Apple sells four kinds of iPad: the iPad Pro; the iPad Air; the iPad mini; and the standard, cheapest iPad. In this roundup, we’ve got all the best deals on Apple’s cheapest iPad, which is currently the iPad A16 model introduced in March 2025.
The 2025 A16 iPad is the 11th-generation model, replacing the 2022 iPad (10th generation) which ran on an A14 chip. The main selling point of the 2025 iPad is that it has double the storage at the entry level, so it’s a better deal than ever.
The processor has leapt from the A14 to A16, which might sound good, but this is also the main disadvantage of the 2025 iPad. The A16 is not compatible with Apple Intelligence, the new AI features Apple is making quite a fuss about.
It will be a while before you can get big savings off the A16 iPad, which went on sale on March 12, but you can save money on an older iPad, which isn’t all that different to the new one. Just beware that the older model had half the storage for the same price, so the deal will have to take that into account to be worth it. For that reason we will be clear about what the newer model would cost when listing the deals on the older model below.
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.

Best standard iPad deals right now
The main difference between the 2025 iPad and the 2022 iPad is that you will get more storage for your money with the newer models. The entry-level 2022 iPad had 64GB storage, while the 2025 iPad has double that storage for the same price. So is is crucial to keep that in mind if you are concidering buying a 10th-gen iPad, or you risk spending more on an older iPad.

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:
