iPad iPad Sale

Do outgoing iPads become cheaper when the new iPads come out?

Usually. Depends on stock of older models.

For example, there was never a deep discount on the iPad 8th gen and it frequently went out of stock way before the 9th gen announcement (likely due to study at home).

Also, deep discounts may not appear until sometime after the new model’s release. I remember opting for the 2021 Pros because for the specific config I want, the discount from original MSRP for the 2020 Pro was just $50-100.

I found this to be true also. The shortage of newer iPad models meant that some resellers did not feel they needed to lower their prices. One example was that I frequently saw the 2020 12.9 Pro for more money than the M1 2021. The 2020 being available straight away and the M1 having an 8 week wait.

I paid $287 for my iPad 8 when it came out. I could probably almost get that for it now.. (Excellent condition, BTW)

iPad 8 and 9’s here are being resold for $100 over retail, it’s just ridiculous. I lucked out and found one at Best Buy just before they all sold out

The Air 5th gen will likely come out in the spring to catch up with the Mini 6 processor wise and get center stage.

The Pros will likely come out in the fall alongside the new Macbook Airs

Food for thought.

Where do you go to get the previous generation iPad? i.e. I'm interested in the 12.9" 2020 Pro.

Apple Refurbished store but pickings on lower end are getting slim, 256 gb WiFi is least expensive now.

When i bought my 2021 M1 11" pro a few months ago i looked at the prices the previous gen were selling for and the amount i would of saved just wasn't worth it..

Example
2021 512GB Wifi 3rd Gen = https://www.amazon.co.uk/2021-Apple-11-inch-Wi-Fi-256GB/dp/B0932SHDXX/ref=sr_1_3?crid=HEF8TI8XV27U&keywords=ipad+pro+11"&qid=1641488760&refinements=p_76:419158031,p_89:Apple&rnid=1632651031&rps=1&s=computers&sprefix=ipad+pro+11+,aps,132&sr=1-3&th=1

2020 512GB Wifi 2nd = Gen https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iPad-11-inch-Wi-Fi-512GB/dp/B086384BRT/ref=sr_1_10?crid=HEF8TI8XV27U&keywords=ipad+pro+11"&qid=1641488760&refinements=p_76:419158031,p_89:Apple&rnid=1632651031&rps=1&s=computers&sprefix=ipad+pro+11+,aps,132&sr=1-10

LOL the 3rd is even cheaper then the 2nd Gen on amazon uk at the moment

Yes I saw examples of stupid pricing of 4th vs 5th gen.
