Closing Window for Legacy Pricing on Apple iPads
Retailers are rapidly exhausting stock priced before Apple’s recent across-the-board hike, creating a fleeting opportunity to secure current-generation tablets at significant discounts. While inventory is thinning, several major outlets continue to list devices well below the new official list prices, though these deals are expected to vanish shortly.
The M4-powered iPad Air remains the standout opportunity for bargain hunters. While Amazon has depleted its initial supply, Best Buy currently lists the 128GB Wi-Fi model at $519, representing a $230 savings compared to Apple’s updated retail price. Amazon still maintains availability for the LTE-enabled version at $699, a $200 discount.
Beyond the Air, the broader iPad lineup remains accessible at lower price points for the moment. The entry-level iPad (2025) is currently retailing for $299 across Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. For those prioritizing portability, the 2024 iPad Mini is available at Best Buy for $449, while the high-end iPad Pro—featuring the M5 processor and 12GB of RAM—starts at $899 at Amazon. Consumers seeking these specific configurations should act quickly, as the retail landscape is shifting to reflect Apple's new, higher pricing structure.
