Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event is nearly over, but you can still find huge savings on Apple's iPads. To help you find the lowest prices, our tech experts are rounding up all the best Prime Day iPad deals until the sale ends at midnight PT.
Right now, the ninth-generation iPad, which remains the top budget pick in our guide to the best iPads, is still 40% off. This price matches the lowest we've seen, and $200 for an iPad is an excellent deal. Though we're hoping for an updated model in the near future, the sixth-generation iPad Mini reigns supreme as our pick for the best small iPad, and it's on sale for 30% off.
Be sure to grab these best Prime Day iPad deals before the sale's conclusion. For even more last-minute savings, read our broader roundup of the best Apple Prime Day deals across various tech categories.
Aside from the standout deals on older models, you can also grab the powerful 11-inch 2024 iPad Air for $50 off.
The right iPad for you will depend on your specific needs and budget. Apple currently sells six iPad models, and four main factors differentiate them: screen size, performance, storage, and price. Check out our guide to the newest iPads for a full breakdown of options.
We recommend you start by assessing screen size and portability. The featherweight, 8.3-inch iPad Mini offers ultimate mobility, while the 13-inch iPad Air and iPad Pro boast the largest screens at the expense of portability. For a 10- to 11-inch screen with intermediate weight, you can choose from Apple's standard iPads, the 11-inch iPad Air, or the 11-inch iPad Pro.
Performance matters depending on the tasks you intend to use the tablet for. The standard iPads and the iPad Mini can handle everyday apps, but for demanding tasks like photo and video editing, especially with rendering, the additional speed provided by the iPad Air and iPad Pro models will be worth your while.
If you require more storage, the iPad Air and iPad Pro are your choices. They're the only models that offer 512GB and 1TB options (or 2TB of storage for the iPad Pros). The current iterations of the standard iPad and iPad Mini each offer only 64GB or 256GB of storage.
Discounts aside, the current iPad lineup's starting prices vary widely. The 10th-generation iPad starts at $349, the 13-inch iPad Pro at $1,199, and prices differ further for the models in between and as you add cellular capability.
