: Unlike new iPads, this legacy model doesn't follow a strict seasonal release cycle. Its price drops primarily when newer "base" iPads (like the iPad 11th or 12th Gen) are released, pushing more users to trade in their older Pro models.

Since this model was discontinued in 2019, you can only find it used or refurbished through third-party retailers.

: As of April 2026, average prices for the 64GB model hover around $108–$114 .

The is now a "legacy" device, meaning the best time to buy it is right now if you find it for under $110–$120 in good condition. However, because it is no longer receiving major iPadOS updates (capped at iPadOS 17 ), it is generally recommended only as a secondary device for media consumption or light tasks rather than a primary work tool.
