You might be surprised to learn that it's a pretty good time to buy a new iPad. While supplies of the new iPad Pro might be limited, there are tons of iPad deals available. That includes deals on last year's 12.9-inch iPad Pro, or you can snag a refurbished iPad Air for next to nothing. But fans of the compact and powerful iPad Mini are surely pleased to see a long-awaited discount finally pop up.
