Cyber Monday iPad deals — which iPad should I buy?
Apple’s iPad family is now bigger than ever. Currently, these are the models that Apple offers:
The 10.2-inch iPad is the most popular iPad for a reason. It’s Apple’s mainstream model that’s both its most affordable, while offering good bang for your buck. The tablet uses Apple’s A12 Bionic processor, giving faster performance that makes the tablet more capable for iPadOS 14’s multitasking tricks. It’s also going to make your next round in Apple Arcade a bit smoother.
The new 10.2-inch iPad can be used for sketching and drawing, thanks to its Apple Pencil (1st gen) support. For the first time, you can also pair the 10.2-inch iPad with Apple’s Smart Keyboard.
Our iPad Air (2020) review explains why that tablet is the best iPad for most people. It’s a lot like the iPad Pro, but its starting price is $200 less. Those perks start with thin bezels and the flat-edge design, but it’s also got the support for the top Apple accessories — the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil that’s much easier to charge and the Magic Keyboard which is an actual delight to use.
Apple’s iPad mini is the smallest tablet in Apple’s lineup (as its name implies). It’s not light on power, though, as Apple’s A12 Bionic chip makes it as fast as the normal iPad. Beloved by many, its portable size makes it ideal for reading, as well as writing emails and browsing social media. And don’t worry, its screen is still great enough to watch an episode of one of the best Netflix shows.
Power users, though, will want the iPad Pro. It’s available in both 11-inch and 12.9-inch sizes and you’ll find better deals on the 2018 model, which is pretty similar to the 2020 edition. The newer iPad Pro does feature slight performance gains found in Apple’s octo-core A12Z CPU. Even though its pricey, it’s still been the subject of holiday sales. Other cheap iPad deals are available as well, so keep your eyes open for optimal savings.
