Cheapest place to buy an iPad in the UK
The accessory you want may not fit the iPad you were about to buy.
Several lines and several generations, all on sale
The range runs multiple lines simultaneously, each with generations that stay available for years. Naming rarely makes the year obvious and the designs change slowly, so a listing showing only the line name could be current or several years old.
Accessory compatibility is decided by the model
Pencils and keyboards do not fit every iPad. Which stylus generation works, and whether a particular keyboard attaches at all, depends on the specific model — so buying the tablet first and the accessory later is how people end up with something that does not fit.
If an accessory matters to you, confirm compatibility before choosing the tablet.
Wi-Fi, cellular and storage
Cellular versions are a separate listing at a consistent premium and it is easy to compare one against the other by accident. Storage tiers are priced well above the cost of the memory, so buying the tier you need rather than the one above is usually the largest saving in the range.
Before you buy
- Identify the line and generation.
- Confirm Wi-Fi or cellular before comparing anything.
- Check accessory compatibility if you want a pencil or keyboard.
- Compare storage tiers — occasionally the larger one is discounted below the smaller.
- Include Apple refurbished in the comparison.
