Starting at $1,249 with My Best Buy Plus (save $50)
Less than 24 hours after its reveal at Apple’s Tuesday “Let Loose” event, the latest iPad Pro is already $50 off at Best Buy — but not for everyone.
Shoppers who subscribe to the Plus tier of the retailer’s My Best Buy program are the sole enjoyers of its exclusive preorder discount, which applies to both 11- and 13-inch sizes of the premium tablet in every configuration. That includes the variants with cellular connectivity and those with its new nano-texture glass (matte) display option.
My Best Buy Plus costs $49.99 per year; if you haven’t signed up yet, you’re essentially getting a free membership out of this. The program’s perks include free two-day shipping, members-only discounts during certain savings events, and early access to high-demand items, which could be worthwhile for frequent Best Buy shoppers or those planning on upgrading more tech soon.

To give a quick recap from yesterday’s keynote, the all-new iPad Pro has been majorly overhauled since its previous iteration. It boasts a remarkably thin and lightweight design — it’s even slimmer than its just-announced Air counterpart — and it’s powered by a fast new M4 chip that hasn’t even made it over to the Mac lineup yet. It also boasts a bright new Ultra Retina XDR display featuring “tandem” (stacked) OLED panels for pure, inky blacks and excellent contrast.
The new iPad Pro will officially launch on Wednesday, May 15 alongside its new Magic Keyboard ($299+), a new Apple Pencil Pro ($129), and the new iPad Air ($599+). Those three were also available for preorder at the time of writing, but the iPad Pro is the only brand-new Apple product that’s received a discount thus far.
