- Apple: $100 gift card for students
- BestBuy: iPad Air 5 now $200 off
11-inch Apple iPad Pro (2022, 4th generation): was $999 now $699 at Best Buy
Now that the latest iPad Pro is out, Apple's last-gen iPad Pro is currently on sale for $699. It's a powerful tablet, though, that features a QHD resolution display with support up to 2388 x 1668 resolution. It also runs on the M2 chip, which still reliably multitasks without slowing down the device. This build includes 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, but you can add more for an upcharge. At $300 less than the original price, it's a rare discount from Apple.
iPad 10.2 (2021): was $329.99 now $249.99 at Amazon
The iPad 10.2 has been available at this low price for over six months now – and briefly dipped to $229 in that period – but this offer remains a great deal. This Apple tablet may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. If you need an entry-level slate for web browsing, streaming videos, light admin work or playing basic games then this can do it all without issue. Right now, when it comes to powerful and affordable tablets that offer excellent value for money, nothing else can beat the Apple iPad 10.2 at this price.
Apple iPad 10.9 (2022): was $349 now $299 at Amazon
Apple recently slashed the recommended starting price of the iPad 10.9 to $349 earlier this month, but Amazon has now dropped it even further to a new record low. It's great value for money at this price if you need an all-around tablet. We said Apple's latest base-level tablet is a big upgrade over the previous generation model in our iPad 10.9 review, with a larger Liquid Retina display, a new A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, USB-C support, and a sleek design.
Apple iPad mini (2021): was $499.99 now $379.99 at Amazon
This discount means you can get a 8.3-inch tablet that delivers a similar performance to the last-generation iPad Air but in a much smaller form. There are also significant upgrades to the processing chip and cameras, as well as all-day battery life that make it a solid option for those that need a portable everyday tablet.
Apple iPad Air 5 (2022): was $599.99 now $399.99 at Best Buy
A $200 discount makes an already very affordable iPad tablet even more budget-friendly. For under $500, you'll get an amazing 10.9-inch liquid retina display, guaranteeing all your favorite shows and apps will look great. 64 GB of storage is not to be sniffed at but for $150 more, you can always upgrade to 256GB. Even though the M1 chip is a few years old, it still has an impressive amount of power - perfect for those who want a powerful portable device.
12.6-inch Apple iPad Pro (2022, 4th generation): was $1,299 now $899 at Best Buy
Apple's larger iPad Pro M2 is also on sale for a big discount at Best Buy. Don't be fooled by the older processor, the Apple M2 chip is still blazing fast, and it should have no problem running Apple's upcoming Apple Intelligence software, if that's your fancy. If you want a pro-level iPad for much less than the latest model, this is a great deal on a huge Apple tablet.
iPad Pro 11-inch (2024): was $999 now $929.99 at Amazon
In our hands-on iPad Pro (2024) review, we described Apple's latest flagship tablet as "the impossibly thin king of iPads – and maybe all tablets." Naturally, that level of quality comes at a premium, but Amazon has seen fit to discount the 256GB, Wi-Fi-only variant of the 11-inch iPad Pro (2024) to a slightly more digestible price ahead of its May 15 release. Every little helps, as they say.
iPad Pro 13-inch (2024): was $1,299 now $1,198 at Amazon
If you want the biggest and best iPad, then Amazon has the 13-inch iPad Pro 2024 on sale. It's a mighty tablet and one that's all the more attractive with $100 cut off the price. If it's sold out at Amazon, then Best Buy has pretty much the same iPad Pro 13-inch deal.

Amazon Prime Day iPad deals: FAQs
When does Prime Day July 2024 end?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 started as of midnight on July 16, and runs until July 17. The event starts at midnight and runs through until 11:59pm (23:59) on Wednesday.
We could also see a second Prime Day in late October, which has become a commonplace addition to the retail calendar in recent years.
Do you need Amazon Prime to get these deals?
Yes, you do need an Amazon Prime membership to get access to the best sales on Prime Day.
If you land on the page and see there's no mention of needing a Prime membership, then it's likely you won't need one to get that price.
With all that said, if you're not a Prime member, then it's not a bad idea to sign up anyway. There's always a 30-day free trial on offer, and you'll get full access to Amazon's big sales and free expedited delivery, alongside a ton of other perks.
For everyone else, you need to activate or renew your subscription in order to take part. It currently costs $14.99 / £8.99 per month, or you can pick up a one-year membership for $139 / £95.
Amazon Prime: 30-day free trial
If you've never signed up before you can get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to get access to Prime Day deals, when they roll around each year. You get the same benefits as paid members, including free delivery, and access to other services such as Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Gaming and more. You can cancel at any time during the trial to avoid paying the regular fee, which is $14.99 / £8.99 per month.
Is Amazon Prime Day the best time to buy an iPad?
Yes. Outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Amazon's Prime Days offer some of the best iPad deals, where you can save up to hundreds of dollars or pounds on Apple's tablets. And it doesn't matter if you score a deal on Prime Day itself or in the days ahead of the main event, as great bargains tend to pop up before the 48 hours of sales get underway.
How we choose these Prime Day deals
We have a lot of tech and deals expertise on the TechRadar team, so we aim to bring you great deals on all manner of products. Speaking specifically about iPads, we'll look for deals that cut huge amounts off premium models, making the likes of the iPad Pro more appealing.
But we also consider a saving of $50 / £50 off the likes of the standard iPad or iPad mini a decent deal, as that money can then be used to get some apps or games to help you get a great iPad experience from the start.
We've also reviewed these iPads and regularly use them so know if they are worth your time. And when it comes to finding a deal we'll check for historical price cuts to see if the deal really is good or might be some smoke and mirrors; though money off Apple products is generally a good thing, even if it's not a record-breaking price slash.
