regular price seems to be $829

Groupon has such questionable deals sometimes.

$829 is the regular price of the 64 GB iPad Air, which is much, much faster and lighter than the 4. It is disingenuous to call that the current regular price of the (discontinued) iPad 4.

You could get a 32 GB iPad Air for $729. That seems like a much better deal than buying a discontinued (slower, heavier) model for $30 less!

Well, that's the current price of that exact model at Walmart and other retailers, not just what Groupon is saying.  But I agree with you - if I were buying an iPad today I'd probably get the newest model, but we do see posts on here from time to time about how to get discounts so I thought I'd share.

Where are you seeing that?  

Walmart is selling it for $649-679, depending on which carrier you choose.  For example:

Original retail price was $829, maybe, but for that price nowadays you get an iPad Air.

I blame some of this on Apple for their craptastic way of naming iPads. Just use numbers, jerks.
