Best Cheap iPad 2021- Which iPad Should I Buy?

iPad deals aren't always simple to come by, but the quality of the ones that are are largely influenced by where we are in Apple's launch cycle. Due to the release of the new iPad Pro, discounts on premium models are a little slower than usual, but there are lots of discounts on the iPad 8th generation and iPad Air 4 right now.

Because the new 2021 iPad Pro has been on the market for a few weeks (and we've already seen a few flash iPad discounts providing $50 off the new model), promotions on the previous generation have come to a standstill. While we were seeing some great iPad prices on the 2020 iPad Pro, supplies are quickly running out, so you'll have to wait for the next model to get the best deal.

Older generation iPad bargains can also be discovered, but because these devices will be phased out once the new update reaches its stride, stock on 2018 iPad Pro sales and 2019 iPads is now low. However, some merchants are still selling older devices in larger configurations, which means you might save even more money if you need a lot of storage and don't mind going back a generation in processing.

The list of best cheap iPad 2021 is as follows:

The 2020 8th generation iPad has the same entry level pricing as its 2019 predecessor, however it has a 40 percent quicker processing power than previous generations. That means you're getting a lot of bang for your buck, and we'd recommend this model to anyone looking for a budget-friendly option.

The price of the 2020 iPad is $329 / £329 / AU$499 for 32GB of storage in a WiFi model, and $429 / £429 / AU$649 for 128GB. We've already seen iPad bargains for the newest generation, with a $299 sale price in the United States performing particularly well.

If you primarily want to browse the web, play games, take notes, or stream material, this affordable iPad is a good choice.

The 2019 model is no longer available, and if you can find it, it appears to be more expensive than the current model.

• OS: iPadOS 
• Screen size: 11-inch
• Resolution: 2388 x 1668 pixels

Apple's amazing M1 chip delivers exceptional performance in the new iPad Pro. You'll be flying through games, augmented reality, and more demanding apps at breakneck speed with that very amazing brain at the helm. According to Apple, the 8-core processor will provide a 50% boost in performance over the 2020 model, as well as a 40% increase in GPU performance.


While the 11-inch model doesn't have the XDR display (you'll have to upgrade to the 12.9-inch model to get it), it does have the larger 2TB storage option, which is the most we've seen on an iPad to far. If you do decide to go for the maximum storage, keep in mind that the 1TB and 2TB models come with double the RAM, up to 16GB.

A 12MP ultra-wide lense with a 122-degree field of vision is used in the new front-facing camera. That means you'll be able to use a new option called Centre Stage, which will move your camera to keep you in frame during video conversations as you walk about.

The new iPad Pro price starts at $799 / £749 / AU$1,199 for the 128GB device and $899 / £849 / AU$1,349 for the 256GB model, which is the same as the previous generation. Once you get past these entry-level iPads, though, things start to diverge from last year's iPad prices.

If you choose the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro, you'll have access to a fantastic display. We won't know how the mini-LEDs, 2732 x 2048 resolution, 1600 nits of peak brightness, million to one contrast ratio, and 120Hz refresh rate perform in real life until we get our hands on it, but the spec sheet appears to be on par with an OLED display.

Apart from the larger screen, this is the primary reason for choosing the 12.9-inch iPad Pro over the 11-inch iPad Pro. However, compared to the smaller variant, this one has a slightly thicker profile.

The strong M1 chip, many of storage options (including the new 2TB version), excellent CPU and GPU performance enhancements, and Thunderbolt connectivity are all included in the 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

We're seeing the similar pricing shift with the iPad Pro, with the lesser 128GB and 256GB models mirroring last year's release but costs rising as you move up the premium ladder.

• OS: iPadOS 
• Screen size: 11-inch

When the 2020 iPad Pro was originally released, it was available at some incredible pricing, but those reductions have now dwindled. While the newest model offers the same pricing on the 128GB and 256GB variants, any iPad bargains on the 512GB or 1TB 2020 model will still be worthwhile.

The A12Z Bionic CPU in this model is a step down from the M1 processor in the latest generation, but it's still tremendously capable for everyday and demanding use.

These iPad Pro bargains are best for individuals who require a little more power than the iPad Air but don't want (or need) to carry about a 12.9-inch display.

• OS: iPadOS 
• Screen size: 12.9-inch 
• Resolution: 2732 x 2048 pixels

• MicroSD slot: No

• Rear camera: 12MP 
• Front camera: 7MP

While the M1 model may have beaten the 2020 12.9-inch iPad Pro to the punch, there's still plenty of power beneath the hood, as well as a big display to push the technology even farther. However, with the 128GB and 256GB storage capacities, the 2021 model offers a lot more for the same MSRP. However, discounts on this older model have been delayed in recent weeks, so if you require 512GB or 1TB of storage and want to spend as little as possible, this is the device to choose.

The cost of a 12.9-inch iPad Pro can quickly add up. However, for your money, you are getting an exceptionally powerful device.
