These iPad offers are my highlights of Cyber Monday so far – with 3 all-time low prices.

I'm on the ground scouting for decent iPad deals this Cyber Monday, and now that we're heading into the day for real, things haven't changed much. It's all about these excellent iPads below.
To be honest, I'm also super into this iPad mini deal that nets you $100 off from Amazon, bringing it to $399.99. Since the mini hasn't been included in the most recent line-up, it's a bit rarer.

The 4 best iPad deals in the US
iPad Air (5th Gen): $599.99 $499.99 at Amazon
Save $100: Want more power, a better screen for digital art and sketching, and much better speakers? The iPad Air covers you for streaming and film watching, but with its Apple Pencil 2 compatibility, there are also a lot more things you can do with it. We gave it an almost-perfect score of 4.5 stars in our review.
iPad (10th Gen): $449 $349 at BestBuy
Save $100: This is the 'entry-level' iPad, but with its A14 Bionic chip with 6-core CPU and 4-core GPU, there's nothing much 'entry' about it. This is a future-proof tablet if you use it for browsing, streaming TV and film, and mobile gaming. Oh, and it also has the call camera in the middle of the landscape side (at last!).
iPad (9th Gen): $329 $249 at Best Buy
Save $80: This deal was better yesterday, and may reach its $100 discount heyday again this Cyber Monday. But for now, the best price on the 9th Gen iPad is over at Best Buy. It's a cracking iPad, but doesn't have the power of the most recent release (above).
iPad mini: $499 $399 at Amazon Save $100: This is $20 off the lowest price we've seen. Given iPad minis aren't being produced lately, we're not sure it's always going to be easy to get one. So I'm actually quite into this deal even though it isn't the cheapest it's ever been. The mini certainly has its place, it's not the best for digital art (though handy for on the go sketching), but it's great for note-taking and streaming whilst on the move.
We're only recommending three UK iPad deals as we just don't feel any of the others measure up. But we'll keep checking, and update if something changes.
iPad (9th Gen): £369 £299 at Currys and Very
Save £70: The iPad 9 is a great tablet. And as it's not the brand new model, you're going to get the lowest prices on it – such as this deal at £299. Whereas the 10th Gen has more power, and resembles an Air in design, this is the classic iPad that is great for browsing, mobile gaming, and streaming.
Price check: Unavailable at Amazon
iPad (10th Gen): £499 £437 at Amazon
Save £62: The latest iPad is the most powerful iPad to date. Its A14 Bionic chip, with 6-core CPU and 4-core GPU, will be perfect for all the streaming, browsing and mobile gaming you can throw at it. And it has the call camera in the middle of the landscape side (at last!). Our iPad 10th gen review raves about it – we gave it 4 stars.
iPad Air (5th Gen): £699 £579 at Amazon
Save £90: The latest Air has more power, a better screen for digital art, and much better speakers. The iPad Air covers you for streaming and film watching, but with its Apple Pencil 2 compatibility, there are also a lot more things you can do with it. We gave it an almost-perfect score of 4.5 stars in our review.
