Best 10th-gen iPad deals

Macworld

You can find great deals on a new iPad if you know where to look. We’ve checked all the best places to pick up the iPad at the best price for you so that you can get a bargain.

Following Apple’s May 7 event (where new iPad Pro and iPad Air models were announced) Apple removed the 9th-gen iPad from the lineup and adjusted pricing for the 10th-gen iPad. Pricing is now as follows:

iPad (10th generation): $349/£349/€439 (was $449/£499/€589)

The 9th-gen iPad from 2021 was discontinued, but you can still find deals on that model while stock holds out. At launch, the 9th-gen iPad cost $329/£319/€379, but it actually went up in price to $329/£369/€439 before being killed off. Make sure you’re paying less than that.

Best refurbished iPad deals

The deals you will see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself, which very rarely drops the prices. Apple does, however, sell reconditioned iPads in its refurbished store. So you might be able to grab a bargain.

The iPads in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand.

The U.S. refurbished store has a selection that includes:

Standard iPad (8th and 9th generation)

iPad Air (4th generation)

11-inch iPad Pro (2nd and 3rd generation)

12.9-inch iPad Pro (4th and 5th generation)

iPad mini (5th and 6th generation)

Compared to the original price, you can save as much as $320 on a 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

In the U.K. you’ll find a similar selection of iPads available from Apple’s refurbished store. You’ll find the following:

Standard iPad (9th generation)

iPad Air (4th generation)

11-inch iPad Pro (2nd and 3rd generation)

12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th generation)

iPad mini (5th and 6th generation)

There are savings of £480 on a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, compared to the original price.

Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products, but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years. Most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are unfortunately very old.

There is a large refurbished market for the iPad. We’d recommend taking a look at these refurbished resellers for iPad offers:

Amazon

AWD

Big Phone Store

eBay

Envirofone

Affordable Mac

Tech Trade

4Gadgets

Handtec

Laptops Direct

Music Magpie

Preloved

Smartfone Store
