The most recent addition to Apple’s iPad lineup is the iPad Air, which was released in the spring, bringing an update to the only iPad that missed a 2021 refresh. The new 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. You can save $79 right now at Amazon on the base iPad Air model — that only $1 away from the biggest discount we’ve seen for it.

The most affordable iPad remains the ninth-gen iPad, and it’s even more affordable right now at its current $30 discount at Amazon. 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 small iPad Mini is $99 off right now at Amazon and selling for only $1 more than its lowest price ever. 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 own M1 chip when they hit the scene last spring. You can save $99 on the 11-inch model and a hefty $199 on the bigger 12.9-inch model.
