In a disappointing move, Apple announced a huge price increase across a number of iPad models, but if you act fast you might be able to beat the newly inflated RRP. Technically discounted – although the price didn’t technically drop – some UK retailers are still listing the original prices for the iPad mini, iPad Air and ninth-generation iPad, albeit for a limited time.
This means you can save yourself up to £170 if you buy right now. If you’ve been considering purchasing any one of these iPad models, this will likely be your last chance to pay the significantly lower original prices before all retailers inevitably implement the new increases currently listed on Apple’s storefront.
Apple iPad mini (2021) – save up to £170
As it stands, the 64GB iPad mini will now cost you £569 on the Apple website, but you can still grab it for just £459 at John Lewis. That amounts to a whopping saving of £110.
If you’re after the cellular versions, you’ll have to pay a bit more for the privilege. The 64GB model with SIM compatibility costs £619 (saving £130) and the 128GB version is priced at £759 (saving £170).
It’s a similarly impressive £100 saving on the 64GB iPad Air 2022, which can still be had on Amazon and John Lewis for £569, but will currently cost you £669 on the Apple website.
As is the case with the iPad mini, the cellular model of the iPad Air is also still going for launch price. The 64GB model with 4G is priced at £719 (£130 saving) and the 256GB variant is £869 (£160 saving).
Ninth-generation Apple iPad (2021) – save up to £100
Finally, you can save £70 on the basic iPad (9th generation). The 64Gb model is going for £299 on Amazon and John Lewis compared to £369 on the Apple website.
