Apple announced a new iPad Air?in March, bringing an update to the only iPad that missed a refresh in 2021. The new iPad Air gets Apple’s M1 chip, found in the company’s iPad Pros, along with 5G and a wider-angle, front-facing camera with the?Center Stage?autofocusing video feature. What it didn’t get was expanded storage — the new iPad Air models offer the same 64GB and 256GB capacities as the current versions at the same prices. You can save $29 right now at Amazon on the new iPad Air.
The most affordable iPad remains the?ninth-gen iPad, and it’s even more affordable right now at its current $20 discount at Amazon and Walmart. The 10.2-inch iPad features the A13 Bionic chip, Apple’s True Tone display, an improved front-facing camera and an increase in internal storage.?
The iPad Mini is discounted by $99 at Amazon to drop its price to the lowest we’ve seen yet for the diminutive iPad. Like the ninth-gen iPad, the?sixth-gen iPad Mini?was released last fall. It features an 8.3-inch display, the A15 Bionic chip, a USB-C charging port for a quick charge and a power button with Touch ID.?
The 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pros are now the oldest of Apple’s tablets. They were the first non-Mac devices to be made with Apple’s patented M1 chip
?when they hit the scene last spring. The 11-inch iPad Pro is $50 off and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro $149 off, and you can save more on the higher-capacity Pro models.

10.2-inch, 9th-gen iPad (64GB): $309
Save $20 vs. Apple Store
The basic, 10.2-inch iPad didn’t receive a design overhaul like its Mini cousin, but it does serve up a faster processor, a better front-facing camera and an improved display compared with the previous, eighth-gen iPad. The biggest addition is the storage, which was doubled to 64GB on the base model and to 256GB on the step-up model. Other than that, the change you’ll most likely welcome in this age of FaceTime and Zoom calls is the front camera going from 1.2 megapixels to a wider-angle 12 megapixels. It’s also gained?Center Stage to keep your mug in the frame during video calls. Most major retailers have matched Apple’s price, but you can save $20 on the baseline model at Amazon and Walmart. And if you want more storage for photos, videos, projects, apps and more, you can snag the 10.2-inch, 9th-gen iPad with 256GB of storage for just $429 at Amazon.?That’s $50 less than from the Apple Store.

8.3-inch, 6th-gen iPad Mini (64GB): $400
Save $99 vs. Apple Store
The iPad Mini received a complete overhaul. The new design has rounded edges, thin bezels and no home button. The power button on the side now has Touch ID, and the Lightning port has been replaced by a USB-C charging port. It runs on the new A15 Bionic chip (same as the iPhone 13) and serves up an improved and slightly larger 8.3-inch display and better cameras than the old, fifth-gen Mini. You can save $99 on the baseline model right now, which is the biggest discount we’ve seen yet for it. And you can save $109 on the 256GB model, which is also the biggest discount we’ve seen for the step-up model.

10.9-inch iPad Air (64GB): $570
Save $29 vs. Apple Store
The new 10.9-inch iPad Air features Apple’s M1 chip, found in the company’s iPad Pros, along with 5G and a wider-angle, front-facing camera with the?Center Stage?autofocusing video feature. What it didn’t get was expanded storage — the new iPad Air models offer the same 64GB and 256GB capacities as the current versions at the same prices. CNET’s iPad expert Scott Stein still recommends the less expensive 10.2-inch iPad for most people, but sees this iPad Air as a solid step up. Despite being available for less than a month, the new iPad Air has already received its first discount. You can save $29 at Amazon on the 64GB baseline model in most colors.
