Best iPad 10th/9th generation deals: cheapest iPad for sale prices

The standard 10.2-inch iPad (9th gen) is the cheapest iPad Apple sells, but in October 2022 it was joined by a 10.9-inch iPad (10th gen) that costs a bit more and comes in a variety of colors. If you’re looking to pick up a deal and save money on either the 2021 iPad (9th gen) or the 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 step in! 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.

One thing to note if you are shopping outside of the U.S.: when it introduced the 10th gen iPad, Apple actually increased the price of the 9th-generation iPad! Read more about that here: Is Apple ripping off the rest of the world with inflated prices? The main reason we mention this is it might make the discounts on the older iPad look better than they are, which is why we quote the price it was as well as what it is sold for now. Note that Apple reduced U.K. prices for the iPhone in September 2023, so it may soon do the same for the iPad.

There is more than one kind of iPad though. The standard iPad also has more expensive siblings including iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro and if you click those links you can see deals on those models. Also, have a look at our iPad Buying Guide if you aren’t sure which model you want. You may also like to read: best iPad for kids, best iPad for students and best iPad for seniors.

Note that we are likely to see a new iPad in 2024, so if you would like to find out what the next generation might bring read our rumors about the new iPad 11th generation. We expect that when the new model arrives Apple is likely to stop selling the 9th generation iPad, which is the only iPad with a Home button and Lightning connection (so if that’s what you want buy one before they are discontinued).

Where to buy the iPad (10th gen and 9th gen)

In 2021 the 9th gen iPad suffered from stock shortages, so half the challenge was finding a retailer that has one in stock. Hopefully this won’t also be the case with the 10th gen iPad, 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 will see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple 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:
