iPad Price: Retail, Deals & Price History

Apple sells four kinds of iPad, and each one sits in its own price band. The basic iPad is the cheapest, the iPad mini and iPad Air fill the middle, and the iPad Pro is the top tier. Storage, screen size, and cellular add to the starting price.

The figures below are starting prices from Apple and other published reports, checked on Oct 12, 2026. Apple raised several iPad prices on June 25, 2026, so older pricing no longer applies.

The iPad with the A16 chip starts at $449. The iPad mini starts at $599. The 11-inch iPad Air starts at $749, and the 13-inch iPad Air starts at $949.

At the high end, the 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,199 and the 13-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,499. Those are base configurations. Extra storage and cellular models cost more, and the Apple Pencil and keyboard accessories are separate.

Apple raised prices across several products in June 2026, and three iPads in the table above moved up. The history table shows the figures from before June 25.

The iPad with the A16 chip cost $349 before and costs $449 now. The 11-inch iPad Air went from $599 to $749, and the 11-inch iPad Pro went from $999 to $1,199.

If an article quotes the lower numbers, it was written before the change. Retail promotions may bring the price down again, but this page lists Apple's list prices only.

• iPad (A16). It suits browsing, video, school work, and casual games, and it costs the least.
• iPad mini. It is small enough to carry in a bag, and it works well for reading and note taking.
• iPad Air. It offers a larger screen than the base iPad and handles heavier apps like photo editing.
• iPad Pro. It targets people who need top performance for creative work and want the best display.

Buy for what you do today rather than what you might do. Many people pay for a Pro and use it like a base iPad.

• Storage upgrades. Apple charges more for extra storage, and you cannot add it later.
• Cellular. A cellular model costs more than the Wi-Fi version and needs a data plan.
• Accessories. Apple Pencil, keyboard cases, and screen protectors are sold separately.
• AppleCare. Extended coverage is optional and priced per model.

Repair cost depends on the damage and on whether you have AppleCare. A cracked screen is the most common repair, and Apple, authorized service providers, and independent shops all handle it at different prices. No repair figures are listed on this page, so get a quote from Apple Support for your exact model.

Compare the repair quote against the price of a replacement. On a base iPad, a screen repair can approach a large share of a new device. Apple's repair page and AppleCare terms show what coverage applies.

Apple does not discount iPads often, and the list price holds for months at a time. Retailers do run sales around Black Friday, back to school, and Prime Day, mostly on the previous generation. Education pricing and trade-in credit lower the cost at Apple directly.

Since prices rose in June 2026, waiting for a drop is a gamble. If you need an iPad now, buy it, and if you can wait, watch retailer sales.

Apple sells iPads online and in stores, with trade-in credit toward a new one. Major retailers sell them too and sometimes discount older models. Apple's refurbished store sells previous units with a warranty, usually at a lower price than new.
