iPad (10th generation)
Apple’s 10th generation entry-level iPad is a great no-frills option if you want to get into the world of Apple’s tablets but not break the bank.
10th generation iPad. Regularly priced at $500, the entry-level iPad is 10 percent off, making it one of the best deals you’ll likely find for this 64GB iPad. Introduced in 2022, the 10th generation iPad features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, an A14 Bionic processor, and a 12-megapixel camera on the front and back. This iPad is one of the better choices for people who like a little color in their lives, as it’s available in silver, blue, pink, and yellow.
iPad mini (6th generation)
The Apple iPad mini (2021) is basically a mini version of the iPad Air (2022). It adds a number of upgrades when it comes to hardware, including its processor and front camera.
If you thought the 10th-generation iPad was a good deal, you’ll be impressed at this 64GB iPad mini discount. This Prime Day, you can save 24% or $120 off the regular price of $500. This is undoubtedly a deal worth jumping on if you’re interested in adding one to your cart. TheiPad mini (6th generation)offers a petite 8.3-inch display, an A15 Bionic processor, and a 12-megapixel camera on the front and back, similar to the 10th generation iPad.
Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M2)
The iPad Air 11-inch (M2) offers a great balance between the base-level iPad and the iPad Pro.
The 128GBM2 11-inch iPad Airis on sale this Prime Day for 7% or $40 off, lowering the price to $560 from $600. 7% off is undoubtedly better than nothing, but it probably isn’t the best deal you’re able to find if you wait until Black Friday or Boxing Day sales. Notable features of this iPad include support for Apple Pencil Pro, Touch ID, and a larger 11-inch Liquid Retina display, all powered by Apple’s M2 chip. Color options include purple, green, space grey, and starlight.
13-inch iPad Air (M2)
A larger 13-inch iPad with pro-level features at a more affordable price point.
Similar to the 11-inch model, the13-inch M2 iPad Airisn’t a fantastic deal, but a deal nonetheless. For $730, you can pick up this larger iPad Air, saving you $70 or 9% from its $799 regular price. Offering all of the same features as the 11-inch model except with a larger 13-inch display, it also comes in purple, green, Space Grey, and Starlight. Again, if you’re eyeing this iPad, 9% isn’t a terrible discount, but it’s not as great of a deal as you might be able to get if you wait for another time of year.
11-inch iPad Pro (M4)
The smaller display sized version of Apple’s most powerful iPad. This is the highest end iPad Apple offers.
A 256GB11-inch M4 iPad Prois currently listed with a 7% discount, a $30 coupon (bringing your savings from $70 to $100), and a sale price of $1000. This powerful iPad is the first to offer Apple’s M4 processor. It also features Face ID and Wi-Fi 6e and comes in silver or space black.
Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)
The 13-inch iPad Pro packs its powerful M4 chip into a very thin, light, and portable design. It also offers a brighter, more vibrant OLED screen display.
Lastly, the larger 13-inch M4 iPad Pro is on sale for 8% off the 256GB model. If you’re interested in a large and powerful iPad, you can save $111 off the regular price of $1500. The 13-inch M4 iPad Pro includes all of the same features as the 11-inch, making display size the only difference between the two.
Best Prime Day laptop deals: Incredible savings on Samsung, HP, Dell, and more
Enjoy Prime Day savings on the Asus Zenbook S, MSI Creator M14, and gaming laptops like Alienware’s X16 R2.
iPads can often be found on sale throughout the year. Sometimes, they’re discounted to get people shopping at a specific store, and other times, they see more substantial deals during major sales events like Black Friday and Boxing Day. Nevertheless, Prime Day offers particularly great pricing on 10th generation iPads, especially the iPad mini. Meanwhile, the iPad Air and Pro lineups are less of an ‘act now’ deal.
There’s no better time to buy an iPad than the present. If you need an iPad right now, Prime Day offers you some discounts that Apple products don’t always see. On the other hand, waiting for another sales event could save you some extra cash if you aren’t in a rush and after an iPad Air or Pro.
