Best iPad Air deals
As the name suggests, the iPad Air is built for life on the move. It's the slimmest and lightest full-size Apple tablet, and, in our view, is Apple's best all-round iPad.
The 2024 model earned five stars in our review, thanks to its large, cinematic screen, ample power and excellent audio. It misses out on the M4 processor and OLED screen of the iPad Pro model, but that helps keep the price down. A superb device for watching movies on the move.

Best iPad mini deals
The iPad Air is great for getting out and about, but if you're always on the move you might prefer the iPad Mini. The small screen is less suited to movie and games, but it's ideal for dipping into e-books or casual watching.
We haven't yet tested the 7th Generation iPad Mini (pictured), but it comes with the A17 Pro chip that also featured in the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The A17 Pro has a 30 per cent faster CPU, and 25 per cent more graphical heft, which should mean a significant boost to gaming and creativity apps. Wi-Fi 6E should provide faster wireless connectivity, while Apple Intelligence gives you all the AI abilities you could want.
Any improvement on the previous model would be an achievement. Despite launching in 2021, it still holds its own today, with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13, optional 5G, USB‑C charging and support for the Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Best iPad Pro deals
The iPad Pro is the biggest and most powerful tablet Apple makes. It's aimed squarely at creative professionals – those pointy-glasses-wearing content creators who illustrate, design, animate and produce. And it's perfectly suited to the task.
The latest model is the iPad Pro M4 – the 13-inch model earned five stars and a What Hi-Fi? Award. King among its skills is the OLED screen – a first for an iPad. This gives it a contrast level similar to a big-screen TV. Partnered with Apple's M4 processor, it's a beast of a machine.
This is an upgrade on the iPad Pro (2022), which offers an M2 chip, ProRes video, Wi-Fi 6E and upgraded Apple Pencil features. We didn't consider the upgrades significant enough to review that model, but we did test the previous one, the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021), which again scored five stars.

Best iPad deals
The standard iPad is now in its tenth generation – and it just gets better and better.
Once the only member of the iPad range, the standard iPad is now considered the entry-level model, with a more modest price tag than its siblings. That also means it's less well-specced – it has less storage than the rest of the family, less power, and not as thin as the iPad Air, with a slightly smaller screen.
We rated the latest iPad 10 (2022) five stars. It boasts a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display (up from 10.2-inches), a Touch ID button on the side, the same A14 Bionic chip as the iPad Air, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, 5G on cellular models, and a USB-C port.
The iPad 9 (2021) features a 10.2-inch display and a bunch of improvements over the previous generation, including a faster A13 Bionic chipset, a new front-facing camera and a True Tone display. It runs the same iOS as Apple's other tablets, giving it market-leading user-friendliness.
If you're on a tight budget, this is the tablet for you. It's also worth noting that we were mightily impressed with the 2020 iPad (8th Gen), which you can still buy.
