iPad Pro (2017) deals

Hey, wasn't there supposed to be an iPad Pro 2 this year? Well, yes, but Apple instead decided to name their new iPad Pro, the iPad Pro. Thanks, Apple. We can help make sure you're able to spot the differences between the two though to make sure you don't buy the old ones by mistake if you want the latest and best iPad Pro deals.

First up, the 10.5-inch iPad Pro is actually a brand new size in the iPad Pro range, as the previous smallest model was 9.7-inches. There is a new 12.9-inch model though. But how do you tell the difference between the old and new iPad Pro versions? Our go-to tactic is to check the internal spec and look for the one key difference. The newest iPad Pros use an A10X processor, and the older ones have the A9X chip. So if you want to be sure you're getting the latest version, look out for that A10X processor chip. Some retailers may have '2017' in the listing title too, but many, including Apple, don't.

So let's look at reasons to buy the new iPad Pro over the older ones. The A10X is a faster processor to give it the edge over the older iPad Pro although the performance boost isn't huge to be honest. The rear camera gets a modest megapixel boost. The front camera gets a bigger boost though for a much clearer FaceTime experience. 

Both of the new models are available in 64GB, 256GB and 512GB hard drive sizes. You'll also need to decide if you want a standard iPad Pro with only Wi-Fi or mobile tethering options available for online activities, or to opt for the considerably more expensive cellular models and a data-only SIM only deal too.

The new iPad Pro screens screens now benefit from smaller bezels and an improved display, for arguably the best iPad screen yet. All things considered though, the list of changes for the new iPad Pro aren't exactly revolutionary. If the minor improvements don't float your boat, you should take a look further down this page as we've listed the best deals available for the older iPad Pro models. There's a strong chance you'll be able to save money by opting for an older model for a while. If not, the latest prices for the new iPad Pro deals are directly below.

iPad mini 4 deals

The best 7-inch tablet ever made

One of the major changes with the iPad mini 4 over last year's mini 3 is its design. It may look the same, but it's been slimmed down from 7.5mm to a wafer thin 6.1mm. It's also now more powerful, has a stunning screen and the battery is still a 10-hour beast. The A8 processor is a good step up from the A7 inside the mini 3 so if you're going to play 3D games or throw around some of the more hefty iPad apps from the App Store, this is certainly your best option.
