Cyber Monday iPad deals 2024: what to expect this year

Cyber Monday iPad deals are well well stocked, with five new models on the shelves for 2024 and a couple of older devices plugging away at their price tags as well. It these earlier models that are going to offer the best value this year (after all the 9th and 10th generation iPads are already seeing record-breaking discounts right now), but things are already looking good for the newer Air and Pro devices as well.

That's all before even considering the latest iPad Mini 7, which hit the shelves in late October. This is an iterative update over the previous generation model, though, and likely won't be as cheap as the Mini 6's $349 sale price. If you're after a cheap compact tablet, I'd recommend moving in on the older device well before Cyber Monday kicks off.

Nearly every iPad has seen its price trickling down over the last few months and we're not expecting that trend to stop any time soon. 2024 is already looking like an excellent year to upgrade your device, and we're showing you exactly how to take advantage of Cyber Monday to do that. Of course, you can also check out everything we expect from this year's Black Friday iPad deals for those heavy-hitters as well.

What to expect from Cyber Monday iPad deals in 2024

We've got seven models to look at in this year's Cyber Monday iPad deals; the 9th generation iPad, 10th generation iPad, two iPad Airs (11-inch and 13-inch), 2021's iPad Mini, and both 11- and 13-inch models of the new iPad Pro. That's a lot of tablet to be watching out for. Each of these models holds its own use-case, but they're also at varying ages as well. That means every iPad deal is going to be different this year.

Kicking off with the cheapest model, the 9th generation entry level iPad. This $329 dropped down to a then brand new record low $229 price point in last year's sales - a rate we hadn't even seen on the 8th generation before it. Not only that, but it's even dipped below $200 in more recent discounts as well. Because Apple is keeping this entry level device running alongside the 10th generation, those lower prices are to be expected, and will likely continue to run into 2024's Cyber Monday iPad deals.

Meanwhile, that 2022 10th generation model originally hit the shelves at $449 / £499, with a considerable design overhaul and a fancy processor at the helm. This year marked a permanent price drop on this device, kicking MSRP down to $349.99 - last year's Cyber Monday rate. Since then, this model has been spotted at $299.99 during recent sales - a position we're hoping to see again come Cyber Monday.

It's not just the cheaper models that will see big discounts in this year's offers, both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air and Pro models have taken more than their fair share of savings since release in the spring. The cheaper 11-inch started life at $599, but quickly dropped to $529 during Prime Day iPad deals in July - our predicted position for Cyber Monday. The 13-inch model has dipped to $699 so far this year for a $100 discount that we're hoping to see again.

Cyber Monday iPad Pro deals are already looking strong. The $999 11-inch device has been readily available for $899 for a few weeks now, a factor that strongly suggests we might see further savings over the Cyber Monday sale. Similarly, the 13-inch device hasn't seen its full $1,299 MSRP since June - instead, sitting at around $1,199 for most of its life.

FAQ

Are iPads cheaper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

iPads are generally cheaper on Black Friday than Cyber Monday. That's because of the many flash sales and extra value bundles that retailers use to compete in a more frenzied sale event. Stock also runs out on the most valuable discounts, which means we often see retailers raising prices slightly once Black Friday is over (and sometimes during the event itself).

What time of the year is the cheapest to buy an iPad?

There's no definite cheapest time of year to buy an iPad. As mentioned above, different sales all have the potential to offer up a brand new record low price and we can see those discounts landing on random days as well. However, November's sales are the biggest around - so you've got plenty more choice with more retailers competing and better value bundle options thrown in as well.
