Save Now on iPads: Walmart & Best Buy Drop Prices

In summary, retailers such as Walmart and Best Buy are currently offering discounts on the iPad and iPad Mini. The third-generation iPad has been reduced in price by 30 percent, while the iPad Mini is now priced at $299. These deals have led to speculation about the release of a new iPad, but Walmart has stated that their price drop is simply due to customer demand and not a new product launch. Additionally, refurbished iPads can also be found for great deals on Apple's website.

From Yahoo:
It's looking like a good time to buy an iPad. That is if you aren't holding out for the next version of Apple's tablet.

Walmart, Best Buy and other retailers have just dropped the price on the iPad and iPad Mini. Walmart has cut the price of the 16GB iPad Mini from $329 to $299. Apple released the smaller tablet last September; it has a smaller 7.9-inch screen than the 9.7-inch iPad.

But there are discounts on that full size iPad too. Best Buy has trimmed the priceof the third-generation iPad by 30 percent. The $449 16GB tablet is now $314 and the 64GB version is $454. The third-generation iPad was released in March 2012; the fourth-generation, released in fall 2012, has the same screen and design, but a faster processor and Apple's new charging port.

Best Buy, which began selling the discounted tablets on Thursday online and in stores, is already sold out at many locations. Best Buy confirmed that some stores still have some left, but that many were out of stock. The company will not replenish the stock since the third-generation iPad is no longer being made by Apple.

Those are some good deals if you can get them, but it also raises the question of the next iPad. Some have speculated that the move to clear inventory signals that Apple might be preparing to launch the next version of its tablet. Walmart, however, says that the drop is just about providing customers with "prices they can afford." It also comes in time for Mother's Day, Father's Day and graduation season.

"Some have asked us if we think this signals the possibility of a new iPad to be released. That is not the case," a Walmart spokesperson told ABC News. "Walmart's move is due to consumer demand and our commitment to providing the best price, not potential new product introductions."
 
Check out refurbished ones in the "store" at Apple.com - great deals!!!
 
But as with any Apple product, the rumor mill is churning. Some reports have suggested that a thinner and lighter fifth-generation iPad could come as soon as June, while others believe it will be released in the fall, alongside a new version of the iPad Mini with a higher resolution screen.So, if you're in the market for an iPad and don't mind possibly missing out on the latest and greatest, now may be a good time to take advantage of these discounts. But if you're holding out for the newest version, you may want to wait a little longer. As always with Apple products, it's a personal decision based on your budget and needs. Happy shopping!
