Best iPad deal overall

Why we like it

This 2021 iPad is hovering around the $229 price it went for around Black Friday, which makes it a great option you should snatch up. For this price, a recent iPad is a no-brainer, no matter what you're looking to use it for. It's also still cheaper than the 2022 iPad model even when that model's on sale. Given Apple's penchant for incremental upgrades, you aren't missing out on much if you skip the pricier upgrade. This tablet is great for browsing online, watching YouTube videos, or keeping up with family, so non-power users have plenty of reasons to get this bad boy while it's hot – figuratively speaking, of course.

Best 2022 iPad deal

Why we like it

For those who don't mind spending a little extra to get a more recent iPad model, the 2022 edition is still well worth buying to say you're up to date with newer tech. This model nets you an upgrade to the A14 Bionic chip, which offers zippier performance, and WiFi 6 connectivity. Its battery life also lasts a bit longer, making it a prime choice for long usage sessions. If none of that really matters to you, though, you can still get away with grabbing an older model, since the differences are negligible if you're a casual user.

Best iPad Air deal

Why we like it

The iPad Air isn't quite as small as the iPad Mini, but it's downsized enough from its other iPad brethren that it makes a significant difference. This lightweight tablet is a great alternative to the heavier iPad and iPad Pro, with a thin and lightweight chassis 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 on the go. It's everything you love about the original iPad but in a much more portable package.
