Ahead of Prime Day, which runs July 16 and 17, deals are sneakily sliding in. The next few days are a bit of a waiting game to see what sought-after products will go on sale. Luckily for you, we're on top of our game finding the early deals, including on the latest iPads from Apple.
These discounts might not seem like much, less than $100 off each model, but these are the lowest prices ever on these iPads. The spring release of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro brought noteworthy tech, creating tablets with as much power as the best laptops we've tested. So while these deals seem subtle, we can confirm they're the best prices on iPads right now.
Don't worry, we're not so patiently waiting to see what Prime Day brings.
Note: We'll be updating this article with the latest prices as we get closer to the main event. All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

Why we like it
Among the tablets we've tested, the iPad 9th generation is the best for most people. This 2021 model isn't the newest tech, especially with the release of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro, however, it's a great value. It has all the essentials you want in an iPad as the A13 lets you stream, read, and work. When not on sale, it comes in at $329, about $20 cheaper than the iPad 10th generation, but the savings are even bigger ahead of Prime Day. Now, you can get the iPad 9th generation for $249, saving you $80 for 24% off.

Loaded with the M2 chip, the iPad Air is a tablet with the power of a laptop. It's our best overall iPad, as it goes beyond just entertainment — it can be a professional workspace too. The M2 chip powers creatives who want to illustrate and with 1TB of storage, you won't run out of space when starting new projects. This iPad Air usually starts at $1,099, but it's currently down to $1,024, knocking $75 off the price. Those 7% savings bring it down to its lowest price, unbeatable for the amount of power and storage you're getting.
Best iPad Pro deal

The iPad Pro is not only the most advanced tablet we've ever seen, but maybe the most advanced computing power period. If you need an iPad for professional use, something that can accomplish all your work, from photo to video editing, look no further than the iPad Pro which scored a 14,586 on the Geekbench 6 test, which is better performance than both the M3 Macbook Air and M3 Macbook Pro.
Ahead of Prime Day, you can get the latest iPad Pro for $928, saving you $71. Like the rest of the tablets on this list, those 7% savings might seem minor, but it's the lowest price we've ever seen.
Best iPad Mini deal

In some ways, the iPad Mini is Apple's answer to an e-reader. That's oversimplifying it for sure, as the Mini can do everything you expect from an iPad — browse the internet, stream shows, play games — but it does so in a compact package, giving it a better hand feel for reading.
Ahead of Prime Day, the iPad Mini is down to $399.99, giving you $99.01. That saves you 20% — plenty of savings you can reallocate to your summer book budget.
