In the market for an iPad? Now’s a good time to buy, because a handful of models are on sale at or close to their lowest prices ever. That includes both the standard iPad, as well as the speedier iPad Air. It’s unclear how long these deals will last, so grab ’em if you want them.

Most people reading this will get by just fine with a standard iPad. Instead of a 9.7-inch screen of previous models, this latest iteration sports a more spacious 10.2-inch screen. This iPad also has a Smart Keyboard connector (something previously available only on pricier models), making it even easier for this to become an all-around laptop replacement.

If you have a bit more money to spend, you can get an iPad Air, which features a 10.5-inch display with True Tone technology that matches the tone of the screen to the light around you. It also runs on the more powerful A12 Bionic chip, rather than the A10 chip the standard iPad uses.
iPad Accessories on Sale at Amazon
- Smart Keyboard – $128.98 at checkout (was $159)
- Apple Pencil – $89 (was $99)
- AirPods – $128.98 (was $159)
- AirPods with Wireless Charging Case – $169 (was $199)
- AirPods Pro – $249 (not on sale, but still good)
Both the standard iPad and iPad Air are compatible with the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil (first generation). The Smart Keyboard is an iPad case that unfolds into a full-sized keyboard that’s more comfortable to type on than glass. Thanks to the Smart Keyboard connector on these iPads, you don’t need to do anything to connect the device — that happens automatically when you put the case on. Nor does it need batteries or to be charged separately, because the iPad’s battery powers it too.
The Apple Pencil is also compatible with both iPads. It’s great for note-taking, drawing, editing, and anything else you don’t want to use your finger as an input device for. It’s a bit pricy, but it’s a huge leap over most other styluses in terms of usability and function.
Finally, also on sale are all models of Apple’s AirPods, the wireless earbuds that sync quickly and automatically to all of your Apple devices, including this iPad. Standard AirPods are a great buy, but the ones in the wireless charging case can be recharged using a wireless Qi charging pad. AirPods Pro can also use a wireless charging pad, and they feature active noise canceling as well.
