Best Buy [bestbuy.com] has the base iPad current generation 64 GB black or silver at $279.99 FS or store pickup. Expired, now $329.99

This is the lowest generally available price on this unit so far.

New model will likely be announced Sept 7 at the Apple event. This will be in the return window if that changes anything.

Best Buy will take old iPads as trade-ins.

Target [target.com] also has at the same price now. Sale ends Saturday

Personally I'd go with the current iPad at a discount now if you need it, rather than wait for the new model.


In testing various generations of iPads of my family members, I think real-world performance hits the point of diminishing returns around the 8th gen (2020) iPad. I recently tested the 8th gen and current 9th gen iPad alongside the new iPad Air with the M1 chip. They load webpages within a split second of each other. The Air still stutters in dragging/zooming maps in web browsers, which makes me think the hardware has outpaced the software at this point.

If Apple puts an A14 in the new iPad, I think real-world performance will be basically identical to the current iPad. You may lose the headphone jack also.
It all depends on inventory. Given how many stores have this in stock for so long, my guess is there is still a lot of inventory. But hard to predict. If a new mode comes up at a much higher price without a lot of changes, this may not be discounted as much.

My strategy would be to buy it at a store with a 30 day return window and not open it until and if an updated model is released. This has worked for me in the past.
Do you think this will drop to $250 after new ipads are announced?

Does anyone have experience with 64 gb iPads? would it be too less to store some music and movies for a long flight?

It's already been that price at some outlets. I suspect that this price will be pretty common to try to eliminate current stock with $250 pricing here and there to accelerate the reduction of stock.

Anyone know how this compares to an iPad Pro 9.7" from around 2017?

This is more like an iPad Air 2 with a cpu memory upgrade.

The main advantage will be availability of iOS updates for longer.

It will realistically give you about 30GB discretionary space.

Music not a problem.

Movies depends on what quality and compression. 720p HEVC x265 will likely be fine. If you want to carry Full HD or 4K movies (makes no sense for this size), probably not enough for more than 6-8 hours flight.

In a nutshell: the pro has a higher quality, but smaller screen. It also has a less powerful processor (A9X in Pro 9.7, A13 in iPad 9th Gen). Everything is very similar to each other.
