But there are some chances to save some cash in the early days: 

Firstly, let’s talk about the My Best Buy Plus and My Best Buy Total member deal. While Best Buy isn’t offering a cash discount for members on the new M5 MacBook Pro, it is knocking $50 off an M5 iPad Pro for its paid members alongside “up to 2 years of AppleCare+ protection included on most new Apple purchases.” 

This is the only straight up cash discount we have tracked yet on the new iPad Pro lineup without having to deal with a trade or having some gift cards/store credit stocked up. 

As for the trade-in action, Best Buy is promoting enhanced values that can net you a new M5 iPad Pro as low as $499 with qualifying trades. Now, as usual, we always recommend you check how much Apple will give you for your old gear first, but Best Buy does tend to offer notable trade-in values towards new Apple gear. 

It is currently offering $480 off the new M5 iPad Pro with trade-ins of a base model 256GB M4 iPad Pro, as seen above. 

If you go to flip your 13-inch base model M4 iPad Pro 256GB, we are currently seeing a value of $780 back against the M5 model. 

And just for reference, for those who might still be rocking an older  iPad Pro, Best Buy is offering $320 back on the 11-Inch iPad Pro (4th Generation) with the M2 chip and 512GB of storage. 

There are a million different products Best Buy will accept as trade-in against the new M5 Pro, so be sure to go scope out what you can get before making any decisions.
