🗂️Keep in Mind These Are the Best Preorder Deals on the New iPads

[_=*Croft*=_]

We've been telling you for some time not to buy iPads if you're the type of person who likes the latest tech, even if the iPad deals are tempting: If you managed to wait, the rumors about the new iPad were confirmed earlier this week during Apple's iPad event. The new 11th-generation iPad Pro will be the first Apple gadget to sport Apple's new M4 chip. You can get your preorders in now at Amazon, Best Buy, the Apple Store, and other retailers. Here are the best ones ready to ship your iPad starting May 15.

The iPad Pro starts at $999​

The iPad Pro has a new design, a new M4 chip, and an OLED display. You can choose between the 11- and 13-inch sizes that start at $999 and $1,299 for the 256 GB and wifi versions, respectively. The iPad Pro is Apple's thinnest product ever made at 0.2 inches thin for the 13-inch screen, according to their press release. iPads completely skipped over the M3 chip, going from the M2 straight to the M4, which is supposed to have a 50% faster CPU performance and up to four times faster GPU performance than the 10th generation iPad Pro's M2 chip. The new "Ultra Retina XDR" OLED screen can get up to 1,600 nits of brightness and claims to give rich, vivid colors and details.

• 
  Best Buy: Best Buy offers the best preorder deal with $50 off for My Best Buy Plus Members, which costs $50 for a year of benefits. You can also get up to $600 off with eligible trade-ins. No matter which route you take, you will also get three months of Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Fitness, Apple Arcade, and one month of the MLS season pass.
  
  
• 
  Apple: If you're looking to trade in some old tech gadgets, Apple is offering up to $580 for eligible products.
  
  
• 
  Amazon: Amazon has both the iPad Pro and iPad Air available, but it's offering no preorder deals, at least for now. They have done preorder deals in the past, so it wouldn't surprise me if they did come up with one before the May 15 launch date.
  

The iPad Air starts at $599​

iPad Air 2024

The new 2024 iPad Air now comes in two sizes, the 11-inch model, which starts at $599 and the 13-inch model, which starts at $799. The iPad Air is upgraded to the M2 chip and 128 GB, with 256 GB, 516 GB, and 1 TB options available. The new chip gives it a faster CPU, GPU, and neural engine speed. Some new features on the iPad Air include split view screens, subject lift, and live text features.

• 
  Best Buy: Best Buy offers the same three months of Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Fitness, Apple Arcade, and one month of the MLS season pass, but no $50 discount for My Best Buy Plus Members. You can get up to $310 if you trade in eligible products though.
  
  
• 
  Apple: Apple offers the same trade in deal as the iPad Pro of up to $580 for eligible products.
  
  
• 
  Amazon: Like the iPad Pro, there is no preorder deal at the moment, but they might come out with one later.
