.
Best iPad accessory deal
Why we like it
Minus the 9th and 10th-generation standard iPads, every single iPad on this list is compatible with the second-generation Apple Pencil. If you plan on jotting notes down, doing some drawing, or if you simply want to get the most out of your Apple tablet, the Apple Pencil can help you do just that. It's magnetic and sticks to the side of the iPad, so there's no need for a special carrying case. Conveniently, it also charges when locked into that position. $79 marks the lowest price this Apple Pencil has ever hit.
