The standard 10.2-inch iPad (9th generation) is the cheapest iPad sold by Apple, but in October 2022 it was joined by a 10.9-inch iPad (10th generation) that costs a bit more expensive and comes in a variety of colors. If you’re looking to score a deal and save some cash on the 2021 iPad (9th Gen) or 2022 iPad (10th Gen), then you’ve come to the right place.
You can find great deals if you know where to look – and that’s where we come in! We’ve checked all the best places to pick up the iPad at the best price for you, so you can get a bargain. One thing to note if you’re shopping outside of the US – when introducing the 10th Gen iPad, Apple actually raised the price of the 9th Gen iPad! Read more about it here: Is Apple scamming the rest of the world with inflated prices? The main reason we mention this is because it might make the discounts on the old iPad look better than they are – which is why we’re quoting the price it was as well as what it’s selling for the moment.
There is, however, more than one type of iPad. The standard iPad also has more expensive siblings including: iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro and if you click on those links you may see deals on those models.

Where to buy the iPad (10th generation and 9th generation)
In 2021, the 9th generation iPad suffered from stock shortages, so half the challenge was finding a retailer that had one in stock. Hopefully that won’t be the case with the 10th generation iPad as well, but if it is, you might find one at one of these major retailers:
US retailers
UK retailers
Apple has a number of Apple Premium resellers who stock iPads in the UK and also offer other services, try the following:

Best Refurbished iPad Deals
The deals you’ll see above are usually from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple very rarely drops prices. Apple does, however, sell refurbished iPads in its refurbished store. So you might be able to get a good deal.
iPads in Apple’s Refurbished Store may be old display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a defect, but are now fully refurbished and backed by a warranty of a year. It’s not like buying used. In the UK look at this page and the US Refurb Store page is here.
In the USA:
The UK:
Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sell refurbished Macs and other Apple products. Amazon also has a Certified Refurbished Store for Apple products, but we don’t recommend buying products that are more than five years old – most of the products we see on Amazon’s Refurbished Store are unfortunately very old.
There is a large refurbished market for the iPad. We recommend you take a look at these refurbished dealers for iPad deals:
