  at Walmart

• If you don’t need as much storage, the 64GB Wi-Fi configuration of the 2020 iPad Air is available at such a steep discount that it’s almost in base-model iPad territory in terms of pricing. You can get it at Walmart right now for $379 ($220 off its original price) in silver, space gray, or sky blue. It may not have the M1 CPU like the newer model, but its A14 Bionic is still very speedy. Read our review.
• Apple’s 64GB iPad Mini with Wi-Fi is on sale for $409 ($90 off) at Walmart. In some ways, it’s like an 8.3-inch iPad Pro with USB-C charging and gesture controls, one that lacks a 3.5-millimeter audio jack. Sadly, the 2021 Mini doesn’t normally get much cheaper than this, as it doesn’t have much competition in this space. Read our review.

• $409
• $500
• 19% off

Apple’s revamped iPad Mini ditches the home button and opts for a larger edge-to-edge display. It also comes outfitted with a faster processor, support for USB-C, and a top-mounted power button that moonlights as a Touch ID sensor.

• $409
  
  at Walmart

• Here’s the most affordable iPad deal: you can buy the latest 10.2-inch iPad with 64GB of storage and Wi-Fi for $309 instead of $329. Despite its standing as the low-tier iPad, it’s still a fast tablet that boasts a 12MP wide-angle front-facing camera with support for Center Stage to keep you in frame during video calls.
