View Amazon's full Memorial Day sale Amazon , in particular, has seen fit to discount not one, not two, but all six of Apples latest iPad models including the newly released iPad Air 13-inch (2026) so whether youre after a casual movie-watching slate or a productivity powerhouse, there are meaningful savings to be snagged before Memorial Day proper rolls around on May 25.

Here are Amazons iPad deals in full (which Ive cross-referenced against equivalent deals from Walmart, Best Buy, and Target): iPad 11-inch (2025):
now $299 (was $349) iPad mini 8.3-inch (2024): now $439 (was $499) iPad Air 11-inch (2026): now $519.99 (was $599) iPad Air 13-inch (2026): now $749 (was $799) iPad Pro 11-inch (2025): now $899 (was $999) iPad Pro 13-inch (2025): now $1,195 (was $1,299) So, which model should you buy? Weve got a dedicated guide to the best iPads elsewhere on TechRadar, but in this article, Ill give you a quick run-down of which iPads to consider, and which to avoid,
depending on your use case. The iPad 11-inch (2025), aka the iPad A16 (Image credit: Future) If youre looking for an iPad for streaming movies, scrolling social media, and FaceTiming family and friends, the iPad 11-inch (2025) is the way to go. This is Apple s most basic iPad, but its 11-inch LED display and capable A16 chipset make it as good as any other tablet in its price
range for casual movie-watching and light gaming. Seriously: if youre just planning on using your iPad for Netflix, you dont need to go above and beyond the iPad 11-inch (2025) especially when its available for just $299.

The smaller iPad mini 8.3-inch (2024) actually has a more powerful chipset than the base model, as well as Apple Intelligence compatibility, but you
wont benefit from these features unless youre planning on demanding more from your iPad than streaming and light gaming. And if that is you, then Id recommend looking towards the new iPad Air instead. The iPad Air 13-inch (2026), aka the iPad Air M4 (Image credit: Jacob Krol/Future) The iPad Air 13-inch (2026) hits the sweet spot between value and performance. Its MacBook-level M4 chipset means it can power through productivity-focused applications with ease, its compatible with Apple Intelligence, and it also boasts a tidy 12GB of RAM for smooth multitasking.

Those three features make it a better tool for college students and office workers than the iPad 11-inch (2025), and its available in two more work-friendly sizes than the 8.3-inch iPad mini. In other words, if you want to draw up documents, create presentations, and edit photos, get the iPad
Air. The iPad Pro 11-inch (2025), aka the iPad Pro M5, is overkill for most people (Image credit: Future/Jacob Krol) As for the iPad Pro 11-inch (2025) , you should only be considering this freakishly powerful product if youre a digital artist or full-time video editor. Its got the best display of any tablet on the market (its a 120Hz OLED , as opposed to a 60Hz LED), as well
as the most powerful chipset in the Apple M5. The latter means the iPad Pro can tackle 3D modeling and advanced video rendering, where other iPads cant, but if youre not planning on doing either of those things, then this tablet
is probably overkill even at Amazons $899 deal price.

As for which models could get replaced this year, Apple is reportedly
planning on releasing an Apple Intelligence-compatible base model and an OLED-equipped iPad mini in 2026. Neither will be anywhere near as cheap as their respective predecessors are currently, but if youd rather have AI capabilities on your movie-watching tablet or a smaller iPad with an OLED display, then they may be worth waiting for.
