 When is the best time to buy an iPad? 

iPad deals are a lot easier to find these days thanks to ongoing discounts available throughout the year. However, the best time to buy an iPad is typically during the later months of the year and Black Friday in particular. Around the holidays, we see the most competitive discounts among retailers and the lowest prices on Apple's premium tablets.

Other best times to buy an iPad are Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Amazon Prime Day, and back-to-school season.

 What is the best iPad to buy? 

Apple's latest iPad Air is the best iPad to buy and our number 1 pick for best overall tablet. It runs on Apple's old but still good M1 chip which makes it more than adequate for managing emails, socials, internet surfing, consuming content, gaming, and more.

Priced at $599 to start, you can usually find it on sale for $100 to $150 less.

What is the best budget iPad? 

Although overshadowed by the iPad 11, the 10th generation iPad is the best value iPad you can get.

In our iPad 10th gen review, we gave it a solid rating of 4 out of 5-stars and our Editor's Choice Award for good reason. We found its powerful performance, solid display, killer speakers, and useful Apple Pencil (sold separately) features impressive.
